Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. Pour David Sear, il y aurait deux émissions d’antoniniens, la première avec IMP CAES M CLOD PVPIENVS AVG et la seconde avec IMP CAES PVPIEN MAXIMVS AVG. Pour Pupien, la première légende semble plus rare.

Historical background


PUPIENUS

(02-04/05/238)

Pupien is proclaimed emperor at the same time as Balbin. After Maximin's death, he returned to Rome. A certain discord settles between the two co-emperors. According to the new chronology set up by A. Chastagnol and M. Christol, they are finally both assassinated by the Praetorians between the end of April and the beginning of May.
