Lot # 302 - EGYPT. Alexandria. Antoninus Pius (138-161). BI Tetradrachm. Dated RY 6 (AD 142/3). Obv: ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ϹЄΒ ЄΥ(ϹЄ)Β. Laureate head right.Rev: ΑΙωΝ / L Ϛ (date). Phoenix, crowned with nimbus, standing right.RPC IV.4 610; Dattari (Savio) 2431; Emmett 1419.6.In ancient times, people measured time using two main methods: observing the sun or the moon. The Egyptians were an exception because they used both methods at the same time, creating a civil calendar and a religious one. The civil calendar was based on Sothis, which moves parallel to the sun and, with its sunrise, marked the beginning of the annual flooding of the Nile. The entire civil year revolved around the river and its fertility. In fact, farmers divided the year into three seasons: flooding, sowing, and harvesting. The religious year, on the other hand, was based on the lunar calendar. Each month was dedicated to a different divinity who was celebrated during that period. However, the two calendars had different lengths, being based on different calculations, and coincided again after 1460 years, on July 19, AD 139, when the star Sothis aligned perfectly with the Sun on the horizon. This phenomenon marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new cycle during the reign of Antoninus Pius, and was celebrated with the special issue of a series of coins centered on the Zodiac. All the signs of the zodiac were represented on these coins, but they began with the Phoenix, as it was believed that the exceptional, millennial alignment of Sothis with the Sun also corresponded to the mythical rebirth of this sacred animal, symbol of eternal regeneration.

Two soldiers, facing each other, each carrying off a Sabine woman in his arms.Crawford 344/1a; RBW -.The episode of the Rape of the Sabine Women is recounted by Livy and Plutarch. According to legend, among the many problems faced by the Romans was a shortage of women. Therefore, in order to ensure the future of the Roman race, various alliances were formed with the aim of finding a way to bring women from neighboring populations to Rome. One of the populations involved was that of the Sabines, who rejected the Roman proposal. Romulus and his companions then took advantage of the games in honor of the god Consus to invite the Sabines and kidnap the women, thus starting the war. But faced with the fact that their Sabine relatives and those who had meanwhile become their Roman husbands could be killed in battle, the women began to beg for an end to the massacre. As a result, what became known as the Rape of the Sabine Women led to a situation of peace and prosperity for the two peoples. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 3.93 g. Diameter: 19 mm.

The issue of succession was crucial for Augustus in order to consolidate his legacy. Having had no children with Livia Drusilla, he initially adopted his nephews Gaius and Lucius, sons of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and Julia, presenting them to the people as his designated heirs and conferring upon them extraordinary titles and powers for their young age. However, the premature death of his two grandsons (between 2 and 4 AD) and of Agrippa forced Augustus to revise his plans, and so he adopted Tiberius, the son of Livia and her previous husband, Tiberius Claudius Nero.

This denarius, struck during Augustus' seventh tribunicia potestas, commemorates the renovation of the Via Flaminia (27 BC), a road that ran from the Porta Fontinalis gate in the Servian Wall to Aquileia. For the occasion, a series of silver and gold coins were issued to celebrate the event, highlighting the fact that Augustus had paid for the renovation out of his own pocket. On the reverse, the cippus bears the inscription “S(enatus) P(opulusque) R(omanum), Imp(eratori) Caes(ari), quod v(iae) m(unitae) s(unt) ex ea p(ecunia) q(uam) is ad a(erarium) d(etulit)” (= by decision of the Senate and the Roman people, to the Emperor and Caesar, for having reinforced the roads with funds he paid to the public treasury) and refers to Augustus' donation to the treasury of the sum of money necessary for the renovation of the Via Flaminia, as narrated by Cassius Dio and the emperor himself in the ‘Res Gestae’. The memorial stone probably really existed and was erected in Rome to celebrate the event. The magistrate Vinicius was a family friend, known for having had an affair with Augustus's adulterous daughter, Julia. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 3.69 g. Diameter: 19 mm.
