This legend appears on the coins of other emperors, and may be regarded as an invocation, not to a specific deity, but to an entity endowed with divine power, evoking the eternal destiny of the Roman Empire and its beneficent rule over all its inhabitants. A massive (26.9 gram) piece, struck 194 A.D. VF, superb portrait, and RARE, RIC IV 56b (Rare), Sear/RCV 6153 (valued at $1,250 in VF). Decimus Clodius Septimius Albinus came from a wealthy family in North Africa, and later rose to Senator. Clodius was serving as Governor of Britain when Didius Julianus bought the throne of Rome from the Praetorian Guard after the murder of Commodus. Clodius supported Septimius Severus, who rewarded Clodius with the title of Caesar. However, once his rivals to the throne were gone, Severus had to consider his two young sons, and Clodius had no future as Caesar. This motivated him to break with Severus, by being proclaimed Augustus. His rule was cut short when Severus eventually defeated him, and executed Clodius and his family.
