Marcus Aurelius. Gold Aureus (7.12 g), as Caesar, AD 138-161. Rome, under Antoninus Pius, AD 151/2. AVRELIVS CAE-SAR AVG PI IL, bare head of Marcus Aurelius left. Rev. TR POT VI COS II, Roma standing facing, head left, holding Victory and a parazonium. (RIC 452d; BMC 773; Calicó 1942). A wholly exceptional coin in an outstanding state of preservation, perfectly struck in high relief with a wonderful young portrait of Marcus Aurelius. Mint state. Estimate $35,000UP
Ex Spink Numismatic Circular, vol. CVIII/5 (October 2000), lot 4055.
The obverse portrait on this coin is truly spectacular, with every detail of the curls of hair and beard, the eyebrow, and the eye crisp and clear. Because of the exceptional preservation of the eye detail one can follow precisely the gaze of the young emperor. The placement of the pupil indicates that while he looks ahead his gaze is very slightly elevated, perhaps already prefiguring the later "heavenly gaze" of Constantine the Great (AD 306-337). The gaze of Marcus Aurelius here is just what one might expect from the philosopher emperor while still serving as Caesar to Antoninus Pius. Aurelius is full of life and energy, ready to take on the enemies of Roma, who appears on the reverse. When this coin was struck the difficulties of the Marcomannic Wars (AD 166-180) and the problem of succession - both of which would test his Stoic beliefs - still lay in the future.

Ex NAC 78 (26 May 2014), lot 1025.
This beautiful and rare coin belongs to the dynastic series issued by Septimius Severus as a sign that after years of civil war, the Empire would again enjoy stability. The succession was made secure by his two sons, Caracalla and Geta, who were trained as his successors and are depicted on the reverse. The legend surrounding their portraits, which refers to "everlasting [Roman] rule" leaves no doubt about Severan dynastic pretensions. Unfortunately, the stability that Severus wished to present was largely a sham as a terrible sibling rivalry existed between Caracalla. Despite their father's best' efforts to heal the rift between the brothers, the gulf only widened over time, and after his death in AD 211 his sons did not last a year sharing power before Caracalla murdered Geta, destroying the dynastic image that Septimius Severus had crafted.

Ex CNG 99 (13 May 2015), lot 504.
Part of a much larger series of Syrian tetradrachms intended primarily to fund Caracalla's disastrous Parthian campaign (AD 216-217), this issue of Aelia Capitolina is notable for its potentially crypto-Jewish mintmark. Although Aelia Capitolina was refounded on the ruins of Jerusalem by Hadrian in an attempt to defile and blot out the holy city of the Jews in ca. AD 132, the thyrsos symbol on this coin may refer to the original deity worshipped in Jerusalem before the city was destroyed and paganized, since the Jewish God was frequently identified by Greeks with Dionysos going back at least to the second century BC. Thus it would seem that even as a pagan center, Aelia Capitolina still retained some memory of its Jewish past.

Discontent with the rule of Maximinus I, who was viewed as a barbarian by Rome's elite and was generally hated otherwise due to heavy taxation to finance his military operations against the Germans and Sarmatians, led to three serious revolts. The first two were ruthlessly suppressed. The third started in Africa, where wealthy landowners revolted against the heavy financial burdens imposed by a corrupt local treasury official who was using false judgments for extortion. The landowners equipped their clients and farmhands with whatever weapons were at hand, slew the offending treasury official and his bodyguard, then proclaimed the aging governor, Marcus Antonius Gordianus Sempronianus, and his son as co-emperors. The Senate in Rome quickly backed the cause of the African landowners, affirming the elevation of Gordian I and Gordian II as co-emperors. Upon hearing the news of the revolt, Maximinus, who was wintering in Sirmium, prepared his armies and marched on Rome.

The reign of the Gordiani was short-lived, lasting at most a mere 36 days. Capellianus, the governor of neighboring Numidia, controlled the only legion in the area and nursed a long-standing grudge against the Gordiani. He assembled his troops, the veteran legio III Augusta, and marched on Carthage where he easily overwhelmed the ragtag forces of the Gordiani. Gordian II was killed in the fighting, and on hearing the news of his son's death and the annihilation of the local levies, the elder Gordian hanged himself.

