Superb Julianus

Lot # 151 - DIDIUS JULIANUS (193). Denarius. Rome. Obv: IMP CAES M DID IVLIAN AVG. Laureate head right.Rev: RECTOR ORBIS. Didius Julianus standing left, holding globe and volumen.RIC 3.Marcus Didius Severus Julianus was born in Mediolanum in AD 133 and grew up in the house of Marcus Aurelius, brought up by his mother, Domitia Lucilla, thanks to whom he was elected to the vigintivirate. Didius Julianus then distinguished himself in Germania against the Chauci and was awarded the consulship in 175. When Pertinace was assassinated, Didius Julianus proposed himself as his successor in a manner that, according to the historian Cassius Dione, was scandalous and infamous. Julian is said to have offered to the praetorians a large sum of money in exchange for the empire. Similarly, however, Sulpicianus, father-in-law of the late Pertinace, behaved in a sort of auction to buy the throne. Didius Julianus prevailed, winning power with 30,000 sestertii paid to each praetorian, but also promising to rehabilitate the memory of Commodus. His first action as emperor was in fact to bring down the head of the praetorian prefect Quintus Aemilius Leto, who had taken part in the conspiracy with Cassius Dion in 192 and was guilty of the murder of Commodu Didius Julian's power was short-lived, however, because of Septimius Severus, governor of Pannonia Superior, who accused him of murdering Pertinaces and was supported by the people. Faced with the advance of Septimius Severus, Didius Severus was abandoned by the legionaries of the Danube and also by the Praetorians, without whom it was impossible to maintain power in Rome. The Senate thus, in an extraordinary meeting, deposed Julian and condemned him to death. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 3.00 g. Diameter: 18 mm.Estimate: € 2000

Superb Didia Clara

Lot # 152 - DIDIA CLARA (Augusta, 193). Denarius. Rome. Obv: DIDIA CLARA AVG. Draped bust right.Rev: HILAR TEMPOR. Hilaritas standing left, holding palm frond and cornucopia.RIC 10 (Julianus).RareManlia Scantilla became the wife of Marcus Didius Julianus in 153, and from this marriage a daughter, Didia Clara, was born, with whom she was elected to the rank of augusta by the Roman Senate on the occasion of her husband's elevation to emperor. According to the historian Herodianus, the two women themselves suggested Didius to buy his imperial office at auction. When Commodus was assassinated, he was succeeded by the praetorian prefect Pertinax, from whom the Praetorian Guard expected favors and money but were disappointed; this led them to eliminate Pertinax and seek out a generous candidate by auctioning off their support. The two contenders were Sulpicianus and Didius Julianus, who was reportedly persuaded by his wife to pay 30,000 sestertii to “buy” the title of emperor. Because of the promises he had made to the Praetorian Guard, the new emperor was forced to intervene in monetary matters, reducing the silver content of the coins so that he could mint them in greater quantities. The mint in Rome then began to mint coins bearing the portraits of his wife and daughter, Didia Clara. However, Julian held power for only a short time, as he was unable to win the loyalty of the army, which soon betrayed him in order to support Septimius Severus. When her husband was beheaded on 1 June 193, Manlia Scantilla was able to dispose of the body but not the heredity, losing the title of augusta. There are no records after that, and depictions of her and her daughter on coins or statues remain very rare. Condition: Near extremely fine; some luster in field.Weight: 3.17 g.

Aurelianus Invictus

Lot # 202 - AURELIAN (270-275). Antoninianus. Serdica. Obv: IMP C L D AVRELIANVS INVICTVS AVG. Radiate and cuirassed bust right.Rev: RESTITVT ORBIS / (star) / KA•Γ•. Female figure, holding wreath, and Aurelian, holding sceptre, standing facing one another.RIC V online 2797 (4 specimens).Very rareOn this Antoninianus, the epithet ‘Invictus’ appears in its rare full form. In 274, Aurelian introduced the cult of Sol Invictus in Rome, seeking to impose it as the state religion. He built a sanctuary in the Campus Agrippae dedicated to this god and proclaimed, for the first time in the West, 25 December as a festive day in honour of the new god: the “Dies Natalis Solis Invicti”. The emperor himself declared his role as the supreme priest, claiming that his power had been granted to him directly by the god, thereby establishing the regal practice of asserting the right to the throne by divine grace. The festival of the Dies Natalis Solis Invicti gradually grew in importance as it merged with, and ultimately replaced, the older Roman festival, the Saturnalia. Aurelian was fresh from his victory over Queen Zenobia of the Kingdom of Palmyra, achieved in part thanks to the support of troops from the Syrian city of Emesa: at the start of the decisive battle, the emperor claimed to have had an auspicious vision of Sol, who was worshipped in Emesa. Aurelian saw the adoption of the cult of Sol Invictus as a powerful force for cultural and political cohesion within the Empire, given that, in various forms, sun worship was already present in many regions of the empire.
