CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 04/30/2026 09:48 am NGC - Coin of the Day: For Throwback Thursday, here is a gold aureus issued under Roman Emperor Diocletian (AD 284-305). On this day in 303, the Diocletian persecution of Christians ended. The days of Jupiter appearing on coins like this one were drawing to a close.
