Roman Coin of Aurelian: 270-275 AD

DESCRIPTION:

Bronze coin of Roman Emperor Aurelian (AD270-275). On Dec. 25, AD274, the solstice, he proclaimed a new pagan holiday. Amid the celebration, under cloak of secrecy, Christians elected to celebrate birth of Jesus on that day, and ever since.

In all ancient civilizations, the winter solstice, the start of the lengthening of daylight, was traditionally a time of celebration. In early Roman times, solstice celebrations honored pagan gods Saturnus (harvest) and Mithras (light) -- a form of sun worship that had come to Rome from Syria with the cult of Sol Invictus. The winter solstice of 274 AD fell on the 25th of December. The Roman Emperor Aurelian (270-275AD) has been known since as the Father of Christmas. On that day, Aurelian proclaimed a new holiday: Natalis Soli Invicti, the festival of the birth of the invincible sun.

It was dangerous to be Christian in 3rd century Rome. Worshiping Jesus and celebrating His birth were discouraged. To avoid detection it became a custom for early Christians to celebrate His birth on December 25th, coinciding with the pagan festivities. So, the celebration of the rebirth of the sun was to become the celebration of the birth of the Son. It was not until 325 AD when the Christian Emperor Constantine I, officially sanctioned the holiday of Christmas, to be celebrated openly on December 25th of each year.

The Coinage of Aurelian:

In 270 AD when Emperor Aurelian came to power, the Roman Empire was enduring hard times. Power struggles and war resulted in a shortage of silver coins. Aurelian was able to restore the Empire and reform the coinage, but not the coins silver content. His coins were mostly bronze, heavier than its predecessor, better made but only contained 4% silver. Historians debate the official names that were given to the late Roman coinage. Todays numismatists describe these coins by any of several names: Aurelianus, Antoninianus, or post-reform radiate.
