480 coin types catalogued

Aurelian (AD 270 to 275) reunited the Roman Empire by reconquering the breakaway Gallic and Palmyrene empires. He built the Aurelian Walls around Rome and reformed the debased coinage, introducing the 'XXI' mark indicating a fixed silver content. His coins reflect this monetary reform and are historically significant.
