Wonderfully toned, with almost complete original silvering still intact, this coin is a superb MS example of the type, boldly struck on a broad flan with crisp detail and an exceptional, vibrant portrait. The surfaces are fresh and attractive, giving it an overall eye appeal far superior to what is usually seen. For a recently sold comparison, see CNG Electronic Auction 558 (20 March 2024), lot 688, hammered USD 700, yet the present piece is clearly the more attractive and impressive specimen, standing in the very top tier of known examples.

Lot # 10350 - ROMAN. Maximianus. As Senior Augustus, A.D. 305-310. Bronze Follis (13.36g). Abdication issue. Cyzicus mint, struck A.D. 305-307.

Marks: S F in left field, KA in right field, PTR in exergue. RIC VI Cyzicus 678. Attractive golden toning over the partial silvering, with brown and green patina. gVF. Very rare. Struck at Cyzicus, but imitating the Trier mint mark. This issue is routinely attributed to Trier (Treveri) because it carries PTR, yet portrait style and hoard evidence indicate that it was actually struck at Cyzicus. It was produced by two officinae marked with Greek letters, and the decisive feature is the K with the officina letter in the field between the figures, which serves as the true Cyzicus mint signature rather than PTR. This point is reinforced by related Cyzicus issues, RIC 22-23, struck by the same officinae without any PTR. The most plausible explanation is that early Trier examples were circulated as prototypes for other mints to copy, and at Cyzicus the engravers reproduced the model too literally, retaining PTR while also adding their own field mark and creating an apparent double mint mark. The mistake was soon recognised, and later dies were cut showing only the Cyzicus mint mark in its proper position.Estimate: AUD 300

Lot # 10349 - ROMAN. Domitius Domitianus. Usurper, A.D. 297-298. Bronze Follis (9.37g). Alexandria mint, 2nd officina. IMP C L DOMITIVS DOMITIANVS AVG, laureate head right / GENIO POPVLI ROMANI, Genius standing left, modius on head, naked except for chlamys over left shoulder, holding patera in right hand and cornucopia in left; to left, eagle standing left, head right; -B ALE. RIC VI 20. Very attractive light brown patina. Truly exceptional in quality for this very rare issue, an incredible coin in hand. EF. For comparable examples see; Classical Numismatic Group Auction 118 (13 September 2021), lot 1159, hammered USD 7,500, and Leu Numismatik Auction 19 (18 October 2025), lot 266, likewise hammered USD 7,500. Historical evidence for the Egyptian revolt of the mid 290s is scarce and often contradictory. Most literary sources name Aurelius Achilleus as the leader of the uprising, yet the surviving papyri and, above all, the coinage point instead to an otherwise obscure L. Domitius Domitianus as the principal usurper. The revolt appears to have begun in Thebes, then spread rapidly through Egypt, with the rebels seizing control of Lower Egypt and Alexandria. From Alexandria, Domitius Domitianus issued a rare series of imperial aurei, folles and a small number of provincial issues in his own name, asserting full imperial authority in open defiance of the Tetrarchy. The precise chronology remains debated. Many scholars place the rising around A.D. 297, with Diocletian personally leading the campaign to recover Egypt and finally suppressing the revolt in early 298, although some prefer a slightly earlier start around 295. It is possible that Domitius Domitianus died late in 297 and was briefly succeeded by Aurelius Achilleus, whose name is preserved in the literary tradition as the usurper slain by Diocletian after the fall of Alexandria. Whatever the exact sequence, the episode was short but serious, and the coinage of Domitius Domitianus stands as a rare and tangible record of this dramatic challenge to imperial authority in Egypt. From the Titan Collection; previously from the David Allan Collection, acquired from CNG Auction 40 (4 December 1996), lot 1738; ex James Fox Collection.Estimate: AUD 7500

Lot # 10348 - ROMAN. Maximianus Herculius. A.D. 286-305 (first reign). Bronze Follis (9.71g). Siscia mint. IMP MAXIMIANVS P F AVG, laureate head right / SACRA MONET AVGG ET CAESS NOSTR, Moneta standing left, holding scales and cornucopia, star above, B in field, SIS in exergue. RIC VI Siscia 134b. An amazing, sharp example with nearly intact original silvering. EF.Estimate: AUD 250

Lot # 10347 - ROMAN. Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, A.D. 286-293. Bronze Antoninianus (4.56g). Londinium (London) mint. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / PAX AVGGG, Pax standing left, holding olive branch in extended right hand and transverse sceptre in left; S-P//MLXXI. RIC V 143. VF. A very attractive portrait struck on a full flan, nicely toned with some golden highlights. Carausius was the naval commander who broke away in Britain in A.D. 286 and ruled as a self-styled emperor for several years. From his mints in Britain he struck an unusually confident coinage, blending Roman imperial style with pointed propaganda aimed at legitimacy, before he was assassinated and the breakaway regime began to unravel.Estimate: AUD 250

