Domitian Æ Sestertius. Rome, AD 85. IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XI CENS POT P P, laureate bust of Domitian right wearing aegis / Emperor standing left, holding spear; German captive kneeling right before, presenting shield set amongst various arms; S-C across fields, broken spear in exergue. RIC 357; C. 489; BMC 337; BN 358. 28.40g, 35mm, 6h. Good Very Fine. Rare. An interesting historical type, and relatively well preserved for the issue. Having lived his whole life in the shadow of his father and brother's military victories, and having had none for himself, upon being proclaimed emperor Domitian soon found an opportunity to win glory for himself. Leaving Rome for Gaul in late AD 82-early 83, ostensibly to conduct a census, he unexpectedly launched a campaign against the Chatti in Germania, who had been part of Arminius' coalition of tribes that had annihilated Varus' column in the Teutoberg forest. For this purpose, Domitian raised a new legion, Legio I Minervia. Little information survives of the campaign, though apparently enough early victories were achieved for Domitian to return to Rome in late 83, where he awarded himself a triumph, conferred upon himself the title of Germanicus and struck a series of commemorative coinage depicting his subjugation of the Chatti. Domitian's campaign was viewed most unfavourably by ancient writers, who noted that it was an unprovoked attack and mocked his supposed accomplishments.

ILLUSTRAZIONE: ASSASSINIO DI FILIPPO II DI MACEDONIA

[King John]

Carthaginian Spain, Barcid Dominion AR Dishekel. South-western region of Gadir, circa 237-228 BC. Diademed male head (Hamilcar?) to left, with hanging ties / Prow of galley to right, with rostra, oars, two shields on deck and a wreathed forepost, to which is attached a pennant; seahorse in exergue. MHC, Class II, 14 (same dies); ACIP 542; AB 481. 14.72g, 27mm, 11h.
Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare, and among the finest known examples. 
In 237 BC Hamilcar Barca, after having lost the First Punic War against Rome, but having won the Mercenary War against the Libyans, disembarked at Gadir with a Carthaginian expedition with the purpose of “re-establishing Carthaginian authority in Iberia” (Polybios, Histories, 2.1.6), and within 9 years he had expanded the territory of Carthage well into the Iberian peninsula, securing control of the southern mining district of Baetica and Sierra Morena, before dying in battle in 228. Hamilcar was succeeded by his son-in-law Hasdrubal the Fair who expanded the new province by skilful diplomacy and consolidated it with the foundation of Akra Leuka, Mahon and finally in 227, Qart Hadasht (Latin: Carthago Nova) as his capital. After his untimely death in 221 he was succeeded by Hannibal (247-182), oldest son of Hamilcar Barca, and Hamilcar’s second son Hasdrubal (245-207 BC). The Barcids now wielded control over much of the mineral rich Mediterranean side of the peninsula until 219 when Hannibal made the fateful move of taking and sacking Saguntum, a well established Roman ally. The wholesale slaughter of this Roman ally’s population, and the arrogance with which the Roman ambassadors sent to Carthage to seek redress were met, led directly to the Second Punic War: the great statesman Quintus Fabius, speaking to the Carthaginian senate, gathered a fold of his toga to his chest and held it out, saying “Here, we bring you peace and war. Take which you will.” The Carthaginians replied “Whichever you please - we do not care.” Fabius let the fold drop and proclaimed “We give you war.” 
The obverse of this coinage is popularly believed to depict Hamilcar Barca (or depict his features assimilated into Herakles-Melqart), who had after 247 commanded Carthage’s fleet and army in the Sicilian theatre of the First Punic War. The reverse of this type clearly alludes to the Carthaginian tradition of being a primarily naval power, and probably more specifically, to a renewed strengthening of the fleet, which had been so devasatated in the war - according to Polybius’ estimates, Carthage had lost 500 ships and he commented that the war was, at the time, the most destructive in terms of casualties in the history of warfare, including the battles of Alexander the Great. Yet despite rebuilding their ships, Carthage’s naval supremacy and the confidence to use them aggressively had been broken. Although Hamilcar himself had been an able admiral, after his death Carthaginian commanders (including his sons) appear not to have been sufficiently confident to aggressively challenge the Romans at sea in the Second Punic War, which in contrast to the preceding war, was largely a land-based conflict.

ILLUSTRAZIONE: ASSASSINIO DI FILIPPO II DI MACEDONIA

Nel 336 a. C., nel giorno del matrimonio di sua figlia Cleopatra con Alessandro re dell’Epiro (fratello di Olimpiade e quindi zio della sposa omonimo del Grande), Filippo si presenta in pubblico senza scorta perché, come diceva, solo i tiranni hanno bisogno di scorta armata e sapeva che nessuno, in patria, lo considerava tale.

