When you are used to the tight flans that preceded it a few years earlier that flan seems quite extravagent. Very nice coin.

As an example of the offposite extreme from a few years earlier... Almost enough room on the flan to allow all the letters on the obverse to be represented but not quite...

Aurelian
Obv:- IMP C L DOM AVRELIANVS AVG, Radiate, draped and cuirassedbust right
Rev:- AETERNIT AVG, Sol standing left, with right hand raised and holding globe in left hand.
Minted in Rome. N in right field. October – December A.D. 270.
References:- RIC 20. LaVenera 31-2. RIC temp #1595 (17 examples)

Die clash on reverse.