Lot # 10346 - ROMAN. Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, A.D. 286-293. Antoninianus (4.05g). C mint. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / Pax standing left, holding olive branch and vertical sceptre; S|P//C. RIC V 302. Toned. gVF. A magnificent example with wonderful reverse detail.Estimate: AUD 500

Lot # 10345 - ROMAN. Carausius. Romano-British Emperor, A.D. 286-293. Antoninianus (3.81g). IMP C CARAVSIVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / PAX AVG, Pax standing left, holding olive branch in extended right hand, vertical sceptre in left; S-P. RIC V 475. Some silvering remaining, minor deposits. Dark green-brown toning. aEF. For a comparable example of the same type see; Triton XXIII, lot 855, hammered USD 1,000. From the collection of David Allan.Estimate: AUD 1500

Lot # 10344 - ROMAN. Julian of Pannonia. Usurper, A.D. 284-285. Antoninianus (3.82g). Siscia mint, 2nd officina. Struck December A.D. 284. IMP C M AVR IVLIANVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / FELICITAS TEMPORVM, Felicitas standing left, holding caduceus in right hand and sceptre in left; S|B//XXI. RIC V 2; Pink VI/2, p. 49; Venera 4398. Attractively toned, with silvering. EF. A truly amazing coin, without doubt one of the finest known for the type. Sharply struck, beautifully centred and blessed with exceptional eye appeal, it is in our view clearly much finer than the recent example sold in Leu Auction 26, lot 4839 (8 July 2023), hammered USD 6,600, as well as superior to the specimen offered in Triton XXVI, lot 828 (10 January 2023), hammered USD 4,750. Taking these important benchmarks into account, the present coin would undoubtedly rank among the very finest known examples of the type. Marcus Aurelius Sabinus Iulianus first appears in history as a provincial administrator, serving as corrector in northern Italy under the emperor Carus. In the turmoil that followed Carus' death, while Carinus and the rising star Diocletian struggled for control of the empire, Julianus seized his moment. Around A.D. 284 he briefly claimed imperial authority in Pannonia and struck coins from the important mint at Siscia, attempting to give his revolt a veneer of legitimacy. His bid for power was short-lived: Carinus marched out from his western base, probably in Britain, and moved swiftly to crush the rebellion, defeating and killing Julianus near Verona early in A.D. 285. From the Titan Collection.Estimate: AUD 7500

Lot # 10343 - ROMAN. Diocletian. A.D. 284-305. Antoninianus (4.22g). Antioch mint, 7th officina. Struck A.D. 293-295. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / Diocletian standing right, holding sceptre and receiving Victory on globe from Jupiter standing left, holding sceptre; Z//XXI. RIC V 322. Partial silvering toned grey-brown. An example of truly amazing quality, with magnificent detail. Although the type itself is common, coins in such preservation are genuinely very hard to find.Estimate: AUD 250

Lot # 10342 - ROMAN. Magnia Urbica. Augusta, A.D. 283-285. Antoninianus (4.38g). Lugdunum (Lyon) mint, 4th officina. 9th emission of Carinus, A.D. 284. Draped bust right, wearing stephane, set on crescent / Venus Genetrix standing left, holding apple and sceptre; D to left. RIC V 337; Pink VI/2, p. 24; Lyon 617. Brown patina, with minor porosity and traces of silvering. A splendid, very sharply struck piece with original silvering and an excellent portrait. aEF. This antoninianus was struck for the little-known empress Magnia Urbica at Lugdunum in A.D. 284, right at the end of Carinus' troubled reign. Her portrait with stephane on a crescent shows her formally proclaimed Augusta, while Venus Genetrix on the reverse quietly promises continuity and protection for a regime that was about to disappear with the rise of Diocletian. From the Titan Collection. Acquired from Numismatic Fine Arts, dated 1/9/1988.Estimate: AUD 1000

Lot # 10341 - ROMAN. Carinus. A.D. 283-285. Antoninianus (3.87g). Rome mint, 1st officina. 3rd emission, August A.D. 283. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / Genius standing left, holding cornucopia and patera; KAA. RIC 254. Very attractive glossy green patina. aEF.Estimate: AUD 250

Radiate head right / CONSECRATIO AVG, lighted altar; A SMSXXI. RIC V 111 var. (mintmark of 110); Pink VI/2, p. 48. Attractive traces of original silvering with even, superb grey toning. Superb EF, well struck on both sides. This example is without doubt among the finest known for the issue and a truly exceptional coin, comparing very favourably with the specimen sold in Triton XXVIII, lot 6124 (14 January 2025), hammered USD 750; the present piece, in our view, is the more appealing of the two. (P)Estimate: AUD 1000

Lot # 10338 - ROMAN. Probus. A.D. 276-282. Antoninianus (3.39g). Siscia mint. 6th emission, A.D. 281. MP C M AVR PROBVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind / ORIE-N-S AVG, Sol walking left, raising right hand and holding whip; T / XXI. C -. RIC - (cf. 700). An example of truly amazing quality, with magnificent even toning over both sides. Superb EF. Extremely rare, with only a handful of examples recorded in CoinArchives; this piece is undoubtedly the finest known, far superior to the example in Paul-Francis Jacquier Auction 45, lot 1604, realised USD 220, and greatly surpassing the common bust type offered in Roma Numismatics E-Sale 41, lot 980, realised USD 400.Estimate: AUD 250

