Lot # 560 - GETA (Caesar, 198-209). Denarius. Rome. Obv: P SEPT GETA CAES PONT. Bareheaded and draped bust right.Rev: CASTOR. Castor, holding spear, standing left in front of horse, which he holds by rein.RIC 6.The Dioscuri were the sons of Leda, wife of Tyndareus, and Zeus, who had lain with her in the form of a swan. Since Tyndareus also lay with Leda that same night, Helen, Clytemnestra, and the twins Castor and Pollux were born from two different eggs. Therefore, it is unclear which of the four children were of divine origin, probably only Helen and Pollux. Despite this, Castor and Pollux, twins by definition, were both referred to as ‘sons of Zeus’. Tradition presented them as saviors of men and peoples, especially on the battlefield and in the dangers of the sea. Castor in particular was considered a skilled horse tamer and is almost always depicted in statues and coins accompanied by his horse. Condition: Extremely fine.Weight: 2.35 g. Diameter: 18 mm.

Aquila (legionary eagle) flanked by two standards.RIC 12.Legio XI Claudia, together with the XI, was recruited by Julius Caesar for the campaign against the Helvetii in 58 BC, and he himself oversaw their meticulous and demanding training in order to come to the aid of the Gallic tribes invaded by the enemy. The Helvetii were defeated in the Battle of Bibracte. The legion was involved in numerous military campaigns and also played an important role under Septimius Severus, participating in his campaign against his eastern rival Pescennius Niger. They besieged Byzantium, fought at Issus, and took part in Severus' campaigns against the Parthian Empire, which ended with the capture of Ctesiphon (198). Later, during the conflict between Gallienus and Postumus, Legio XI supported Gallienus, for which it was awarded the titles Pia Fidelis V V (five times faithful and loyal) and Pia VI Fidelis VI. The last records date back to the early 5th century, when the legion was active on the Lower Danube. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 3.23 g. Diameter: 17 mm.
