He was born in 86 AD. Around 133-136, he served in Asia as proconsul, and there he earned the respect of Emperor Hadrian. After Hadrian's return from the Jewish war, Antoninus was made a member of his council not only on grounds of friendships and family connection, but also because of his experience as a jurist and administrator. After the sudden death of Lucius Aelius Caesar, Antoninus was officially adopted by Hadrian on February 25, 138 as successor to the throne. After administering the imperial offices, Hadrian died and Antoninus became emperor. Antoninus married Faustina and they had four children: two sons and two daughters. However, only one daughter was alive at the time of his adoption by Hadrian. Later, he adopted Marcus Aurelius, who was to be the successor to his throne. In 139, he gave to Marcus the name of Caesar and made him consul designate. In 146, Aurelius was recognized as Antoninus's colleague in rule, and the hopes of Rome and the fortunes of the dynasty rested upon him. Antoninus managed to govern the empire capably and yet with such a gentle hand that he earned the respect, acclaim, and love of his subjects. How many hands have touched a coin in your pocket or purse? What eras and lands have the coin traversed on its journey into our possession? As we reach into our pockets to pull out some change, we rarely hesitate to think of who might have touched the coin before us, or where the coin will venture to after it leaves our hands. More than money, coins are a symbol of the state that struck them, of a specific time and location, whether contemporary currencies or artifacts of a long forgotten empire. This stunning hand-struck coin reveals an expertise of craftsmanship and intricate sculptural detail that is often lacking in contemporary machine-made currencies. This coin is a memorial to an ancient emperor passed from the hands of civilization to civilization, from generation to generation that appears as vibrant today as the day it was struck. - (MT.0294)   « Less

In the tumultuous 3rd century, Probus, like many others, sought his fortune through the military. Unlike others, he rose quickly to become one of the leading generals of the empire. After the death of Florianus, Probus was proclaimed emperor by his troops. His reign was unique not only for its military successes, but also for the economic reforms he initiated, including introducing viticulture into several of the western provinces. Just as remarkable was his good relations with the Roman senate. Had he lived longer, the senate might have regained its former prestige. In the end, Probus' reign was brought to a close by mutinous soldiers who were angry at having been employed on public works instead of military duties. - (FJ.7236)   « Less

Circa: 270 AD to 275 AD Collection: Jewelry Style: Roman Coin Pendant Medium: Silver and Gold Aurelian, full name Lucius Domitius Aurelianus, rose through the ranks of the army and became a commander of the strategic cavalry corps in 268 A.D. From this position, he joined the conspiracy against Gallienus. In 270, while he was campaigning against the Goths, he staged a revolt against Emperor Quintillus. Troops across the Empire rallied behind their highly popular general and Quintillus, who recognized the hopelessness of his cause and committed suicide shortly thereafter, paving Aurelian’s path to the throne. As Emperor, Aurelian set about restoring Rome to her past glories, soundly defeating the barbarian invaders who had been threatening the borders and sweeping away usurpers who had seized the throne of far away kingdoms. Aurelian drove Germanic invaders out of Northern Italy back across the Danube, the first of many campaigns whose aims were to secure the borders. He eliminated usurpers who claimed political control of distant provinces and restored their lands under the central authority of Rome. However, Aurelian promoted peace as much as war, overhauling the Roman welfare system and forgiving debts to government. - (FJ.7238)   « Less
