     Volusian. 251-253 AD. Æ Sestertius (17.92 gm). IMP CAE C VIB
     VOLVSIANO AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen
     from behind / FELICITAS PVBLICA, S-C across field, Felicitas
     standing left leaning on column, holding caduceus and sceptre.
     RIC IV 251a; Cohen 35. VF, brown patina, overall grainy surfaces.
     Scarce! 716301.

     Volusian was the son of Trebonianus Gallus, who was proclaimed
     Emperor after the death of Trajan Decius at Abrittus in battle
     against the Goths. One historian blames the treachery of Gallus
     for the catastrophe, but no evidence supports this. Indeed,
     Gallus and his son seem to have been of a mild, civilian
     disposition, ill-suited to an age of rising military anarchy.
     After a brief 18-month reign studded with catastrophes, Gallus
     and Volusian met their end at the hands of their own soldiers,
     who viewed the usurper Aemilian as a more formidable character.

     Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege
