Roman Silver Denarius of Severus Alexander (AD 222–235) – NGC Certified AU

Step back into the twilight of the Roman Empire with this Silver Denarius of Emperor Severus Alexander, struck between AD 222–235. Graded About Uncirculated (AU) by NGC Ancients, this coin offers remarkable preservation for a piece that circulated nearly 1,800 years ago.

Historical Significance

Severus Alexander, the last emperor of the Severan dynasty, ruled during a period of political intrigue and external pressures that foreshadowed the empire’s 3rd-century crisis. His reign marked an attempt to restore stability after the tumultuous rule of Elagabalus, and his assassination in AD 235 ushered in decades of military anarchy. Owning this coin is like holding a fragment of that pivotal transition in Roman history.
