Lot # 402 - L. Papius Celsus. AR Denarius, 45 BC. Obv. Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat's skin. Rev. CELSVS III VIR. She-wolf right, placing stick on fire; on right, eagle fanning flames with its wings; in exergue, L. PAPIVS. RRSC D261.1; Cr. 472/1; B. 2. AR. 3.68 g. 17 mm. Scarce. Well centred and good example of this fascinating issue. Peripheral areas of weak strike. About EF. The reverse depicts the legendary foundation of Lanuvium. As Aeneas and his Trojan followers were engaged in constructing the city, they saw a blaze in a nearby wood. The fire was kindled by a she-wolf feeding branches onto a brazier, while an eagle fanned the flames with its wings. According to the tradition, a fox (not shown here) attempted in vain to put out the fire by dipping its tail into a stream, but was driven away by the wolf and the eagle. From this, Aeneas understood that the new settlement would gain renown, though it would face the envy of its neighbours—yet ultimately it would triumph.

Lot # 403 - Lollius Palicanus. AR Denarius, 45 BC. Obv. Head of Liberty right; behind, LIBERTA[TIS]. Rev. View of the Rostra in the Forum surmounted by a sella; above, PALIKANVS. RRSC D262.1; Cr. 473/1; B. 2. AR. 3.49 g. 20.5 mm. R. Rare and good example, with enchanting cabinet tone. Areas of weak strike. Marks. Good VF. The Rostra is the name of the great speaker's platform in the Forum, from which speakers addressed crowds, and from this platform many of the great and famous speeches in Roman history were delivered. Initially, it was constructed as a flat-topped platform (suggestus) forming part of the large, round Comitium (an area in front of the Curia where speakers would address the whoever was assembled). Typically, a speaker's platform is called a tribunal, but after Duilius won Rome's first major naval victory against Antium in 338 BCE, six bronze prows of enemy ships were attached to the front of the speaker's platform as trophies; the Latin for prows is rostra, and the name became used for the entire structure. In 260 BCE, C. Duilius Nepos defeated the Carthagians at Mylae, and replaced or supplemented the original prows with new ones from ships captured in that battle. Eventually, decorative prows that were not from actual ships were specially constructed for the platform itself.
