Lot description: Severina AD 270-275. Antioch Antoninianus Æ silvered 23 mm, 3,96 g SEVERINA AVG, draped bust right, wearing stephane and set upon crescent / CONCORDIAE MILITVM/ S/ XXI, Concordia standing left, holding signum in each hand. Extremely Fine RIC online 3179. Ulpia Severina, also known as Severina the Younger, was a Roman Empress and the wife of the Roman Emperor Aurelian. She is mentioned in historical sources, but like many figures from the Roman Empire, her life and role are not extensively documented. Severina married Aurelian probably before he became emperor. During his reign from AD 270 to 275, she held the title of Augusta, which was a honorific given to the wives of emperors. Unfortunately, not much is known about her actions or influence during Aurelian's rule. Starting price: 50 EUR |
