ChengQuan New Member China 34 Posts	Posted 04/15/2026 06:11 am About the Coin: Ruler: Aelia Flaccilla (Empress, died AD 386) Type: RIC IX 61 Obverse: Bust of the Empress, diademed and draped. Legend: AEL FLAC-CILLA AVG. Reverse: The Empress standing, holding a scepter and a globe, with the legend SALVS REIPVBLICAE (Salvation of the State). Mint: Struck at the Antioch mint, as indicated by the "ANT" mintmark in the exergue. Period: Struck circa AD 383-388. Why I Like It: What drew me to this piece is its beautiful, natural dark green and black patina. It has a very "honest" look to it—you can feel the weight of the centuries. The details on the bust are quite sharp for the type, especially considering it's a bronze issue from the later Roman Empire. Holding this coin, I can't help but imagine it circulating through the markets of roma over 1,600 years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
