Lot # 317 - M. PLAETORIUS M.F. CESTIANUS. Denarius (57 BC). Rome. Obv: CESTIANVS / S C. Helmeted, laureate and draped bust of Vacuna right, with bow and quiver over shoulder; cornucopia to right.Rev: M PLAETORIVS M F AED CVR. Eagle standing right on winged thunderbolt, head left, with wings spread.Crawford 409/1; RBW 1482.Vacuna was an ancient goddess of Sabine origin who watched over the farmers' rest. Sacrifices were offered to her during the harvests and in December, once the farm work was completed. She is a enigmatic goddess, often associated with and confused with other deities of ancient Italy, such as Victoria, Diana, Ceres, and Minerva. Like other Sabine deities, her cult was practiced primarily outdoors, in the openings within the woods, though temples and sanctuaries were not excluded. There is little iconography depicting the goddess, and her symbolic traits are vague, as she is associated with the cycle of agricultural production. However, it has two specific connotations: the focus on the break that follows the fatigue of the last harvest, which places special emphasis on the dimension of rest after work, and the connection with water in all its forms, from rain to the sources of lakes, characterized by the oracular and thaumaturgical properties of the aquatic element. This denarius bears the most popular image, depicting the identification of Vacuna with Roman deities, particularly Victoria. The Romans celebrated Vacuna in early December with the Vacunalia, a festival about which little is known. It is possible that the cult in Rome retained elements of Sabine religious practices and perhaps even those of the Pelasgians, who inhabited the region before the Sabines.

Lot # 322 - JULIUS CAESAR. Denarius (49 BC). Military mint traveling with Caesar. Obv: CAESAR. Elephant advancing right, trampling upon horned serpent.Rev: Emblems of the pontificate: simpulum, aspergillum, securis and apex.Crawford 443/1; CRI 9; RBW 1557.With the beginning of the Civil Wars, this is the first coin issued in open defiance of the Senate, bearing the name of a private individual. There is no agreement on the place of issue, Crawford attributes it to an itinerant mint. According to D. Van Meter (The Hanbook of Roman Imperial Coins) the coin, was minted in 49-48 to finance the invasion of Italy, the allegory would refer to the salvation of the Republic (the snake/dragon), crushed by Metellus Scipio (whose gens had an elephant depicted on their coins). It is generally believed that it is a dragon that is trampled upon; the African elephant would not only allude to the victory against Ariovistus in 58 BC (the dragon was on the banner of the Germans) but also to the name of Caesar, who discovered the existence of a homograph word for elephant in the Mauri' language in Mauretania. Religious emblems here depicted are symbols of priestly offices: the jug and the lituus representing the functions associated with the Pontefices and the Augures. Both ensure the legitimacy of all political action, ensuring the salvation of the Roman state through respect for the divine will. Caesar himself holds most of the religious offices and uses them for propaganda purposes in a new type of coin that emphasises his supreme authority. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 3.93 g.

Personification of Gallia
Lot # 325 - L. HOSTILIUS SASERNA. Denarius (48 BC). Rome. Obv: Head of Gallia right; carnyx to left.Rev: L HOSTILIVS / SASERNA. Diana of Ephesus standing facing, holding spear and stag by the horns.Crawford 448/3; CRI 19; RBW 1570.Ex Naville Numismatics 32 (2017), lot 405; purchased from Muschietti in 1955. This denarius refers to the Roman expansion of the Empire with the annexation of the province of Gallia Comata, or the 'Tres Galliae', through its female personification characterized by long hair (“comata” = “hairy” or “leafy”) and by the presence of the Celtic carnyx in the field. This iconography also appears on the breastplate of the Augustus of Prima Porta. For the reverse to pair with the personification of Gallia Comata, the Ephesus Artemis was chosen, dressed in a long chiton, holding a spear in her left hand and restraining a doe by the antlers with her right. She is therefore a territorial deity, whose cult spread beyond the Alps thanks to the Greek colonists of Massalia, but also an expression of an ancient bond between the transalpine region and the city of Rome, where, in the archaic age, King Servius Tullius built on the Aventine Hill the temple of Diana–Artemis, marked by clear Ionian influences. This coin also offers one of the finest representations of the carnyx, the long Celtic war trumpet that was not merely a musical instrument: it became a powerful symbol of identity, strong enough to enter permanently into both Celtic and Roman monetary iconography. Ancient sources describe it as an object with a harsh and striking sound, used in battle and associated with the prestige of the warrior aristocracy. Archaeological depictions show that it also had a ritual and sacred role. On Celtic coins, the carnyx often appears together with the horse, the chariot, and other attributes of the military elite, a way to exalt the rank, courage and warrior tradition of the Gallic and British tribes. The Romans, on the other hand, adopted it as an emblem of the defeated enemy. In Republican and later Imperial denarii, the carnyx appears in trophies of barbarian arms, alongside oval shields and chariot wheels, or at the feet of prisoners in chains. There is, however, also a second use: in some issues, especially in Gallic colonies, the carnyx is represented not as a symbol of defeat but as a local identity marker integrated into the new Roman reality. It is the sign of a process of Romanization that did not entirely erase traditions but reused them to build a provincial identity loyal to Rome. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 3.73 g. Diameter: 19 mm.Estimate: € 1000.

Ex Rauch 2011
Lot # 330 - JULIUS CAESAR. Denarius (47-46 BC). Uncertain mint in North Africa, possibly Utica. Obv: DICT ITER COS TERT. Head of Ceres right, wearing grain wreath.Rev: AVGVR / PONT MAX. Emblems of the augurate and pontificate: simpulum, aspergillum, guttus and lituus; D to right.Crawford 467/1a; CRI 57; RBW 1637.Ex Auktionshaus H. D. Rauch 89 (2011), lot 1343. The legends on this coin capture a precise historical moment and bear witness to the growing power that Caesar was assuming before his assassination. After his victory at Thapsus in 46 BC and the triumph celebrated that same year, Pompey’s sons regrouped in Spain and seized the Balearic Islands. Toward the end of the year, Caesar left for Spain with his best troops, and on March 17, 45 BC, he clashed with the enemy near Munda. This hard‑fought victory led to the death of all the Pompeian leaders, except Sextus Pompey, and to the celebration of Caesar’s fifth triumph. The various titles granted to Caesar are often attested on his coins. He had been consul for the first time in 59 BC (COS I) and dictator for the first time at the end of 49 (DICT I). From October 48 he obtained the second dictatorship (DICT ITER (II)), which lasted one year, and the proclamation had taken place as soon as news of Pompey’s death reached Rome. This denarius also bears the reference to his third consulship (COS TERT), obtained on December 31, 46 BC, together with Aemilius Lepidus. The reverse instead refers to the religious sphere and mentions the title of Pontifex Maximus, which placed him at the head of the Roman religious system. The letter “D” in the field of the reverse probably refers to the 'donativum' that all soldiers expected to receive for their service. Minting coinage to pay the troops during long periods of war required organization and planning to ensure that money could be transported in time to the place of distribution and to secure the loyalty of the army. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 3.99 g. Diameter: 20 mm.Estimate: € 1000.