Il giorno dopo le nozze, mentre Filippo esce senza scorta per inaugurare i giochi e partecipare ai festeggiamenti indetti in Aigai o Ege (oggi Vergìna), l’antica capitale macedone e città sacra, un ufficiale della sua guardia del corpo, Pausania, lo pugnala a morte.

Aristotele dà credito al gesto di un amante umiliato; altri tirano in ballo una congiura ordita da sua moglie Olimpiade; altri ancora incolpano i Persiani e i principi della Lincestide; altri infine la interpretano come una reazione all’idea che Filippo potesse essere divinizzato. Un giallo in piena regola, con un colpevole immediatamente giustiziato, ma, a distanza di secoli, ancora senza un movente preciso.

 

Penso che il tetradramma da associare all’evento debba essere migliore di questo battuto su un tondello di forma irregolare, come se ne trova per es. nella discussione sulle monete più attraenti di Filippo II di Macedonia in questa sezione.

Ajax shuddered deep in his mighty heart at the gods’ actions, and knew that Zeus the Thunderer, on high, intent on Trojan victory, was bringing all their battle plans to naught. So he fell back out of range, then the Trojans threw blazing brands into the swift ship, and a stream of living flame instantly engulfed it. Iliad XVI:112-114

Sempronianus, augur from 174 a.C. The reverse type signs a decisive break with the traditional approach to selection of coin iconography. It should be regarded as referring to an early version of the story of the Forche Caudine, in which the unfavourable agreement with Samnites was honoured. The motif of a kneeling youth between two men appearing first on the reverses of staters minted in the first period of roman coinage. The type is repeated on the reverse of these denarii in the late second century. The scene has been identified as an oath of alliance and because contemporary events rarely figured on coins in this period, the type probably have some referece to late peace with the Samnites. An oath scene can still be recognized also on the serrate of C. Sulpicius and on the coins under the name of C. Mutilius and rebels during the Social War. We May argue that the scene is one of a coniuratio made by Roman milites to obey their consules (Liv. XXII.38). Otherwise itÕs possible to give the scene a mythical context, identifying the sacrifice as the treaty between king Latinus and Aeneas (Virg., Aen. XII.161-215) or between Titus Tatius and Romulus (Virg. Aen. VIII, 639-41) or at least, between the leaders of Alba Longa and Rome before the duel of Horatii and Curiatii (Liv. I,24). The specific scene cannot be securely identified, especially because we are lacking representations of RomeÕs Latin allies and Aeneas from this century. The oath motif remembers a mythical Roman alliance while alluding to contemporary alliances

Ex NAC sale 52, 2009, 602.
The facing portrait on Roman coins was an extremely rare occurrence until the reign of Constantius II, who eventually adopted the form as his standard obverse type at eastern mints. However, the form he used was simplistic in comparison to earlier attempts: the face of the emperor was small and inarticulate, with the true impact of the design being derived from the form and the ornamentation of the armoured, helmeted bust, which could be easily replicated on a large scale. In contrast, this aureus of Licinius represents an impressive attempt to capture the spirit of the emperor as an individual, not merely as a universal being. Four important issues of gold with facing busts were produced from c. 310 to c. 321. The first was by Maxentius on aurei of c. 310-312, and the second by Constantine on solidi of 316; the former was shown bare-headed and bearded, in the guise of a model Tetrarch, the latter was shown nimbate and clean-shaven, as a reflection of his unique brand of monotheism, which embraced solar worship and the Christian faith. Similarities in the style of the two issues make it possible that both were the work of the same artist, who initially worked for Maxentius, and who remained in Italy after Constantine's takeover and produced a facing-head for his new master. Following these two coinages are the solidi of c. 321 struck for Licinius I and Licinius II, and we should not doubt that they were inspired by one or both of the predecessor issues. The Licinian solidi mark a special event, the taking of imperial vows. The statue of Jupiter rests upon a monumental base inscribed SIC V SIC X, a substitute for the usual votum, in which Licinius II gives thanks for five years of rulership and demonstrates a desire to reign for ten. Equally worthy of comment is the reverse type, on which Jupiter makes one of his last appearances on Roman coinage. This can be seen as evidence of the simmering hostilities between Constantine and Licinius, who not only were co-emperors, but were brothers-in-law. Their rivalry increasingly took on a religious tone, with Constantine now favouring Christianity and Licinius embracing the supreme pagan god – partly because of his own beliefs, partly in opposition to Constantine. Licinius had initially adopted religious ambiguity in 313 as a token of good faith toward Constantine, who early in that year had issued the 'Edict of Milan' in both of their names. Here that position is rejected: the inscription describes Jupiter as the protector of Licinius, and the god is represented by an especially powerful and ancient image, seemingly derived from Phidias' famous gold and ivory statue in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia.
