ADVENTVS AVG
silver antoninianus struck in Rome 250 AD; ref.: RIC 11b; RSC 4

This coin was struck to the occasion of emperor's return (adventus) to Rome.

The adventus was a ceremony in ancient Rome, in which an emperor was formally welcomed into a city either during a progress or after a military campaign, often (but not always) Rome. The term is also used to refer to artistic depictions (usually in relief sculpture, including coins) of such ceremonies.[1] Its 'opposite' is the profectio.[2]

For comparable ceremonies in Medieval and Early Modern Europe, sometimes employing consciously 'Roman' iconology, see Royal entry.
