Silver Coins of Aemilian

RIC Group I (This is Aemilian's second/last issue)

1	IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG  Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed  r.
	APOL CONSERVAT Apollo stg. l., holding branch, resting l. elbow on lyre

2b var unlisted	IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG  Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed  r.	RIC only lists coins with DIANAE VICTRI, though it does mention a coin with "DIANE (sic) VICTRI" in Berlin.  I suspect that the Berlin coin is actually the same type/dies as mine but without the reverse's final two letters showing.
	DIANE VICTRICI

2b	IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG  Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed  r.	Same as above, but this is the listed variety.  This portrait looks a bit like Gallus; there is a wide variety of portraits for this emperor as you can see by the coins I have here.
	DIANAE VICTRI

3b	IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG  Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed  r.	I really like the coins of Aemilian: you can't be much more manly than Hercules the Victor.  Trebonianus' coins were distinctly non-military, showing the emperor as pious, virtuous, fair and peaceful.  Trebonianus' weakness was that he had placated the Goths with tribute so that he could consolidate his position in Rome.   In contrast, Aemilian's image was built purely on his military prowess (driving the Goths from Moesia) and coins like this one show his form of propaganda.
	ERCUL VICTORI  Hercules stg. r., resting r. hand on club and holding bow.  Lion skin on l. arm.

4	IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG  Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed  r.
	IOVI CONSERVAT Jupiter stg. l., extending r. hand holding thunderbolts over Aemilian

8	IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG  Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed  r.
	PACI AVG  Pax std. l., holding branch and transverse sceptre, with legs crossed, leaning on a column

9	IMP AEMILIANVS PIVS FEL AVG  Bust radiate, draped, cuirassed  r.	Eternal Rome:  Rome had celebrated it's 1000th anniversary in 248, but  just five years later the empire wasn't look so certain.  In 251 for the first time, an emperor lost his life in battle and immediately a second emperor was killed in the same battle, Herennius and Decius.  Then followed a plague that was killing 5000 people per day in the city of Rome.  With this coin, Aemilian reminds his subjects that Rome had stood for a millennium, there was nothing like it in history and the empire would overcome present troubles.
	ROMAE AETERN  Roma stg. l., holding Phoenix on globeand spear.  Shield at her right side
