Lot 2539		Vespasian, AD 69-79. AR Denarius minted at Ephesus, AD 69-70. Laureate head right of Vespasian. Reverse: Turreted and draped female bust right; below, mint monogram. RIC 1407 [as Rare]; RPC 813. Very well detailed; Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2540		Vespasian, AD 69-79. AR Denarius minted at Ephesus, AD 71. Laureate head right of Vespasian. Reverse: Turreted and draped female bust right; below, EPE (mintmark). RIC 1433; RPC 835. Portrait of Vespasian in high relief; reverse is from a well-delineated, fresh die. Extremely Fine. Notice the light circle scribed on the die to better align the bottom of the letter punches. Since this line was so shallow, it tended to disappear with die use, as well as with coin wear. Estimated Value $750 - 850. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2541		Vespasian, AD 69-79. AE Sestertius minted at Lugdunum, AD 71. Laureate head right of Vespasian; globe at point of neck. Reverse: Palm tree; to left, Vespasian standing right, holding spear and parazonium; foot on helmet; to right, seated personification of Judaea. RIC 1134 [as Rare]. Excellent detail for the grade. Very Fine. Since the celator didn't allow quite enough spacing for the final "I" of "COS III", the Roman numeral filled the area reserved for the globe (mintmark of Lugdunum), so a globe (pellet) was inserted in the field. It didn't work, therefore, another point was scribed in the die. Evidently, it was okayed by the master of the mint. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,760
Lot 2542		Vespasian, AD 69-79. AR Denarius minted posthumously at Rome by Titus, AD 80-81. Laureate head right of the deified Vespasian. Reverse: Victory advancing left, placing shield on trophy; at base, captive. RIC (Titus) 364. Fabulous portrait with underlying luster; Superb Extremely Fine. Since the captive is so small (male or female?) and the coin's minting date is so late, numismatists are not certain which of Vespasian's victories this coin commemorates. In any event, it is a jewel of a first century denarius. Estimated Value $700 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,875
Lot 2543		Titus, AD 79-81. AE Dupondius minted at Rome as Caesar by Vespasian, c. AD 76. Radiate head right of Titus. Reverse: Felicitas standing left, holding caduceus and cornucopiae.

Lot 2546		Domitian, AD 81-96. Gold Aureus (7.16 g) minted at Rome as Caesar by Vespasian, AD 73. Laureate head right of Domitian. Reverse: Domitian on horse left; right hand raised, scepter in left hand. RIC (Vespasian) 540 [as Rare]; BMC 123; C. 663. Luster in obv. field; large diameter flan. Choice Very Fine or better. The method of production of hammer-struck coins dictates one die be on the top, the other on the bottom. The normal manner in which this was accomplished was to have the obverse be the bottom die, creating a convexity to the flan. This coin demonstrates a concavity, or dishlike appearance, on the obverse, made by the obverse die being in the upper position. Thus, the two dies were interchanged for this particular coin pairing. Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2547		Domitian, AD 81-96. Gold Aureus (7.21 g) minted at Rome as Caesar by Vespasian, AD 75. Laureate head right of Domitian. Reverse: Spes standing left holding flower.

Reverse: Helmeted horseman galloping right; right hand raised behind. RIC (Vesp.) 957. Small edge cut at 9:30 o'clock on reverse; an uncommon type. Choice Very Fine.

Reverse: Trajan in quadriga right, holding short scepter and laurel-branch. RIC 139 var. (no drapery); C. 94. Very rare reverse type. Nearly Extremely Fine. While RIC rates this reverse representation as "Scarce", it has been our experience that this beautifully composed type hardly ever presents itself. Estimated Value $800 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 2553		Trajan, AD 98-117. AE Sestertius minted at Rome, c. AD 112-114. Laureate and draped bust right of Trajan. Reverse: Female personification reclining left, holding wheel and branch. RIC 636 [as Scarce]; Cayon 326. Somewhat smoothed. Possesses a beautiful, glossy green and brown patina on the obverse, even jade-green wholly on the reverse. Wonderfully detailed, Extremely Fine. This reverse commemorates the finishing of the VIA TRAIANA, the roadway which went from Beneventum to Brundisium. Built at Trajan's personal expense, it was over 200 miles in length and connected towns on the heel of Italy's boot along the Adriatic Sea, winding northward. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.

Reverse: Virtus standing right, holding spear and parazonium; left foot on helmet. RIC 605; BMC 1240; C. 1470. A fantastic example of this denomination; glossy dark green patina. Superb Extremely Fine. The chief distinction of the dupondius is the radiate crown and its metallic composition. Akin to the sestertii of the period, the dupondii were also struck in orichalcum, a kind of brass. When minted, both denominations were of a bright golden-yellow color and must have dazzled their owners. Nearly two thousand years of resting in the soil created a visually different "look" to these survivors of the greatness that was Rome. Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.

Carinus first issued coins in late AD 282 or early AD 283 (accounts vary) while Caesar, or prince, under his father Carus. About a year later, Carinus was elevated to Augustus, or emperor.

Trau auction (22 V 35), lot 3221 for a similar specimen from the same dies. Tooled to remove encrustations. Details of Extremely Fine. Whether it's termed a medallion, medaille, medaglione or simply medal, the entire class is rare. The Three Monetae grace the most common reverse type of medallions struck in the AD third century, with each of the mint's special goddesses being in charge of coinage in one of the metals used — bronze, silver and gold. Like contemporary medals, often there was no real relationship to the regular coinage denominations. We believe Roman medallions were struck for notable mint visitations and gifts for special services rendered (such as to provincial rulers and victorious generals). There are a number of coins which have an outstanding artistic quality inherent in medallions. This rare class of coins is sometimes termed "pseudo-medallions," and often exhibit larger than normal flans with wonderful detailing and modeling. There were artistic culminations in Roman mint products; in the series of medallions, Antoninus Pius and Hadrian minted some of the most beautiful, with Commodus striking a great diversity and perhaps the largest total number of these masterworks from ancient Rome.

Around AD 293 or a little later, Diocletian overhauled the interrelationship of denominations by introducing a new silver denarius called the argenteus and the silver-washed bronze follis. There were other alterations, one of the most far-reaching being the addition of mintmarks placed in the exergue, and control letters or issue marks in the field. Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