Ex NAC 84 (20 May 2015), 1120.
Herennia Etruscilla was already the wife of Trajan Decius before he seized the imperial throne in AD 249. Little is known of her life beyond that she bore him two sons, Q. Herennius Decius, who went on to rule alongside his father (AD 250-251), and C. Valens Hostilian, who briefly succeeded them after they were killed in battle against the Visigoths in AD 251. Etruscilla and Hostilian were both carried off by the plague that ravaged Rome later that same year, thereby sparing them the looming civil war with Trebonianus Gallus, whom the army preferred to see as emperor than the heir of Decius. When Gallus reached Rome, the memory of Decius and his entire family, including Herennia Etruscilla, was condemned and their names stricken from monuments. She, her husband, and her sons were avenged two years later, in AD 253, when Gallus was lynched by the soldiery and he too was made to suffer damnatio memoriae.

MONE-T[A] AVG, Moneta standing facing, head left, holding scales and cornucopiae. (RIC 717; RSC 71-3). Rare. Toned. Choice very fine. Estimate $3,500UP
In AD 287, Carausius, a commander of Roman forces in Britain of Gallic descent, raised the banner of revolt and proclaimed himself independent emperor of a Romano-British empire that included the province of Britannia as well as parts of northern Gaul. In order to give himself an air of legitimacy and to maintain the loyalty of his followers, Carausius struck several rare series of good silver denarii - something that had not been struck in the Roman empire since the mid-third century AD. By doing this he gave the impression of greater success and legitimacy than the Tetrarchs Diocletian and Maximianus who wanted to remove him from power. The latter struck billon radiate coins with only a very minimal silver content. Unfortunately for Carausius, while he did manage to briefly raise the intrinsic value of his Romano-British coinage to the shame of his contemporaries in Rome, he was ultimately assassinated by Allectus, his own finance minister, in AD 293.

Maximianus. Gold Aureus (5.57 g), first reign, AD 286-305. Treveri, AD 293/4. MAXIMIA-NVS P F AVG, laureate and cuirassed bust of Maximianus right. Rev. HERCVLI VICTORI, Hercules seated facing, head right, lion's skin draped over legs; at sides, club, quiver and bow; PR. RIC - (but cf. 13 for rev. type) (Calicó 4681.). Rare. Extremely fine. Estimate $15,000UP
Maximianus has been described as the "military brawn" paired with the "political brain" of Diocletian as the two worked together to refashion the Roman Empire into something manageable as endless crises of external invasion, civil war, and economic disaster threatened to overwhelm it. The co-emperors themselves perhaps would have agreed with this description of their relationship since Diocletian associated himself with Jupiter, the wise father of men and gods, while Maximianus was linked to Hercules, son of Jupiter and the image par excellence of heroism. They even went as far as to assume additional names related to these deities, and Maximianus took the title of Herculius. Thus it is no surprise that his coins, such as this beautiful aureus, frequently feature types related to Hercules. Here the victorious hero takes a well-deserved rest after his many tasks, perhaps reflecting Maximianus' own desires. Shortly before this coin was struck in AD 293/4, Diocletian and Maximianus expanded their form of government from a diarchy to a tetrachy, naming Constantius I Chlorus and Galerius as subordinate Caesars.

Estimate $8,000UP
Aelia Pulcheria was the daughter of Arcadius and older sister of Theodosius II. When their father died in AD 408 and the young Theodosius II became the new emperor of the embattled eastern half of the Roman Empire, Pulcheria assumed the role of her brother's protector. When the Senate voted her the title of Augusta (Empress) in AD 414, she used this newfound legitimacy to take over the regency for Theodosius II, which had been managed previously by the praetorian prefects. Pulcheria aimed at being the real power in the Empire and declared her intention to remain a virgin and never marry as a means of avoiding male control. In contrast, her brother was easily dominated, and Pulcheria taught him to be an emperor in keeping with her own image of the office. Under her guidance, Theodosius II successfully warred against the Sasanian Persians in AD 421 and intervened in the Western Roman Empire, placing their nephew, Valentinian III, on the throne in AD 425. Pulcheria even engineered the disgrace and exile of Theodosius'wife, Aelia Eudocia, to remove her competing influence over the emperor. When Theodosius II died unexpectedly in a riding accident in AD 450, Pulcheria took power in her own right. However, her sole reign was very brief as she was finally forced to take the lowborn Marcian as her husbaundated. She died three years later, still Augusta and still a virgin.
