Product Overview
This collection chronicles one of the most volatile and fascinating times of the Western world with 20 bronze coins dating from the reigns of 20 different Roman emperors between the years 253 to 395 CE. The coins are exceptionally well preserved, especially when considering they range from the "newest" coin being more than 1,620 years old, and the oldest coins dating back more than 1,760 years. Every coin is guaranteed to be a genuine original coin from ancient Rome, and the collection comes with a certificate of authenticity. The collection comes beautifully presented in custom mahogany finish display case suitable for presentation. To learn more about all of the emperors included, a 240 page book called “Chronicles of the Roman Emperors” is also included.
This collection starts with the last barracks (or soldier) emperor, Gallienus. A barracks emperor was a Roman emperor who seized power by virtue of his command of the army. Barracks emperors were especially common in the period from 235 through 284, during the Crisis of the Third Century.
The Illyrian emperors were a group of Romans from the region of Illyricum, and were raised chiefly from the ranks of the Roman army (barracks emperors). The historical period of the Illyrian emperors begins with Claudius II Gothicus with in 268 and ends in 284 with the rise of Diocletian and the institution of the tetrarchy. This rather short period was very important in the history of the Empire, since it represents the recovery from the crisis of the third century the, a long period of usurpations and military difficulties. All of the Illyrian emperors, who also included Aurelian, and Probus, were trained and able soldiers, and they recovered some of the provinces and positions lost by their predecessors.
By 285 CE the Roman Empire had grown so vast that it was no longer feasible to govern all the provinces from the central seat of Rome. The Emperor Diocletian divided the empire into halves with the Eastern Empire governed out of Byzantium and the Western Empire governed from Rome.
