Lot # 583 - GORDIAN III (238-244). GOLD Aureus. Rome. Obv: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG. Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.Rev: P M TR P VI COS II P P. Gordian standing right, holding globe and transverse spear.RIC 107; Calicó 3228.Born to a daughter of Gordian I, sister of Gordian II, because of the young age at which he came to occupy the throne (13), Gordian did not rule directly, but the Senate did so for him. Gordian had become prince because the Senate needed to placate an uprising of the traditionalist urban plebs, bound to the dynastic ideal, and in order to take advantage of his family's wealth. Moreover, the praetorians had acclaimed him emperor just to show the Senate that they were the ones who decided who to put on the throne. Among the first moves was the dismissal of the legion in Africa because it had supported Capellianus and led to the deaths of Gordian I and II, who were deified. During his relatively long tenure there were several problems to deal with. In 240 Sabinianus, elected caesar in Carthage, prepared to make war on him, but was stopped by the governor of Mauretania. In the north the barbarians were making constant raids and sacking villages and towns. Gordian was too young to face these problems, but fortunately for him he could count on the diplomatic and military skill of Timesitheus, who had become prefect of the praetorium and granted him his daughter, Tranquillina, in marriage in 241. Rome succeeded in repelling the Persians of Shapur I in 243 thanks to Timesitheus, but on his death he was replaced as prefect of the praetorium by Marcus Julius Philip known as 'the Arab'. The latter, however, was not satisfied with this title but aimed at the throne, and he convinced the army that they needed an adult prince and not a boy. Gordian showed maturity and offered to cede the throne to Philip and become his caesar, but he was killed in 244. The Senate was informed that he had died of wounds sustained in a battle against the Persians. His body was sent to Rome where he was deified. Condition: Extremely fine.Weight: 4.48 g.

Lot # 639 - VITELLIUS (69). Denarius. Rome. Obv: A VITELLIVS GERM IMP AVG TR P. Laureate head right.Rev: XV VIR SACR FAC. Tripod surmounted by dolphin right; below, raven right.RIC² 109.Ex Salton collection. Vitellius was born in AD 15 and rose to prominence largely thanks to his talent for flattery and for pleasing the emperors. His origins were the subject of conflicting stories, ranging from descent from ancient Italic deities to being the son of a freedman cobbler. After a youth marked by excess, he managed to win favour with Caligula, Claudius and Nero by exploiting their personal passions, and even poisoned his own son out of fear that he was plotting against him. Galba sent him to Lower Germany more to remove him from Rome than out of confidence, yet Vitellius quickly won over the soldiers by granting favours and cancelling punishments. The German legions, encouraged by Valens and Caecina Alienus, proclaimed him emperor and defeated Otho at Bedriacum. Vitellius entered Rome like a triumphator, presented his young son as heir, and declared his intention to found a new dynasty. He replaced the praetorian guard, punished Galba’s killers, and honoured Nero, earning the hostility of senatorial historians. When news arrived that the troops had proclaimed Vespasian, his power collapsed swiftly: the Danubian armies defeated his forces in the second battle of Bedriacum, the Misenum fleet deserted him, and Valens’ attempt to raise new troops failed. In Rome, the Capitoline Hill was set ablaze during the fighting, and Vitellius, after trying to flee, was captured, dragged along the Via Sacra and killed. He suffered damnatio memoriae, and his brother and son died with him. His failure stemmed from the growing strength of provincial armies, the marginal role of the Senate, and his limited military experience, worsened by his choice of collaborators who were openly at odds with one another. Yet Vitellius did show respect for the Senate, allowing his reign to begin only after its ratification and refusing titles he considered too grand for himself.
