Lot # 371 - AUGUSTUS (27 BC-14 AD). GOLD Aureus. Uncertain mint in Spain, possibly Colonia Patricia. Obv: Bare head right.Rev: AVGVSTVS. Capricorn right, with globus attached to rudder between hooves; cornucopia above.RIC² 125; Calicó 164.Certified by NGC 8538541-001. Described as "Repaired" which we don´t accept as a correct assessment. Part of the dies have been recut / repaired. For a coin with a smilar coin modification see Gorny & Mosch 289/728. This coin is part of a series celebrating the return of the standards lost by Crassus' legions in the terrible defeat at Carrhae in 53 BC. For the Romans, the legionary standards were not simply banners, but very important symbols. For this reason, Augustus sought to recover them, to erase the shame of defeat and deliver revenge to the people. In 23 BC, he met the embassy of Phraates IV in Rome for the first time. The Parthian ruler demanded the return of his son, who was being held hostage by Augustus, and of Tiridates II, his predecessor who had been dethroned and had taken refuge with the Romans. No agreement was reached, so Augustus planned a military campaign in the East to recover the standards and place a pro-Roman king on the throne of Armenia, another bone of contention between the two enemies. When the Roman army landed in the Balkans in 20 BC under the command of Tiberius, Phraates IV decided not to enter into conflict and agreed to return the insignia. These were sent back to Rome and the emperor celebrated the event by striking a series of coins usually bearing the inscription ‘SIGNIS RECEPTIS’ (=the insignia recovered) or an abbreviation on the reverse. In the case of this aureus, only the name of the emperor appears, who, with the same issue, also celebrates Capricorn. According to Suetonius, Augustus made it his personal emblem, using it as a symbol of his imperial destiny, even though he was born on September 23 and his zodiac sign was actually another. Capricorn can be considered the emblematic representation of the terrestrial sphere, as it embodies the nature of earth and water and can therefore be seen as a positive omen of power over the lands of the Empire, both those already acquired and those yet to be conquered. In fact, the globe (earth) and the rudder (water) appear between its legs in the iconography. The symbol appears in numerous works and is universally remembered as the unmistakable symbol of Augustus; it appears on the famous Gemma Augustea and was also linked to legions he re-founded or created, like the Legio Secunda Augusta.

Livia (as Pax) seated right on throne, holding sceptre and olive branch.RIC² 26.Double strike is a rather common minting error in Roman coinage. Before being minted, the flan was heated to make it more workable. One of the two dies was secured to the anvil with a fixed support. The ‘suppostor’ used tongs to place the marked flan on top of it, then placed the other die on top, which was finally struck by a large hammer wielded by the ‘malleator’. Often, more than one hammer blow was needed to imprint the images on the coin, which explains some minting errors such as double striking, which occurred when the hammer blow was not precise and the flan slipped sideways. This resulted in a coin with one side duplicated. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 3.43 g. Diameter: 19 mm.Estimate: 250,00 €

Garlanded Temple of Janus with closed doors to left and latticed windows to right.RIC² 268 (bust with aegis).The building depicted on the reverse is the oldest sanctuary of Janus, located in the Roman Forum; it consisted of an arch with two entrances and housed a statue of the god at the centre of the doorway. To date, no remains of the temple have been found and its exact location is unknown; its appearance is known mainly from coins. The temple was closed during periods of peace, as was the case during the reigns of Augustus and Nero. According to Suetonius, it was closed three times in quick succession under Nero, because peace had been established on land and at sea (as the legend on the reverse of this sestertius indicates). The emperor celebrated the occasion by bringing a laurel wreath to the Capitoline Hill and closed the Temple of Janus as if there were no more wars to be fought. The temple was opened for the last time during the reign of Gordian III, before his departure for a military campaign against the Sasanians in 242. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 26.97 g.
