Trajan became consul for the sixth and final time on January 1, AD 112; on the same day he dedicated his new Forum complex. It is thought to have been designed by the architect Apollodorus who accompanied Trajan on his campaigns in Dacia and is famous for building a bridge across the Danube river recorded by ancient authors and artists. When complete, the vast complex consisted of the area fori (main square), the Basilica Ulpia, the column of Trajan, and two libraries, all situated adjacent to the Markets of Trajan on one side and the Forum Augustum on another. The project sought to exceed previous imperial fora in plan, scale and ornamentation while focusing directly on Trajan's military achievements in Dacia. Each imperial forum had specific architectural and decorative schemes which created specific ambiences; thus, Trajan's military theme is vastly different from the Forum of Vespasian (also known as the Temple of Peace and not officially called a forum since there is no evidence of it serving a political function) which instead contains gardens, fountains and promenades. One ancient account tells us that "all along the roof of the colonnades of Trajan's forum there are placed gilded statues of horses and representations of military standards, and underneath is written Ex manubiis [from money obtained through spoils]" (Aulus Gellius, Attic Nights 13.25.1). Perhaps the message the emperor wished to send was that his rule saw such great military achievement that his successes alone were capable of creating the greatest public architectural space in Rome. Following Trajan's death, Hadrian is reported to have added a colossal temple to the deified Trajan and his wife Plotina (of which very little survives) so that the completed Forum focused not only on Trajan's military victories, but also on his apotheosis.
The magnificence of this complex in comparison to previous imperial fora is emphasised by ancient witnesses, one of whom, when describing the emperor Constantius II's reaction when he first visited Rome in AD 357, says it was "a construction unique under the heavens, as we believe, and admirable even in the unanimous opinion of the gods..." (Ammianus Marcellinus 16.10.15). It was later a space where various important events occurred; Hadrian and Aurelian ordered the burning of notes of debt to the state here (Historia Augusta, Hadrian 7.6, Aurelian 39.3), Marcus Aurelius held a sale of imperial treasures here following a period of war as an alternative to taxing the provinces (Historia Augusta, Marcus Aurelius 17.4) and here laws were frequently fastened up on bronze tablets to be read by the public.
This coin was produced following the dedication of the forum and depicts the magnificent arch commemorating Trajan's victories in Dacia which acted as its entrance. Martin Beckmann (see The Early Gold Coinage of Trajan's Sixth Consulship in The American Journal of Numismatics Vol. 12 (2000), pp. 119-156) argues that it was part of the first production of AD 112 which contained a group of types focusing on commemorating the forum such as depictions of the Basilica Ulpia, and Equus Traiana (the following year saw the production of coins showing the newly built Trajan's Column). His study reveals that there were ten dies for this reverse type and that "from the die links it appears that the forum type carried on strongly, perhaps to the end of the entire series..." implying that significant importance was attached to the promulgation of this great architectural work, the grandest of all imperial fora to date, made possible by the emperor's military victories.

Ex Fellot, Paris 1904, 79 and Adolph Hess 14 April 1954 sales, 225. From the Jameson collection. Augustus not only had a clear understanding of the nature of history, but he was not too modest to record his achievements so his place in history would be appreciated. The main document he penned on this topic is the Res Gestae Divi Avgvsti, ‘The Achievements of the Divine Augustus’, which he entrusted to the Vestal Virgins so that after his death it would be inscribed onto bronze tablets for display in front of his mausoleum. Among the many achievements he lists is construction or rehabilitation of roads. In passage 20.5, Augustus states: “In my seventh consulship I restored the Via Flaminia from the city as far as Ariminum [Rimini], together with all bridges except the Milvian and the Ninucian.” This claim is echoed by Suetonius (Augustus, 30) and by Dio Cassius (LII.22), who notes that Augustus erected arches topped with statues of himself on bridges at either end of the Via Flaminia. As early as 27 B.C., the watershed year in which Augustus entered his seventh consulship, Augustus pressed generals and senators into service by demanding they oversee and pay for the repair of other main roads. The generals were to pay for this with prize money they had taken in their campaigns. This great effort was commemorated with a series of aurei and denarii usually attributed to a Spanish mint striking in the period 18-17 B.C. This aureus, inscribed QVOD VIAE MVN[ITAE] SVNT (“For having caused the highways to be built”), shows Victory crowning Augustus, whom she accompanies in a biga of elephants upon a square arch flanked by roofed porticoes. Other coins from this series show an identical elephant-biga scene on a double-arch upon a viaduct, or on a round central arch flanked by arcades, or show Victory and Augustus in a quadriga of horses on a double-arch adorned with a rostra set upon a viaduct. We might presume these were among the statues mentioned by Dio. Augustus’ concern for road repair was practical, as highways were critical to the success of the empire. Not only were they useful for the transportation of goods and the movement of travelers, but they were essential for the efficiency of the army, which could move at great speed on these superhighways. In the instance commemorated by this aureus, Augustus was thinking ahead since he planned to use the Flaminian Way to move troops into Gaul, where he planned to launch major campaigns that would secure and further Romanize that province.

The portrait of Christ on the obverse of this solidus is the first numismatic representation of Jesus, and immediately followed the ruling of the Trullan Synod of AD 692 that Christ could be depicted in human form. Justinian II was ostentatiously devout and placing the divine image on his coinage was a reflection of this. The image is remarkably naturalistic and lifelike, and was likely based on the mosaic image of Christ in the apse of the Great Palace of Constantinople, which was itself influenced by Hellenistic depictions of Zeus. Some scholars have argued that Justinian's choice to produce this new type came in response to the Umayyad caliph 'Abd al-Malik's minting of Byzantine-style solidi bearing the Islamic statement of faith (the shahada) in AD 692, which he used in payment of tribute to the Emperor prior to the eruption of the Battle of Sebastopolis the same year.  Estimate: 2500-3500 USD ILLUSTRAZIONE: MOSAICO RAFFIGURANTE IL CRISTO PANTOCRATORE, HAGIA SOFIA (ISTANBUL).

RIC X 2007. Depeyrot 45/2. Very rare. From the Morris Collection. The daughter of Theodosius I, Galla Placidia was born in AD 392 and proved to be a much more formidable character than her weakling brothers, Honorius and Arcadius. She would need such fortitude for, following the siege of Rome in 408-410, she was captured and held hostage by Visigoths. Whether by coercion or choice, she soon wed Atualf, son and successor of King Alaric. Perhaps she hoped the wedding would spur a modus vivendi between Roman and Barbarian, but if so her hopes were dashed by the murder of Ataulf in AD 416. A swap of hostages returned her to the Western Roman court, and in AD 417 Honorius married her off to the elderly general Constantius III, later briefly co-Emperor of the West. Although the union was not a happy one, it did produce a son and daughter. After the death of Constantius in AD 421, Honorius began to show a strange, incestuous attraction to his sister and she fled to the East Roman court of Theodosius II. When Honorius died in AD 423 and the Western throne was usurped by Johannes, Placidia returned with a sizeable army to depose the usurper in favor of her five-year-old son, who was duly installed as Valentinian III. She remained in Italy, ruling the Western Empire as regent until her son came of age, and played a major role in political and religious affairs until her death in AD 450. Her mausoleum in Ravenna is a masterpiece of early Medieval architecture and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.  Estimate: 5000-7000 USD illustrazione: Alarico entra a Roma (410 d.C.)
