NGC (AU) Roman AR Denarius Elagabalus AD 218 222 NGC Certified Ancient Coin
NGC (AU) Roman Denarius of Elagabalus (AD 218 – 222). Assuming the throne at the tender age of 14, after a palace coup, Elagabalus was anything but the innocent child. Uninterested in the military or affairs of state, the young emperor made use of his imperial godhead to, as Edward Gibbon put it, abandon himself to the grossest pleasures and ungoverned fury. The stereotype of the decadent Roman orgy derives from the court of Elagabalus, also called Heliogabalus, who was assassinated at the age of 18. Beautiful Higher Grade Coin (AU) Almost Uncirculated.

NGC (AU) Roman AR Denarius Severus Alexander AD222 -235 NGC Ancients Certified
NGC (AU) Roman AR Denarius Severus Alexander AD222 -235 NGC Certified Ancient. Cleaning up the decadent mess left behind by his cousin Elagabalus, Severus Alexander was as kindly as he was effective. The 13 years of his reign were marked by general peace and prosperity. He checked the Sassanids in the East, and manipulated the Germanic tribes through diplomacy and bribery. None of this prevented him from being assassinated, however, and the lack of a viable heir plunged Rome into the so-called Crisis of the Third Century, a 50-year period of intense chaos and upheaval.
