Item Details
Description
Alexandria, Egypt, Palmyrene, ca. 270 CE. A unique coin from the period when the Palmyrene seccesionist movement away from the Roman Empire was in full bloom.

Zenobia struck a treaty with Aurelian to put her son in power in this region of the middle east. The treaty was short-lived and both mother and son were defeated. Size: 2cm in diameter, 3.4 grams.
