Elephant advancing left, led by mahout, holding staff and goad.RIC 167a.RareDuring the reign of Philip I, grand celebrations were organized to mark the Millennium of Rome and were combined with the Ludi Secolari. It is said that Philip’s Ludi were the most spectacular of all time. They lasted three days and three nights and concluded with songs praising peace, happiness and harmony for present and future generations, and above all for Rome and its bright future. After the purification of the city and its inhabitants, with the Emperor participating in the role of Pontifex Maximus, the actual Ludi took place, featuring sacrifices to the gods and the staging of grand games and spectacles involving wild beasts, exotic animals, and gladiatorial combats (about two thousand, according to sources) To celebrate Rome’s millennium, Philip had large quantities of coins minted in all metals, bearing his name as well as those of his son Philip II and his wife Otacilia Severa. These issues predominantly feature exotic animals used in circus spectacles (such as the elephant on this sestertius), and represent a unique and original example of ancient coinage.

Rare Usurper

Lot # 705 - JOTAPIAN (Usurper, 248-249). Antoninianus. Nicopolis in Seleucia(?). Obv: IM C M F R IOTAPIANVS A. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.Rev: VICTORIA AVG. Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm frond.RIC 2a.Extremely rareIotapian came from the romanized Middle Eastern aristocracy, and his name recalls that of the Commagenian queens Julia Iotapa, hinting at a possible connection with the royal family of that Hellenistic kingdom, later absorbed into the Roman province of Syria under Vespasian. To strengthen his political image, Iotapian promoted the idea that he descended from Alexander the Great, a claim already used by the kings of Commagene, while some modern scholars instead suggest a link to Emperor Severus Alexander. The political climate was tense: Philip 'the Arab' had recently defeated Germanic and Gothic tribes, but the legions were frustrated by the lack of spoils and by the government’s indifference. In Syria, the emperor’s brother, Julius Priscus, increased taxation and ruled harshly. In this atmosphere of discontent, Iotapian placed himself at the head of the revolt, using both popular resentment and his supposed noble lineage as tools of propaganda. Antioch became the heart of the uprising. The rebellion, however, was short-lived and limited in scope. This is reflected in his coinage: only a few crude antoniniani survive, all bearing the same reverse 'VICTORIA AVG' celebrating the rebels’ victories. At the beginning of Decius’ reign, Iotapian was killed by his own soldiers, the very men who had supported him and seen in him a hope for change. Interestingly, Decius had reportedly foretold to Philip that Iotapian and other usurpers would be slain by their troops, perhaps a sign of political machinations orchestrated by Decius himself, who was becoming one of the most influential figures in the Empire.
