Trajan seated left on platform, presenting Parthamaspates to kneeling Parthian; attendant standing to right of Trajan.Woytek 594v-2; RIC 667.The great spoils won by Trajan through the wars in Dacia and the stability of the limes enabled the empire to enjoy seven years of peace and prosperity, avoiding internal conflicts or major external threats. However, in 113 the emperor embarked on one last venture, the invasion of the Parthian empire, one of the most formidable adversaries since Julius Caesar. Trajan achieved another victory, regained control of Armenia that had been occupied by the Parthian king Osroes, and extended Roman rule to Syria and Mesopotamia. The sestertius with REX PARTHIS DATVS celebrates the coronation of Partamaspates, a Phanthian king wanted by the emperor to replace Osroes on the Parthian throne.

Lot # 635 - DIVA MARCIANA (Died 112/4). Denarius. Rome. Obv: DIVA AVGVSTA MARCIANA. Draped bust right, wearing stephane.Rev: CONSECRATIO. Eagle standing left, head right, wings spread.Woytek 719; RIC 743.The eldest daughter of the senator Marcus Ulpius Trajan and of Marcia, therefore Trajan's elder sister, she inherited her middle name, Marciana, from her mother's paternal ancestors. She married around 63 Gaius Saloninus Matidius Patricius, a very wealthy man, praetor and member of the religious college of the Arvales. From him Ulpia had a daughter Salonina Matidia. After Saloninus' death, Marciana did not remarry, although she had many pretenders due to her prestigious relationship with the emperor and her beauty. However, Trajan respected her wishes and never forced her to remarry. Her daughter Matidia instead married first a Matidius, then Lucius Vibius Sabinus, from a consular family, and from this marriage was born Vibia Sabina, future wife of Hadrian. When Vibius Sabinus died in 84 or 87, Ulpia Marciana with her daughter and granddaughters went to live in the family home of Trajan and his wife Plotina, and later in the palace. After 105 she was elevated to the rank of Augusta by her brother, the first sister of an emperor to receive this title. Although she was initially reticent, she was finally convinced by Plotina and first appeared on coins and depicted by statues. Her portrait is known for its complicated hairstyle with a high diadem. Marciana often travelled with Trajan, who considered her a trusted advisor and often asked her opinion on decisions. He also dedicated two cities to her, Colonia Marciana in Africa, and Marcianopolis in Moesia. She died between 112 and 114, when she was deified at the behest of Trajan, along with their father Marcus Ulpius Trajan. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 3.13 g. Diameter: 20 mm.

Lot # 659 - HADRIAN (117-138). GOLD Aureus. Rome. Obv: HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS P P. Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.Rev: COS III. Hadrian on horseback right, raising hand.RIC² 930; Calicó 1221.Hadrian was born in Italica or Rome in 76 AD to an influential family; his grandfather had been a member of the senate. Having soon been orphaned, Hadrian was entrusted to his cousin Trajan, who acted as his tutor and granted him in marriage one of his great-granddaughters, Sabina, in 100 AD. It was therefore quite natural that on Trajan's death Hadrian should succeed him, although he had never adopted him. In fact at the prince's death the senate received letters from Trajan mentioning Hadrian's adoption, but according to Cassius Dio they were signed by his widow Plotina. Probably Lucius Licinius Sura, his future and greatest general, also made great efforts for Trajan to consider Hadrian's candidacy. Hadrian is remembered as a literate monarch, a lover of Greek letters and neosophistic philosophy. The new emperor had a very different political conception from that of his predecessor, beginning with the renouncing of the expansionism so much desired by Trajan in order to focus more on the defense of imperial borders, as evidenced by the construction of Hadrian's Wall. His reign was also marked by the travels he embarked on between 121 and 132, a way of learning about and expressing respect for every corner of the empire. Indeed, he visited numerous regions and garrisons, reserving special interest for the armies and the discipline of the soldiers. Despite his efforts to avoid any armed conflict, Hadrian had to deal with a Jewish revolt that erupted because he had renamed Jerusalem as the Colonia Aelia Capitolina, after his family name, for having a temple dedicated to Jupiter Capitolinus erected there and for forbidding circumcision, a custom he perceived as barbaric, despite not being hostile to Judaism. The revolt was very bloody and led by Simon bar Kochba, who lost his life in the last battle. In internal politics Hadrian gave his best, eliminating unnecessary expenses and undertaking magnificent public works, not only in Rome. He also asked his jurists to collect all edicts that would ensure greater justice for the weaker, but went to the disadvantage of the Senate, which responded with conspiracies. Hadrian managed to escape these attempts and sent all the conspirators to death, earning himself a very bad reputation. For this he publicly apologized and engaged in a series of food concessions to the people, forgave a huge amount of debt, and promised not to use any more violence against the senators. Promise that he did not keep, however, as a result of further conspiracy attempts. In 136 he designated Lucius Aelius Caesar as his successor, but he died two years later. Hadrian, having failed to have children by Sabina, was thus forced to adopt Antoninus Pius, asking him to adopt in turn two other young men, Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, son of the late Aelius. He died in 138 after a long and painful illness. Condition: Fine.Weight: 7.11 g. Diameter: 20 mm.
