Aurelian AR Antoninianus

Note the sceptered Jupiter on the right handing a sphere to the figure on the left. Guess who is the figure on the left? Aurelian. Aurelian is represented in military attire, wearing a tunic and paludamentum, or military cloak typically reserved for Roman commanders. Jupiter is essentially handing Aurelian imperium, or dominance over the world. He is giving legitimacy to Aurelian's ruler, by offering his divine favor.