IMP C VICTORINVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / INVICTVS, Sol walking left, raising hand and holding whip; star in left field. RIC V.2 114 (Colonia Agrippinensis); Mairat, 2014 (unpublished PhD thesis), 595. Extremely Fine for this very rare bust depiction and undoubtedly one of the finest known examples. Victorinus was a Roman emperor who ruled during the tumultuous period of the Gallic Empire (A.D. 268-271). He was a military leader who rose to power amid the empire's fracturing, declaring himself emperor in A.D. 269. His reign, though brief, was marked by efforts to stabilise the western provinces of the empire, especially through military campaigns. Victorinus is also known for his coinage, which played a significant role in maintaining the economy of the Gallic Empire. His coins, often featuring his likeness and various deities, are valued by collectors for their historical significance and rarity. They reflect the challenging times of his reign, showcasing the emperor's attempts to project authority and maintain unity in a divided empire. From the inventory of I.S. Wright; acquired from Coincraft, London, 1981. (P)Estimate: AUD 750

Lot # 10332 - ROMAN. Victorinus. Romano-Gallic Emperor, A.D. 269-271. Antoninianus (4.15g). Colonia Agrippinensis (Cologne) mint. 2nd emission, late A.D. 269 to mid A.D. 270. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / Salus standing right, feeding serpent held in arms. RIC V 67; Mairat 321-6; AGK 21c. Dark green patina, struck on a large flan and attractive for the type.

IMP C LAELIANVS P F AVG, radiate and cuirassed bust right, slight drapery on left shoulder / VICTORIA AVG, Victory, draped, running right, holding wreath in extended right hand and palm frond cradled in left arm over left shoulder. RIC V.4 472; Gilljam dies XXXV/19; AGK 1c. Very attractive dark brown patina. Well centred, with sharp, crisp details, an exceptional specimen with outstanding eye appeal. gEF. Without doubt among the finest known and noticeably finer than most recently sold examples. It compares with Triton XXIX, lot 824 (13 Jan 2026), hammered USD 2,750, and Triton XXIX, lot 838 (13 Jan 2026), hammered USD 3,000; in our view, it even appears finer than the best recorded example at the time, Paul-Francis Jacquier Auction 42, lot 702 (16 Sep 2016), hammered EUR 9,500. This antoninianus of Laelianus marks a lightning revolt on the Rhine in A.D. 269. He challenged Postumus and struck coins in the Rhine region, but his rule lasted only weeks before he was killed by his own troops.Estimate: AUD 5000

Lot # 10330 - ROMAN. Postumus. Romano-Gallic Emperor, A.D. 260-269. Antoninianus (3.52g). Treveri (Trier) mint. 3rd emission, 1st phase, A.D. 263-265.

Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right / Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopia. RIC V 2; MIR 44, 1727f; RSC 1b. Toned. aVF. Quietus was one of the short-lived crisis usurpers of A.D. 260-261, proclaimed in the eastern provinces after Valerian's capture by the Persians. His rule collapsed almost immediately when Odaenathus of Palmyra moved against him, making his coinage a brief, tangible witness to one of Rome's most unstable years.Estimate: AUD 250

His claim ended quickly when the forces of Gallienus moved east, leaving his coinage as a scarce, contemporary record of that short and turbulent bid for power.Estimate: AUD 250

Legio XXX Ulpia Victrix was raised by Emperor Trajan, circa A.D. 101, as part of the preparations for the Dacian Wars, and it took the emperor's family name, Ulpia. Its conduct in those campaigns later earned the extra title Victrix, meaning Victorious. Following Trajan's eastern operations of A.D. 116-117, the legion is recorded in Pannonia under the command of Quintus Marcius Turbo, a trusted associate and close friend of the future emperor Hadrian. Early in Hadrian's reign it was transferred to Vetera, modern Xanten, in Lower Germany, where it remained based for roughly the next two centuries. There, XXX Ulpia often worked alongside its sister legion, I Minervia, building and maintaining fortifications and civic works along the Rhine frontier, and the resulting inscriptions have left modern scholars an unusually rich trail to follow. Like several other legions named in the coinage of Gallienus, XXX Ulpia is also associated with support for the breakaway Gallo-Roman Empire of Postumus, circa A.D. 260-273, though it is likely that a substantial vexillation stayed loyal to the central government and served within Gallienus' reserve forces at Milan. The final notice of the legion suggests a detachment campaigning in the east against the Persians during the siege of Amida, around A.D. 360, after which the Thirtieth disappears from the historical record. Its principal symbols were Capricorn and Neptune. Acquired from CNG Electronic Auction 461, lot 447 (12 Feb 2020), realised US$250.Estimate: AUD 300
