ROMAN. Julius Caesar. 49-44 BC. Silver Denarius (3.84g). Struck in Spain, circa 46-45 BC. Diademed head of Venus right, small Cupid at shoulder behind / CAESAR, trophy of Gallic arms between seated male and female captives. Crawford 468/1; RSC 13; Sear 1404. Lustrous. Superb example. gVF. This denarius was struck during Caesar's Spanish campaign of 46-45 BC, when he moved against the remaining Pompeian forces after the civil war had spread across the Roman world. Caesar's earlier conquest of Gaul, recorded in his Commentarii de Bello Gallico (Commentaries on the Gallic War), had transformed his wealth, reputation and military power. In 52 BC he defeated Vercingetorix and the Gallic coalition at Alesia, securing one of the defining victories of his career. The obverse links Caesar to Venus through the legendary line of Aeneas and Iulus, while the reverse, showing a trophy of Gallic arms between captives, advertises his victories in Gaul and presents them as proof of divine favour, military success and Roman dominance. For the type and a similar quality example, see Roma Numismatics Ltd., Auction 21, lot 457, hammered GBP 8,500. Acquired from Soler y Llach S.L., May 2019. (P)Estimate: AUD 1000

For the type see; Heritage Auction 3082, lot 33201, hammered USD 1,300, though this coin is far superior in overall eye appeal and preservation to that example. (P)Estimate: AUD 2500

ROMAN. M. Plaetorius M.f. Cestianus. 57 BC. Silver Denarius (3.93g). Rome mint. Helmeted and draped bust right, with attributes of Isis, Minerva, Apollo, Diana, and Victory; cornucopiae below chin / Eagle standing right on thunderbolt with wings spread, head left. Crawford 409/1; Sydenham 809; Plaetoria 4. Lustrous and lightly toned. Superb EF. Crawford dismisses the old idea that the obverse bust shows Vacuna, following J. P. Morel's arguments (MEFR 1962, 25-29). A. Alfoldi has instead suggested Isis (SM 1954, 30-31), which may be closer to the mark. In truth, the identification remains uncertain, since the female figure borrows traits from several deities at once: Isis, Minerva, Apollo, Diana, and Victory all seem to leave their mark on this enigmatic portrait.

Draped bust of Mercury right, wearing winged petasus; to left, I above caduceus / Ulysses, wearing pileus and mariner's dress, walking right, leaning on staff and extending his hand toward his dog, Argus, who advances toward him. Crawford 362/1; Sydenham 741; Mamilia 6; RBW 1370 var. (control). Old grey cabinet toning, with underlying lustre. gVF. This denarius celebrates the proud mythical lineage of the gens Mamilia, who claimed descent from Mamilia, daughter of Telegonus, himself the son of Ulysses and the sorceress Circe, and ultimately from Mercury. The reverse shows the poignant scene from the Odyssey in which the old hound Argus, after twenty years of waiting, recognises Ulysses disguised as a beggar and greets him with a last flicker of devotion before dying. By choosing this image, the moneyer evokes both the heroic ancestry and the enduring loyalty associated with his family's legendary forebear. (P)Estimate: AUD 1000

Crawford 354/1; Sydenham 732; Licinia 16; BMCRR Rome 2467-9; RBW 1355. Almost impossible to encounter in this calibre for the type, with a remarkably well-centred strike compared to nearly all known examples. Highly attractive and alive with considerable remaining lustre. Superb EF. This denarius, issued by C. Licinius Macer at Rome in 84 BC, pairs the storm-hurling Vejovis with Minerva charging forward in a quadriga, a vivid Republican statement of divine aid and aggressive military energy under the Licinii. For the type see; Triton XXII, lot 822, hammered USD 1,100, although the present example is clearly superior in overall preservation. (P)Estimate: AUD 2500

Crawford 245/1; Sydenham 500; Marcia 8; RBW 1009. Attractive deep old cabinet toning with vivid iridescent highlights. EF. This denarius speaks to Rome's identity as both soldier and provider. Roma appears helmeted and proud on the obverse, while on the reverse Victory urges her chariot forward above two grain ears, a reminder that military success and secure food supplies went hand in hand. In the hands of a citizen, this little silver piece was both daily money and a quiet message that Rome's strength fed her people as much as it conquered new lands.Estimate: AUD 1000

ROMAN. C. Aburius Geminus. 134 BC. Silver Denarius (3.82g). Rome mint. Head of Roma right, wearing winged helmet, ornamented with griffin's head, the visor in three pieces, single-pendant earring and pearl necklace; GEM to left, mark of value below chin / Mars, holding trophy in right hand and spear, shield and reins in left, driving galloping quadriga right; C (AB)(VR)I below horses, ROMA in exergue. Crawford 244/1; Sydenham 490; Aburia 1; BMCRR Rome 999; Kestner 2214-5; RBW 1006. gVF. A wonderful example for the type. This denarius of C. Aburius Geminus belongs to a phase when Roman moneyers increasingly used coinage for personal and political self-promotion. As a member of the relatively obscure Aburia gens, Geminus likely used this issue to project his name and family into the public eye, turning everyday currency into a vehicle for reputation and influence. Circulating widely across the Roman world, the coin helped assert his presence within the competitive aristocratic arena and illustrates the broader shift in Republican coinage from anonymous state issues to personalised expressions of identity and ambition.

