Gold aureus of Aurelian. Roman, AD 270-75. Minted at Rome, Italy. D: 20 mm. CM 1964,1203.140 - For a brief five-year period, Aurelian returned stability and unity to the Roman empire. This beautiful gold piece is a perfect symbol of Aurelian's rejuvenated empire - made of pure gold and of full weight. It is unlike the debased and light gold coins made by his beleaguered predecessor, Gallienus (AD 253-68).
