Magnentius Usurper 350-353AD Rare Authentic Ancient Roman Coin...

Description:

We included the “allegedly” qualifier when mentioning the cost because several reviews claim that this listing is way off the mark, with one review even going as far as to say that it would not go for more than $50. With that in mind, take this listing with a grain of salt.

Nevertheless, Magnentius (the man depicted on the coin) was, in fact, a real person in Roman history. He was what was known as a Usurper, which means he essentially tried to assume control of the Roman Empire by force. That didn’t go so well for poor Magnentius, who only lasted as Usurper from 350 until his death in 353 A.D.

1000 IT 5AD Authentic Ancient Roman MAN & WOMAN EMBRACING coin Good

Description:

Whoa there! The depiction on this coin is a just little bit steamy, so keep out of reach of children. Let’s just say that the “embracing” part isn’t quite as wholesome as a simple hug.

Interestingly enough, this “coin” is made out of terracotta clay and is actually part of an oil lamp. It turns out that lamps were commonly designed this way in ancient Roman times.

This coin has a grade rating of Good provided by the seller, and it also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity.
