Lot # 368 - T. CARISIUS. Denarius (46 BC). Rome. Obv: MONETA. Head of Juno Moneta right.Rev: T CARISIVS. Implements for coining money: anvil die with punch die above, tongs and hammer; all within laurel wreath.Crawford 464/2; RBW 1614.This type of reverse is one of the rare depictions from the ancient world of the tools used to mint coins. The process of coin minting remained essentially unchanged from antiquity until the dawn of the modern age, when machinery finally appeared. Yet no detailed descriptions have been handed down by classical authors, which makes the images found on frescoes and on coins such as this one particularly valuable. On the reverse are depicted the essential tools typical of ancient mint workshops. At the centre stands a sturdy cylindrical anvil, into the upper surface of which the obverse die was set. The conical object above the anvil, decorated with a garland, may represent the reverse die, also known as the 'hammer die', as it received the direct blow of the hammer to impress the image onto the metal flan. The reverse die, therefore, was a loose element, placed on the anvil each time before striking a new flan. It should be noted, however, that according to some interpretations the object may instead evoke a pileus, the characteristic headgear of Vulcan, the god‑smith. On either side of the anvil are shown a hammer and a pair of tongs, used to place the heated metal flan onto the anvil. This task was entrusted to the 'suppostores', while those in charge of the hammer were called 'malliatores', and with their blow they impressed the images on both faces of the coin. In the Republican period, the Roman mint was located in the sanctuary on the Capitoline Hill dedicated to Juno Moneta, the deity depicted on the obverse and clearly identified by the legend. The epithet Moneta, meaning 'she who warns', appears to have been common for goddesses protecting the city’s acropolis, and her cult, particularly ancient, may date back to the late sixth century BC.

Personification of Gaule
Lot # 359 - 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.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: Very fine.Weight: 3.75 g.

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.

Genius Populi Romani
Lot # 348 - Q. CASSIUS LONGINUS. Denarius (55 BC). Rome. Obv: Head of Genius Populi Romani right; sceptre to left.Rev: Q CASSIVS. Eagle, with wings spread, standing right on thunderbolt; lituus to left, capis to right.Crawford 428/3; RBW 1535.The concept of the Genius held a central place in Roman religion: a quiet yet constant presence, understood as a protective spirit and an intermediary between human beings and the divine. Every person was believed to be born accompanied by their own Genius, who safeguarded their existence and guided them through life’s most delicate decisions. Over time, this idea expanded to include animals, objects, buildings, cities and natural places, creating a world populated by invisible forces watching over every aspect of daily life. The Genius did not have a single fixed form. It could appear as a winged youth, as a symbolic animal (most commonly a serpent) or simply as a spiritual force perceptible in the atmosphere of a particular place. From this evolution emerged the Genius Loci, the spirit of a place, felt especially in locations rich in history or natural beauty. Its favour depended on the respect shown towards the place itself, a principle the Romans considered essential for maintaining harmony with their surroundings. The presence of the Genius is well documented in monetary iconography. It appears already in the Republican period and becomes increasingly common during the Empire, taking on different forms depending on context. There were Genii associated with professions, guilds, the army, the Senate, justice and even the gods, often represented through symbolic animals such as the eagle, the peacock or the owl. Each figure had a protective function and a specific role within the complex structure of Roman religious life. Particularly significant was the Genius of the emperor, regarded as the most powerful of all. Its depiction on coins emphasised the connection between the ruler and the prosperity of the Empire, and its cult spread throughout Roman territory. With the rise of Christianity and the religious reforms of the fourth century, the Genius gradually disappeared from public life and from coinage. Yet the concept did not vanish entirely: many of its characteristics were absorbed into the figure of the guardian angel, which inherited its protective role and spiritual nature. In this way, the ancient Roman idea of the Genius did not fade away but transformed, continuing to live on in new forms within the religious and symbolic culture of the Western world.

He killed the former and defeated Adherbal, who went to Rome to ask for help. The Senate sent a commission led by Lucius Opimius, who proceeded to divide the kingdom. The richest part, bordering the Roman province, was given to Adherbal; the westernmost part to Jugurtha. Soon the two princes were again in conflict and Adherbal was killed (112 BC). Rome then declared war on Jugurtha and sent first L.C. Bestia, then Q. Caecilius Metellus (later known as Metellus Numidicus), who achieved an important victory in 108 BC. In 107 BC, Marius was elected consul and led another campaign against Jugurtha, who had meanwhile allied himself with Bocchus of Mauretania. In the end, Bocchus betrayed Jugurtha and handed him over to L. Cornelius Sulla, sent by Marius, who dragged him in chains to Rome in 104.

Equestrian statue on aqueduct right; flower below statue.Crawford 425/1; RBW 1524.This denarius was issued in 56 BC by L. Marcius Philippus in honor of his ancestor Q. Marcius Rex. On the obverse, the coin depicts the head of the fourth king of Rome, Ancus Marcius, identified by the legend, from whom the Marcia gens claimed to descend and who, according to a legend (reported by Pliny the Elder), was the first to provide an aqueduct to the city. The reverse depicts an equestrian statue (Marcius Rex) placed on an arched structure, clearly identified as an aqueduct by the legend. The aqueduct depicted here was built in 144 BC by Marcius Rex (to whom the statue refers), and supplied water to many areas of Rome. It was over 90 km long and mostly underground. As was common in the Republican period, the designs on both sides are purely propagandistic, aimed at celebrating the gens to which the monetary magistrate belonged, with references to mythical and historical ancestors, legitimizing his personal ambitions.
