Marcus Aurelius Numerianus succeeded his father Caro as colleague of his brother Carinus, but he pre-died at Nicomedia in 284 A D in unclear circumstances. Our small but very nice and rare tetradrachm shows us a pleasant military portrait on the obverse, during his last months of life, while on the reverse is a pretty and auspicious Eirene (=Peace) but it was him little propitious.
