                                Description

     Late in his reign Aurelian (270-275) "restored" the coinage as
     well as he could, and that included the issue of a few (for
     ceremonial purposes?) of the old fashioned coppers that hadn't
     been seen for several years. After he died there was a period of
     about six months called the "interregnum" ("between the kings"-a
     bit of a misnomer for Rome), but I wonder if many of the coins we
     see of his wife, and widow - Severina might fit in this period...
     Could she have ruled the empire for a few months as "Augusta"?
     This Bronze As gives us no real clue - it shows her simply as
     "SEVERINA AVG". The Reverse: "IVNO REGINA SC" shows Juno
     standing, a peacock at her feet. I grade this a nice Very Fine
     over Fine; the reverse only has been "helped", that is,
     "smoothed". The obverse is very sharp and only a little porous.
     NICE!! (OK, if you must, go ahead - See the photo!)...Special
     Note to bidders: This lot is part of a very large collection of
     Roman Copper and bronze coins we have just aquired. This
     collection is full of rare and interesting types in collectable
     grades. Note that inscriptions given in parentheses "( )" are not
     legible on the coin but are known from other coins. "RIC" refers
     to: "Roman Imperial Coins". Be sure to note our other offerings.
     They are coded "CC" (for Coast to Coast) in the title. ....And be
     sure to check out our web site at: www.coastcoin.com ....Terms of
     Sale: We accept payment by check, money order, or Visa,
     Mastercard or Discover card. Credit card orders will be shipped
     to the card's billing address only. Our domestic postage rate is
     $4.00 per lot. International rates UPS exact; only to qualifying
     countries. Maryland residents please add 5% sales tax on sales of
