| Please add updates or make corrections to the NumisWiki text version as appropriate. MARIUS A.D.268
MARIUS (Marcus Aurelius), also called Marnurius and Vecturius, a blacksmith to trade, having joined the Roman army rose through the ranks to the position of General. After the death of Postumus, and with the help of the Gallic legions, he proclaimed himself emperor (c.A.D.267 - 268). He was a bold and active man, conspicuous for the strength he had in the use of his hands and fingers. According to Pollio he reigned only three days before being murdered, his assailant armed with a sword which Marius himself had manufactured. The mode of his death may be authentic, but that Marius' reign should have been so short is not credible given the abundance of coins struck with his name and portrait. His gold coins are exceedingly rare but his base silver or bronze antoniniani are much less so. He is commonly styled IMP C M AVR MARIVS P F AVG, IMP C MARIVS P F AVG or IMP C M AVR MARIVS AVG.
