ambr0zie Posted September 20, 2023 · Member Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) 18 mm, 3.01 g. Caracalla as Caesar. 196-198. AR denarius. Rome. 197 AD. M AVR ANTON CAES PONTIF, bust of Caracalla, bare-headed, draped, right / PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS, Caracalla, in military attire, standing left, holding baton in right hand and spear in left hand; to right, trophy. RIC IV Caracalla 13A (denarius). This was incorrectly described and sold as a Geta denarius, which is the very similar RIC 18, from 202-203, with the same reverse but with obverse P SEPT GETA CAES PONT. I was a after a Geta denarius. The auction house didn't pay attention, the small flan didn't help and I just bought it, happy for getting a Geta. But another collector correctly pointed that the visible remains of the obverse legend in the left indicate ANTON ----so M AVR ANTON CAES PONTIF = Caracalla.

Ryro Posted September 23, 2023 · Supporter Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) T. Carisius Silver Denarius. Rome, 46 BC. 3,54 g // 20 mm Obv: Head of Roma r., wearing ornate crested helmet. Rev: Sceptre, cornucopia on globe, and rudder; all within laurel wreath. Crawford 464/3a; RBW 1615; RSC Carisia 4.VF "The obverse of this denarius recalls the first coins of the Republic with the helmeted head of Rome. The reverse exalts Rome's dominance on land and sea and perhaps also recalls Caesar's quadruple triumph over his enemies. The scepter represents the land power of the armies, the rudder the sea power of the fleet. The cornucopia placed on the globe symbolizes universal happiness and prosperity. History: The monetary college of 46 BC includes three monetary: Manius Cordus Rufus, Titus Carisius and Caius Considius Pوtus. Titus Carisius exalts Caesar's origins in his monetary iconography and participates in the celebration of Caesar's quadruple triumph that year. Vercingetorix, after having participated in the triumph of the imperator, is strangled at the Mamertine. The career of Titus Carisius is poorly known outside of his monetary triumvirate.

The moneyer’s specific identity and relationship to Cato the Younger (Uticensis) are unknown; he was not that Cato’s father, who died no later than 91 BCE. There is a possibility that he can be identified with M. Porcius the wine-merchant. See Crawford p. 352. The reverse figure is presumably Victoria Virgo, whose shrine was built by Cato Censorius (id., citing Livy). The control-mark of a star is not among the 67 control-marks listed in Crawford Table XXV at pp. 350-351. There is one other example of this control-mark listed in acsearch.
