Balbinus (AD 238), Silver Denarius, 3.2g. Balbinus (AD 238), Silver Denarius, 3.2g. Mint of Rome. IMP C D CAEL BALBINVS AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust facing right. Rev.

Boldly struck on both sides on a wide flan, nicely toned, superb extremely fine. A splendid example of this rare issue. After the death of the Gordiani, the Senate nominated two of their own, Balbinus and Pupienus, as joint emperors to oppose Maximinus I who was then quickly marching towards Italy at the head of his legions from the Balkans. Pupienus had risen through the ranks of the military before becoming a senator and was thus the natural choice to lead the defense in northern Italy, while Balbinus stayed behind in Rome to shore up support there. When Maximinus’ troops arrived before Aquileia, lack of provisions caused them to mutiny. They murdered the emperor and his son and paraded their disembodied heads on lances which they carried to Rome. Although Maximinus was now out of the way, the city of Rome remained in a state of turmoil. The joint emperors, being wealthy patricians, were not well liked by the inhabitants who forced the Senate to nominate as Caesar the grandson and nephew of the Gordiani, Gordian III. Despite this attempt at appeasement, however, the people were in open revolt. Fire had been set to the city, causing much devastation and making many homeless. To make matters worse, the co-emperors were mutually suspicious of one another. In the ensuing disorder, the Praetorian Guard broke into the palace and murdered both emperors, elevating the young Gordian III as the new emperor.

One of the first Roman emperors to hail from Illyricum, Decius was an able administrator and senator who had held several high commands under his predecessors, including the consulship in AD 232. Under Philip I he was sent to quell the revolt of the usurper Pacatian, and after doing so allowed his troops to proclaim him emperor. This led to an engagement against Philip near Verona, where the latter was killed. The Senate in Rome subsequently recognized Decius’s acclamation by his troops, and further bestowed upon him the name Traianus in reference to his predecessor of the same name, who was regarded as the best and greatest of all Roman emperors. Both Decius and his son and co-ruler, Herennius Etruscus, were killed while valiantly fighting the Goths, and his general Trebonianus Gallus assumed the emperorship after their deaths.
