Roman Empire. Gordian III (AD 238-244). Antoninianus Minted in Rome, 243-244 A.D. FELICIT TEMP (No reserve price)
The Antoninianus was a Roman silver coin introduced in the early 3rd century, initially valued at two denarii, though it suffered debasement over time. Gordian III’s Antoninianus coins minted in Rome around 243-244 AD bear the inscription 'FELICIT TEMP,' emphasizing themes of happiness and secure times under his reign. This coin type was prominent during periods of economic difficulty as a way to meet military and administrative expenses. Antoniniani are notable for their portraiture detail and inscriptions, offering valuable clues about the emperor’s propaganda and economic strategies during the Crisis of the Third Century.