ROMAN. Q. Marcius Libo. 148 BC. Silver Denarius (3.89g). Rome mint. Helmeted head of Roma right; X (mark of value) below chin / The Dioscuri, each holding spear, on horseback riding right. Crawford 215/1; Sydenham 395; Marcia 1; RBW 915. Very attractive old cabinet toning. This denarius ties an old Roman family to the city's legendary protectors. Roma's helmeted head recalls the Republic's stern virtues, while the Dioscuri gallop across the reverse, symbols of divine aid said to have turned the tide at the Battle of Lake Regillus. In everyday trade, this coin quietly reminded its holder that Rome's power rested on courage, tradition and the favour of the gods. (P)Estimate: AUD 1000

ROMAN. Anonymous. 211-208 BC. Silver Victoriatus (3.30g). Uncertain mint in Sicily. Laureate head of Jupiter right / Victory standing right, crowning trophy; ROMA in exergue. Crawford 70/1; cf. Crawford, Early 195 (for type); Schaefer & Friedman, fig. 14; Sydenham 83; RSC -; Kestner -; BMCRR Italy 139; cf. RBW 297 (for type). Well centred and attractive for the issue. VF. For the type see; Triton XX, lot 492, hammered US$9,500. This anonymous Victoriatus from an uncertain Sicilian mint reflects Rome's practical approach to managing newly conquered territories. Struck on a lighter silver standard and clearly aimed at Greek-speaking areas like Sicily, it was designed to feel familiar to local users accustomed to Greek-style coinage. Its lack of moneyer's name highlights a transitional phase, with Rome prioritising stability and trust in the currency over individual prestige. As such, it is a quietly powerful piece of evidence for how Rome used money as a tool of occupation, integration, and diplomacy. (P)Estimate: AUD 500

This piece is undoubtedly among the very finest known for the type, a level of preservation that is rarely seen and extremely hard to find, and is far superior in quality to the most recently sold example, CNG Auction 563 (5 June 2024), lot 653, which realised USD 475.

ROMAN. Anonymous. Circa 300/280-276 BC. Silver Didrachm (7.04g). Uncertain (Neapolis?) mint. Helmeted head of Mars left; oak spray to right / Horse's head right, wearing bridle, on base inscribed ROMANO; stalk of grain to left. Crawford 13/1; Burnett 18 (Oc/R12); Sydenham 1; RSC 4; cf. RBW 3 (for type). Very rare and in unusually fine condition for this very difficult issue. gVF. This didrachm, struck during a turbulent period of transition in Magna Graecia, captures the uncertainty and fluidity of power in Southern Italy around 300-276 BC. Without a magistrate's name or city ethnic, the coin reflects a moment when civic identity may have been intentionally understated, possibly due to external threats or internal reforms. The anonymity could suggest an emergency issue, regional alliance, or military campaign where the emphasis was on shared purpose rather than local pride. These enigmatic pieces offer a fascinating glimpse into a time when Greek cities in Italy balanced tradition with the pressures of shifting alliances, war, and the rising shadow of Rome.

ROMAN. MACEDON (Roman Province). Aesillas. Quaestor, circa 95-70 BC. Silver Tetradrachm (16.50g). Uncertain mint. Head of the deified Alexander the Great right / Money chest, club and chair within wreath. AMNG III/2, 9.7; Bauslaugh, ANS NS 22, 39.11/57f (this specimen). A very attractive old cabinet collection toning, obverse slightly off centre, otherwise excellent style for the series and struck in high relief. aEF. This tetradrachm was struck in Macedonia in the name of Aesillas the Quaestor around 95-70 BC, at a moment when Roman power was taking firm hold in the region. Although it carries Latin titles and Roman symbols of office such as the curule chair and sceptre, it follows the familiar Hellenistic tetradrachm format to ensure acceptance among a Greek-speaking populace. As such it stands as a clear illustration of Rome's early administrative presence in the East, blending imperial authority with a measured respect for Macedonian tradition. (P)Estimate: AUD 1000

ROMAN. MACEDON UNDER ROMAN RULE, Amphipolis. 158-149 BC. Silver Tetradrachm (14.85g). Macedonian shield, at centre of which is a bust of Artemis Tauropolos right, with bow and quiver at her shoulder / MAKEDONON PROTES in two lines, club between, HP monogram above, ANK monogram below, all within oak wreath, to left of which a thunderbolt. S. 1386; AMNG 165 (p. 55, 4 only noted); Hunter 3 (p. 179); Mionnet Vol. I, No. 58 (p. 456). Very rare variety. Obverse slightly off centre, otherwise gVF with an amazing old cabinet toning. This tetradrachm was struck at Amphipolis in Macedon between 158 and 149 BC, during the early phase of Roman control. With Artemis Tauropolos on the obverse and the Macedonian club in oak wreath on the reverse, it neatly captures the blend of traditional Macedonian identity and the new Roman order in the region.
