About the Aureus

The aureus was the principal Roman gold denomination, struck from the late Republic through the early fourth century. It typically weighs 7–8 grams and measures 19–21mm. Because gold does not corrode, aurei often survive in exceptional condition compared to silver and bronze issues of the same period.

About the Siscia Mint

Siscia (modern Sisak, Croatia) was a major late Roman mint, operating from the late third century through the late fourth century. It produced large quantities of bronze coinage for the Danube frontier region.
