ambr0zie Posted March 3 · Member Share Posted March 3 I bought this as I thought it was a legend error (this would have been pretty interesting for an Alexandrian 1st century) but this is most likely a die clash, the result being a doubled first letter on Poppaea's name. 26 mm, 11,13 g.

Benefactor DonnaML Posted March 5 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted March 5 I am reasonably certain that that's a compass dot on the reverse of this coin between the O and the B, not a punctuation mark, given that "OB" is a single word.

Benefactor DonnaML Posted March 8 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted March 8 Balbinus AR Denarius, April-June 238 AD, Rome mint. Obv. Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, IMP C D CAEL BALBINVS AVG / Rev. Bearded Genius of the Senate, togate, standing front, head left, holding olive branch in extended right hand, and short transverse scepter in left hand, PM TRP COS II PP. RIC IV-2 5, RSC III 20, Sear RCV III 8489 (ill.). 20 mm., 2.65 g. (Purchased from Kirk Davis April 2020; ex: Kirk Davis, Cat # 74, Fall 2019, Lot 83.)* *[Footnote applicable to both this coin and a similar reverse type of Pupienus.] The standing figure on the reverse was traditionally believed to be the Emperor himself, holding a parazonium (a short triangular sword typically found on coins depicting Virtus) in his left hand. That view is still reflected in OCRE (based on RIC) and at the British Museum website (based on BMCRE), as well as in the descriptions of all the coins of this type I found [as of early 2021] that have been sold since 2003, listed on acsearch. However, as Curtis L. Clay explained in a Coin Talk comment at https://www.cointalk.com/threads/balbinus-denarius.358987/#post-4410967, in discussing a Balbinus example, the reverse “shows not the emperor on the reverse, but the Genius of the Senate, so his attribute has to be a short scepter, not a sword! A pity that the [British Museum] website perpetuates this old error (Genius misdescribed as emperor). The correction was made by [Andreas] Alföldi in his "Insignien und Tracht der römischen Kaiser" (Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, 1935)] . . ., followed by many others since then, including a recent article by R. Ziegler. On coins of Antoninus Pius, for example, the same togate figure is labeled GENIO SENATVS. His beard and bushy hairstyle on [the Balbinus] coin are exactly as required for the Genius, and exclude Balbinus. No surprise that the Genius of the Senate reappears on the coins of Balbinus and Pupienus, since they were senators themselves and were chosen to be emperors by the Senate.” Note that Sear equivocates, describing the reverse figure on both coins as either the Emperor or “the Genius of the Senate.” See Sear RCV III 8489 & 8528 (published in 2005). Next, a denarius of Gordian III. (An easy one: it doesn't have to be from AD 238!) 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
