Phoenix - Symbol of Eternal Regeneration

Naumann 161

Lot # 302 - EGYPT. Alexandria. Antoninus Pius (138-161). BI Tetradrachm. Dated RY 6 (AD 142/3). Obv: ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ϹЄΒ ЄΥ(ϹЄ)Β. Laureate head right.Rev: ΑΙωΝ / L Ϛ (date). Phoenix, crowned with nimbus, standing right.RPC IV.4 610; Dattari (Savio) 2431; Emmett 1419.6.In ancient times, people measured time using two main methods: observing the sun or the moon. The Egyptians were an exception because they used both methods at the same time, creating a civil calendar and a religious one. The civil calendar was based on Sothis, which moves parallel to the sun and, with its sunrise, marked the beginning of the annual flooding of the Nile. The entire civil year revolved around the river and its fertility. In fact, farmers divided the year into three seasons: flooding, sowing, and harvesting. The religious year, on the other hand, was based on the lunar calendar. Each month was dedicated to a different divinity who was celebrated during that period. However, the two calendars had different lengths, being based on different calculations, and coincided again after 1460 years, on July 19, AD 139, when the star Sothis aligned perfectly with the Sun on the horizon. This phenomenon marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new cycle during the reign of Antoninus Pius, and was celebrated with the special issue of a series of coins centered on the Zodiac. All the signs of the zodiac were represented on these coins, but they began with the Phoenix, as it was believed that the exceptional, millennial alignment of Sothis with the Sun also corresponded to the mythical rebirth of this sacred animal, symbol of eternal regeneration.

Tellus standing left, holding plow and rake; two grain ears to right.RIC² 2052.Mother Earth among the Italic peoples and for Rome was generally named 'alma' or 'tellus,' source of nourishment for all living things. She was celebrated on April 15, when a pregnant cow was sacrificed to her. In the cult it was generally linked with Ceres, goddess of the harvest. The association with the fertility of the earth is evidenced by the symbols on the reverse of this coin, but the most usual representation is a woman lying on the ground holding a cornucopia. Tellus was granted the ability to influence human generation and thus control population growth, so she was honored in marriages. In addition, all bodies returned to her womb after death, so she also had a prominent role in funeral rites. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 3.08 g. Diameter: 19 mm.
