Aurelian\'s full name was Lucius Domitius Aurelianus but most mints stopped using DOM on coin legends very early in Aurelian\'s reign. Some mints never used it. Other historians have argued that the DOM inscription was not a reference to Aurelian\'s name but an early use of the title \"Dominus\" (master/lord) that would come into full force during the so called \"Dominate\" or Tetrarchy period. Some surface roughness, struck on a slightly ragged flan (not unusual from early issues).PoliciesI apply the highest ethical standards in selling ancient coins.
