Severus Alexander, 222-235 AD

Severus Alexander AR Denarius

Antioch Mint, 222–235 AD
Because nothing says "imperial authority" like a teenage emperor propped up by his mom.

Obverse:
Laureate and draped bust of Severus Alexander right—trying his best to look in charge while Rome spirals. The laurel says “victory,” the eyes say “What’s a legion?”

Reverse:
Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopia, with a handy star tossed in the field—because clearly balance and abundance were everywhere… if you squinted hard enough and ignored the civil unrest, inflation, and looming army betrayal.

Size & Weight: 18mm, 3.06g of silver optimism.

Why Own It?
It’s a tiny, shiny reminder that no amount of symbolism (or mom’s advice) can save an emperor from history. A must-have for anyone who collects collapse with a smile.
