Sadly there’s not much options when it comes to my 2 favourite emperors Caligula/Claudius in the affordable range in imperial silver. So I like to have a deep collection of their bronzes along with the Agrippa/Germanicus issues which I really like. Also on the look out for British imitations but no luck so far 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prieure de Sion Posted July 10 · Member Share Posted July 10 I love the this "spanish style" of Roman Bronze coins. I once had a very nice Caligula bronze from Caesaraugusta - now it has become a Tiberius. This dupondius from Caesaraugusta was issued in honour of the legions Legio IV Macedonica, Legio VI Hispaniensis (later surnamed Victrix under Nero) and Legio X Gemina. Veterans of IV Macedonica, VI Hispaniensis and X Gemina were among the first settlers in the Colonia Caesaraugusta (Saragossa) around 15 BC. At this time, the legions were deployed for extensive road and bridge construction work on the Via Augusta. The Muel Dam was also built by the legion. Legio IV Macedonica was a legion of the Roman army that was formed in 48 BC by Gaius Iulius Caesar with Italian legionaries. It was disbanded by Emperor Vespasian in 70 AD. The legion's symbols were the bull and the capricorn (mythological figure: half ibex, half fish). In the summer of 44 BC, the legion was moved to Italy by Marcus Antonius. Legio IIII Macedonica joined Caesar's adopted son Octavian in 44 BC and initially fought with him on the side of the Senate in the Battle of Mutina during the Mutinian War against Marcus Antonius, then after the formation of the Second Triumvirate in 42 BC against Caesar's murderers in the Battles of Philippi. Octavian moved the legion back to Italy and deployed it in the winter of 41/40 BC in the Perusine War against Marcus Antonius' brother Lucius Antonius and finally again against Antonius in the naval battle of Actium in 31 BC. Octavian moved the legion to the Tarraconensis in 30 BC to take part in the Cantabrian War against the Cantabrians and Asturians. After Augustus' victory in 13 BC, the legion remained in the province and was stationed at Herrera de Pisuerga. The legionaries were also widely deployed in the civil administration of Iberia. Legio VI Hispaniensis (later Victrix) was a legion of the Roman army that was raised by Octavian in 41 BC and existed until the early 5th century. The legion's emblem was probably a bull. It was a copy of the Legio VI Ferrata that served under Marcus Antonius and probably consisted in part of veterans of this legion, some of whom upheld the traditions of the Caesarian Ferrata. Legio VI had its first mission in Perusia in the same year and also fought in Sicily against Sextus Pompeius, who was disrupting Rome's grain supply from there. In 31 BC, she fought in the battle of Actium against Marcus Antonius. The following year it was stationed in Hispania Tarraconensis, where it took part in Augustus' Cantabrian War against the Cantabrians, which lasted from 29 BC to 19 BC. The legions VI Victrix and X Gemina were initially stationed together in an unknown camp in Asturias. Legio VI was later presumably transferred to León, while X Gemina was stationed in Petavonium (Rosinos de Vidriales). The name Victrix dates from the time of Nero. Legio X was a legion of the Roman army. Because Caesar once gave the X Legion horses and used them as cavalry, as he did not trust the allied Gallic horsemen, it was also called Legio X Equestris ("tenth mounted legion"). Augustus renamed the legion Legio X Gemina ("tenth twin legion"). The legion's symbol was a bull. Legio X was first mentioned in 58 BC, when the Roman province of Gallia Narbonensis was threatened by the Helvetii. Initially, Gaius Iulius Caesar could only rely on this single legion, which was stationed near Geneva. In the Gallic War, Legio X Equestris played an important role in Caesar's military success; he himself described it as his favourite legion. After Caesar's assassination, the legion was reorganised by Lepidus in the winter of 44/43 BC and assigned to the army of Marcus Antonius. It fought for the triumvirs Augustus, Lepidus and Marcus Antonius in the Battle of Philippi against Caesar's murderers in 42 BC. The newly formed Legio X Gemina was stationed in Hispania Tarraconensis, where Augustus was preparing a campaign against the Cantabrians. It took part in the Cantabrian War from 29 BC to 19 BC. The magistrate Marcus Porcius Cato mentioned here was a member of the gens Porcia and probably a descendant of the famous advocate of the republican state Marcus Porcius Cato the Younger, the fierce opponent of Gaius Iulius Caesar, who committed suicide in Utica in 46 BC. In 27 BC Marcus Porcius Cato was praetor and in the following year took part in the plot instigated by Lucius Aelius Seianus against the Roman knight Titius Sabinus, a supporter of Germanicus whom he hated. In addition to Cato, the praetors Lucius Lucanius Latiaris, Petillius Rufus and Marcus Opsius were also involved in the plot. Sabinus was then executed by order of Tiberius. The conspirators had misled Sabinus into making careless remarks about Tiberius and then denounced him in order to ingratiate themselves with the emperor and be rewarded with the consulship. While Lucanius and Opsius did not achieve their goal but were executed as supporters of Seian, Cato became suffect consul for the last part of the year 36 AD. He attained the office of curator aquarum for another month in 38 AD, but was then presumably also executed. About the magistrate Lucius Vettiacus I didn’t find any informations.

