Ceasar's Comet

Lot # 364 - AUGUSTUS (27 BC-14 AD). Denarius. Uncertain mint in Spain (Colonia Caesaraugusta?). Obv: CAESAR AVGVSTVS. Head left, wearing oak wreath.Rev: DIVVS - IVLIVS. Eight-rayed comet with tail upwards.RIC² 37b.In 44 BC, a year of institutional political upheaval, the sighting of a comet, an exceptional astronomical event, was seen as a divine sign related to Caesaricide and appeared on some rare Republican and Augustan denarii. Virgil writes in the Eclogues that Caesar's star represented an extraordinary moment of light at a time of deep sadness for the Romans. Caesar's death shocked Rome but did not stop the crisis of the Republic, Marc'Antony and Octavian contended for power, and when Octavian prevailed, the long imperial history began.

Palm tree; pile of arms to left; to right, Jewess seated right, in attitude of mourning.RIC² 1233.RarePoindessault Vendrines, Paris (July 1994), lot 127. Before becoming emperor, Vespasian made a career distinguishing himself in the invasion of Britain (43-44), then as consul in 51 and proconsul in Africa in 63. But his most important assignment came in 67, when he was sent to Judea to suppress the 'First Jewish Revolt'. Religious hatred began to spread when, in 40, Caligula ordered a statue of him to be placed in the temple in Jerusalem. The prince died shortly afterwards, so the revolt was only postponed and exploded in 66 due, according to Flavius Josephus, to the mismanagement of the Roman procurators, especially of Gessius Florus, guilty of stealing money from the temple treasury. Vespasian, with a 60,000-strong contingent, had control of the country within a year and was preparing to march on Jerusalem when, on hearing the news of Nero's death, he interrupted military operations to support Galba and recognise him as emperor.
