Rare and Fascinating Type

Lot # 44 - JULIA TITI (Augusta, 79-90/1). Denarius. Rome. Obv: IVLIA AVGVSTA. Diademed and draped bust right, hair bound up in coiffure with long plait down back.Rev: DIVI TITI FILIA. Peacock standing facing, head left, with tail feathers spread.RIC² p. 314, note 72; RIC II (1st ed.) 218 (Domitian).Extremely rareFlavia Julia Augusta, known as Iulia Titi, was the only daughter of Emperor Titus and his second wife Marcia Furnilla. Very little is known about her, except that when she was still a child she was presented as the future successor of the Flavian dynasty, since her father, after his second divorce, had not taken another wife and the other women of the family (Domitilla Major and Domitilla Minor) had already died. When Titus came to power, Julia was given the title of Augusta, which was usually attributed to the emperor's wife. Titus proposed to his brother Domitian to marry Julia, but Domitian refused because he was in love with Domitia Longina. Julia therefore married her cousin, Titus Flavius Sabinus. Upon the death of his father (AD 81), Domitian became emperor and, after repudiating Domitia on suspicion of adultery, it seems that he began a relationship with Julia and had Sabinus killed. Julia died in abortion in 90, precluding her from providing an heir to the emperor. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 3.36 g. Diameter: 20 mm.Estimate: € 2500

Dacian seated right on shield in attitude of mourning; curved Dacian sword below.Woytek 189a; RIC 219.The falx or rhomphaia was a one- or two-handed cutting weapon adopted by the Dacians in the 4th century. This type of sword forced the Romans to partially revise their equipment, especially during Trajan's campaigns in Dacia at the beginning of the 2nd century. The soldiers adopted segmented sleeves and reinforced helmet visors to defend themselves from the cutting blows inflicted by the falx. Examples of this weapon can be seen on coins and on Trajan's Column. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 3.33 g. Diameter: 19 mm.Estimate: € 200

Sharp Trajan's Column

Lot # 75 - TRAJAN (98-117). Denarius. Rome. Obv: IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC. Laureate and draped bust right.Rev: P M TR P COS VI P P S P Q R. Trajan's column surmounted by statue of Trajan, with patera and sceptre; two eagles at base.Woytek 514v; RIC 356.Trajan's Column, designed by the architect Apollodorus of Damascus, was inaugurated in 113 AD in Trajan's Forum to commemorate his victories in Dacia. It is one of the finest examples of Roman art that can still be admired today. The magnificent frieze, which winds its way upward along the entire shaft of the column, consists of a sequence of reliefs 180 meters long, featuring approximately 2,000 figures. The emperor appears in about 60 scenes depicting Trajan’s two military campaigns against the Dacians, led between 101-102 and 105-106 AD. The monument, made of Parian marble, rises 42 meters high. Originally, a statue of an eagle stood atop the column, but after Trajan’s death, it was replaced with a six-meter-tall gilded bronze statue of the emperor himself. His ashes and those of his wife Plotina were placed in the burial chamber at the base of the column. Condition: Near extremely fine; luster in field.Weight: 3.36 g. Diameter: 20 mm.Estimate: € 500

Rare Restitution Issue

Lot # 87 - TRAJAN (98-117). Denarius. Rome. Restitution issue of Augustus, with Agrippa. Obv: AVGVSTVS. Bare head right.Rev: IMP CAES TRAIAN AVG GER DAC P P REST / COSSVS CN F LENTVLVS. Equestrian statue of Agrippa right, holding trophy over shoulder, on base decorated with two rostra.Woytek 848 (5 specimens); RIC 817.Extremely rareTrajan followed the example of the emperors Titus, Domitian, and Nerva, striking restitution coins that closely imitated older models. He was, however, the first to issue restitution coins not in bronze but exclusively in precious metal, and the first ever to mint gold coins of this type, likely dating to 112/3 AD. The reason for these issues may have been the melting down of old and worn coins, as reported by Cassius Dio. Some of these denarii struck by Trajan imitate coins from the Republican era, while others evoke the emperors who preceded him. It is likely that this initiative was also intended to emphasize the emperor’s desire to present himself as a continuation of his predecessors, models of good governance such as Augustus. This extraordinary specimen imitates a rare denarius struck by Cossus Cornelius Lentulus in 12 BC. The obverse features a remarkable portrait of Augustus, which, however, closely resembles that of Trajan himself. On the reverse is Agrippa, his most trusted friend and collaborator, to whom an equestrian statue was dedicated shortly after his death; the rostra at the base recall his famous naval victories.

Superb Marciana

Matidia, veiled and draped, seated left on throne without back, right hand over child standing to left, left hand on second child standing to right.Woytek 713-1; RIC 742 (Trajan).RareThe 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: Extremely fine.Weight: 3.32 g. Diameter: 19 mm.Estimate: € 5000
