                                Description

     Here is a very nice Antoninianus of a scare Emperor who only
     ruled ruled 2 months before being murdered!

     You will not see alot of Florian coins on Ebay.
     Coin looks better than the scan.

     24mm
     Some silvering, green patina
     ObvLegd: IMP C M ANN FLORIANVS AVG
     ObvType: Bust rad. dr. r.
     RevLegd: PROVIDEN DEOR
     RevType: Providentia stg. l., holding two ensigns, facing Sol
     stg. r., holding globe

     Florianus became emperor by claiming the throne after the death
     of his half-brother Tacitus, who had been emperor before him.
     Unfortunately, he inherited a dangerous political situation when
     he did this. Maximinus, another relative of Tacitus who had been
     governor of Syria under the late emperor had inflamed the Syrians
     to the point of rebellion by his harshness. The soldiers in Syria
     elevated their commander, Probus, to the imperial purple.
     Florianus thought to make short work of the rebels by defeating
     them with his much larger force. This was not to be, however.
     Probus simply decided to delay the battle. In the hot Syrian sun,
     the morale of Florianus' troops sunk lower and lower. Agents of
     Probus secretly sowed the seeds of discord amongst the troops and
     a group of conspirators murdered Florianus after a reign of only
     two months.

     Shipping is $2

If you're the seller or the high bidder - now what?

  1. Contact each other. The seller (oldcoinman) and the high bidder
     (104243.3367@compuserve.com) should contact each other within three
     business days to discuss payment and shipping details.

  2. Leave feedback for the other party once the the seller has received
     the payment and the winning bidder has received the item.
     Leave feedback to seller - Leave feedback to bidder.

Details for the seller and high bidder(s):
The seller should contact the winning bidder(s) with information on the
total cost, including shipping, and where to send payment. The winning
bidder(s) must pay the seller directly for the item(s), and it is the
seller's responsibility to fulfill the order when payment terms are met.
The binding contract of the auction is between the winning bidder and the
seller.

If the seller is unable to establish contact with the high bidder within 3
business days, the seller may contact the next highest bidder. Therefore,
if the high bidder does not contact the seller within 3 business days of
the end of the auction, he/she may lose the place as winning bidder, and be
at risk for receiving negative feedback and/or a Non-Paying Bidder warning,
both of which can ultimately lead to suspension from eBay.