ewomack Posted July 18 · Supporter Share Posted July 18 I have not pressed the "purchase" button on another coin at this time, so no new coins are on their way to me (which is usually the case when I post here). Given that, this Justinian II Follis from the rambunctious 8th century still remains my latest ancient. This one is pretty rough, and I deliberated about buying it for a long time. What remains of the portrait of Justinian II on the left eventually made me take the leap. It looks much better in hand, though its flaws become very obvious when magnified. In the end, it was affordable and extended my Byzantine pile from Anastasius I up to the second reign of Justinian II, or from 491 to 711. For those who don't know the story of Justinian II, it's a fascinating one. He ruled from 685 to 695, was overthrown, had his nose slit, then plotted revenge, returned to Constantinople through a water pipe, and retook the throne in 705. Supposedly he wore a golden nose over his slit nose when he returned. His obsession with revenge turned into a reign of terror and he was overthrown in 711. This was all part of the "Twenty Years Anarchy" that threw the Byzantine empire into quite a tizzy. Brutal, but fascinating. Justinian II (705-711), second reign, Æ Follis, Constantinople, Obv: Legend obscure, crowned facing busts of Justinian and Tiberius, each wearing chlamys and holding patriarcal cross set on globe inscribed PAX; Rev: Large M, cross above, Γ below, CON in exergue; 19-20mm, 3.81g; Berk-806, MIB-43, DO-12c, Sear 1428 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor KenDorney Posted July 18 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted July 18 Buying coins lately is very frustrating for me. Most of what I need has doubled and more over the last year or so. I got zero in the Leu auction (I had given up on them but decided to try once again). So I figured maybe there would be some 'leftovers' available at CNG. Not really, but I did get this one below. It is a true gem in the rough. Only superficially cleaned with a completely original patina (as far as I can tell), no smoothing or tooling. These are getting hard to find these days, and honestly I think its worth twice what I paid: WON Purchased $600 Bids: 17 TIMED AUCTION Electronic Auction 566 CATEGORY Bronze, Roman Imperial DESCRIPTION Divus Antoninus Pius. Died AD 161. Æ Sestertius (33mm, 29.66 g, 12h). Commemorative issue. Rome mint. Struck under Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, AD 162. DIVVS ΛNTONINVS, bare head right / DIVO PIO, S C across field, column surmounted by statue of Pius holding eagle and scepter. RIC III 1269 (Aurelius); MIR 18, 46-6/10 (Aurelius); Banti 144; Elkins, Monuments Figure 135. Green patina, a patch of red on obverse. VF. Architectural reverse type. Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 475 (26 August 2020), lot 586. The reverse depicts the column of the divine Antoninus Pius, the shaft and base of which survive. The latter, now in the Vatican, employs both classical and traditionally plebeian sculptural styles and marks an artistic transition in imperially sponsored monuments. 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salomons Cat Posted July 24 · Member Share Posted July 24 (edited) I believe I was the first to discover this charming denarius of Elagabalus on vCoins, as it was quite conservatively priced. In hand, it closely matches the photo, with sharp details and attractive toning. Later, when I have more time, I plan to do some research to see if it might qualify as a best-of-type specimen according to my own subjective standards. 🤔 Elagabalus, 219 AD. Denarius, 2.96g.
