                                Description

     This piece was minted at Milan or Antioch during the short reign
     of Volusian, who was the son of Trebonianus Gallus. He was given
     the rank of Caesar at the time of his father's accession in 251,
     and was created Augustus later that same year on the death of
     Hostilian. They ruled jointly until their murders in 253. The
     obverse of this type depicts the radiate, draped, and cuirassed
     bust of Volusian facing right, with legends
     IMP.C.C.VIB.VOLVSIANVS.AVG. Four pellets appear beneath the bust.
     The reverse features Victory running left, holding wreath and
     palm, with legends VICTORIA.AVG., and four pellets in the
     exergue. Coin shows porous surfaces, but otherwise grades F/F+,
     with clear devices and legends all around. A very decent example
     of the scarcer silver coinage of Volusian, catalouged as
     RSC-128a. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance
     of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales tax. Visa/MC
     now accepted for purchases over $20. For more ancients, please

     Thanks!

                                  Bidding

         Roman Victory AR Antoninianus of VOLUSIAN (Item #39995047)

                        Current bid          $26.00
                        Bid increment         $1.00
                        Minimum bid          $27.00

Registration required. eBay requires registration in order to bid. Find out

       User ID or E-mail address     Password (forgotten it?)


        Current minimum bid is 27.00
       Your maximum bid.

       Please type only numerals and the decimal point (if
       required). Do not include a dollar sign ('$') or commas
       (',').

       Binding contract.
            Placing a bid is a binding contract in many states. Do
       not bid unless you intend to buy this item at the amount of
       your bid.

       Proxy bidding for all bids
            Please bid the maximum amount you are willing to pay
       for this item. Your maximum amount will be kept secret; eBay
       will bid on your behalf as necessary by increasing your bid
       by the current bid increment up until your maximum is
       reached. This saves you the trouble of having to keep track
       of the auction as it proceeds and prevents you from being
       outbid at the last minute unless your spending limit is
       exceeded. (See an example of proxy bidding). Also, in case
       of a tie for high bidder, earlier bids take precedence. And,
       keep in mind that you cannot reduce your maximum bid at a
       later date. Unless otherwise noted, bids are in U.S.
       dollars.
            If you have bid on this item before, note that your new
       bid must be greater than your previous bid.
