Commentary


Sans argenture. Grand buste vu à mi-corps. Rubans de type 3. Cuirasse ornée de l’égide et surmontée d’une grande tête de Méduse de face. Épaulière décorée très longue. Ptéryges larges. Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. Semble de la plus grande rareté.
Without silver plating. Large bust seen from the mid-body. Type 3 ribbons. Breastplate decorated with the aegis and surmounted by a large head of Medusa facing forward. Very long decorated shoulder guard. Large pteryges. Appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted. Missing from all consulted works. Appears to be of the greatest rarity

Historical background


AURELIAN

(07/270-09/275)

Aurelian was born around 207 in Sirmium. After a brilliant military career, he was proclaimed august at Sirmium after the death of Claudius II and remained sole emperor after the suicide of Quintille. He made the painful decision to abandon Dacia in 271, then attacked Zenobia and Vaballath by seizing Palmyra in 272. Then, he undertook the reconquest of the Gallic Empire and defeated Tetricus at Châlons-sur-Marne. He triumphs in Rome and saves the life of his famous prisoners. He was assassinated when he was preparing a campaign against the Sassanids in order to reconquer Mesopotamia..
