Lot # 528 - PESCENNIUS NIGER (193-194). Denarius. Antioch. Obv: IMP CAES C PESC NIGER IVST AV. Laureate head right.Rev: FORTVNAE REDVCI. Fortuna standing left, holding cornucopia and sceptre.RIC -, 26c var. (Fortuna holding rudder and cornucopia); RSC -.Very rarePescennius Niger came from a family of equestrian rank, probably from Aquinum. He joined the Senate in 180, was suffect consul, and in 183 fought against the barbarians in Dacia. In 188, Emperor Commodus sent him to Gaul against the bands of deserters commanded by Maternus, then entrusted him with the government of Syria. On hearing of the death of Commodus and then Pertinax, Pescennius had himself proclaimed emperor in Antioch (April 193). In fact, it seems that the Roman people had acclaimed him during the brief principality of Didius Julianus, considered by them to be the murderer of Pertinax, during the games in the Circus Maximus. He obtained recognition from the provinces of Asia Minor, the East, Egypt, and the king of the Parthians, while Armenia remained neutral. Meanwhile, in the West, power was seized by Septimius Severus, who was recognized by the Senate. Pescennius, with nine legions, undertook to defend Asia and went to Byzantium, which supported him. Here he was besieged by Septimius' troops, commanded by L. Marius Maximus Perpetuus. Septimius' army also obtained important victories at Cyzicus and Nicaea. This cost Pescennius the loss of Asia Minor and Egypt, also giving rise to rebellions in Arabia, Syria, and Palestine. The decisive battle took place at Issus, where Pescennius was severely defeated and forced to flee to Antioch, from where he tried to reach the king of the Parthians, but was killed in 194. The coins of Pescennius Niger have always been among the most desired by collectors, as evidenced by numerous accounts dating back to the 17th century, which considered his issues to be among the rarest and most prized.

Marcomannic War Issue

Trophy between two bound and seated captives.RIC 1568a (Aurelius).Rare bust type for issueThe Marcomannic Wars (AD 166–180) were among the most critical moments faced by the Roman Empire: a long and exhausting conflict that severely tested Rome’s political, economic and military stability. Marcus Aurelius confronted a wave of barbarian invasions that swept across the Danube and reached Italy itself, further aggravated by a devastating epidemic arriving from the East. After the dangerous usurpation attempt by Avidius Cassius, Marcus Aurelius decided in AD 177 to associate his young son Commodus with imperial power. This choice broke with the tradition of the Antonine dynasty, which had always adopted the “best man” as successor, and was seen as an act driven by paternal affection and by a quasi‑sacred idea of dynastic continuity. Commodus accompanied his father to the Danubian front during the final years of the conflict. The Roman armies achieved fresh victories, and in AD 179–180 they wintered deep within enemy territory. It was a moment when the war finally seemed to be turning decisively in Rome’s favour. But on 17 March AD 180 Marcus Aurelius died at Vindobona. Only a few weeks later, Commodus brought the war to an end by concluding peace. Ancient sources, often hostile to Commodus, describe the treaties as “ignominious”, accusing him of having signed them for frivolous reasons: a desire to return to the comforts of Rome and a dislike of the Danubian climate. Yet it is unlikely that the young emperor acted against the advice of all his generals and counsellors. There existed a genuine “peace party”, aware that although the barbarians were exhausted, Rome too was worn out. In other words, Commodus’ peace was not necessarily an act of weakness but a decision shaped by political realism: the principal objective — securing the frontier — had been achieved, and continuing the war would have further drained an empire already strained by epidemics, economic difficulties and internal tensions Condition: Very fine.Weight: 13.08 g.
