Military command rested in the hands of his generals, but his presence gave additional weight to the empire’s policy. The Romans were defeated and withdrew to Syria. After heavy losses on both sides, a truce was signed accepting the status quo. In 233, Alexander celebrated a triumph in Rome to commemorate his “victory.” The sestertius was an ancient Roman coin. During the Roman Republic it was a small silver coin (issued only on rare occasions) and during the Roman Empire it was a large bronze coin. The name sestertius is a combination of semis, meaning half, and tres, meaning three, which when combined with an adjectival termination means three with the last equal half resulting in two and a half, the coin's original value in asses. The sestertius is highly valued by numismatists, due to their large size they gave celators (engravers) a large area to produce detailed portraits and reverse types.The images on the Roman Coins give us a lot of information about the Romans and their culture. For example images of sacred and important buildings and temples, show us what their buildings looked like thousands of years ago. Coins were not just money, but propaganda or a means of communicating civic pride. Coins are valuable, durable and pass through many hands. Without newspapers or other mass media, they were an ideal way of spreading a political message.
