 Carus A.D.282-283 AE Bronze Antoninianus, Sear 3409.

 Coin is very scarce to rare. List price exceeds $85.00.

 MARCVS AVRELIVS CARVS was probably born at Narbo in 229. He became Praetorian Praefect under Probus in 276, and when Probus was murdered in
 August, 282 he became Augustus. He was a very capable but imperious ruler. He elevated his sons Carinus and Numerian to Caesars and quickly
 settled disturbances in Gaul and Illyricum. Leaving Carinus at Rome, in early 283 he and Numerian set out on a Sassanian campaign, which was
 extremely successful and during which he raised his sons to Augusti. In August, 283 he died of a mysterious cause (murdered, struck by lightning,
 or illness) near Ctesiphon.

 Obv: IMP.C.M.AVR.CARVS P.F.AVG. Rad. bust right.
 Rev: VIRTVS AVGGG. Carus receiving Victory on globe from Jupiter.
