Rome expanded its empire, but for many years stopped at the
Danube. The inhabitants across the Danube
were skilled at sword making, among other things, so a peaceful relationship
existed for many years with the Romans buying superior swords from the locals. The Austrian
Mint has now finished its three year, six coin silver 20 Euro coin series
commemorating the Romans at the Danube.
On the obverse of each coin is a different Roman emperor or other significant figure, while an image
honoring the location appears on the reverse.
The coins are:
Reverse, Virunum; Obverse, Claudius
Reverse, Vindobona; Obverse, Marcus Aurilius
Reverse, Carnuntum, Obverse, Septimus Severus
Reverse, Aguntum; Obverse, Constantius II
Reverse, Lauriacum; Obverse Saint Florian
Reverse, Brigantium; Obverse, Valentinian
