R/ Coccodrillo stante a dx. - RIC I 545 AG (g 3,71) RRR Moneta testimone di uno dei più importanti momenti storici della Roma repubblicana. Il 2 settembre del 31 a.C. ebbe luogo una delle battaglie che avrebbe cambiato il corso degli eventi del mondo antico, ovvero la battaglia di Azio, in cui avvenne la sconfitta definitiva di Marco Antonio e Cleopatra da parte di Ottaviano. Questo evento mise fine all’epoca tolemaica e portò anche all’annessione dell’Egitto come provincia romana, come si può osservare dal R/ di questa moneta, dove compaiono le parole “AEGVPTO CAPTA”, ovvero “Egitto catturato”. Di questa moneta esistono due versioni: una in cui dietro alla testa di Augusto troviamo un lituo, identificato dagli studiosi come simbolo di una possibile zecca italiana tra Brindisi e Roma; e un’altra tipologia con un piccolo capricorno sotto il collo di Augusto, come quella qui rappresentata. Conservazione eccezionale per la tipologia. Un vero gioiello numismatico. SHIPPING TO ITALY ONLY! SPL-FDC

Concordia, with foot set upon eagle-headed prow, seated facing on leonine throne, head right, holding sceptre and globus.RIC 45d.9; Depeyrot 33/3.Theodosius I, called "the Great" by Christian writers, was of Spanish origin. His father was a magister equitum who fell into disgrace under Valentinian I and was later executed by Gratian. However, Theodosius' military exploits in Britain against the Alamanni and Sarmati, and in Africa against the usurper Firmus, induced Gratian to elevate him to the rank of Augustus of the East in 379, to give him control of Thrace, Dacia and Macedonia. Theodosius managed to prevent another war against the Huns and Visigoths by signing an agreement in 382, allowing them to settle in Thrace on condition that they fight for him. The need to pay these mercenaries caused a considerable tax increase for the Romans, but it proved to be a successful move. Upon Gratian's death, the usurper of Britain, Magnus Maximus, marched into Italy and threatened the throne of Valentinian II. Theodosius married Valentinian II's sister, Galla, and succeeded in defeating Magnus Maximus in 388 with troops from the Visigoths and Huns. Another threat, however, was posed by Arbogaste, a Frankish general, who was able to put Eugenius on the Western throne instead of Valentinian II. Theodosius refused to recognize his position and appointed his son, Honorius, as Augustus of the West, inducing Eugenius to invade Italy and start a war. Eugenius and Arbogaste were defeated at the Frigidus River in 394, and Theodosius became sole Augustus of the entire empire, but he died shortly thereafter in Mediolanum. His funeral was celebrated by Bishop Ambrose, and the body was transported to Constantinople, where the consecratio took place. Theodosius is remembered as a fervent believer in the Nicene faith and for issuing the Edict of Thessalonica, by which he attempted to end theological disputes. He also made Christianity the sole state religion in 380, declaring Arians and devotees of other movements heretics. In 392 he banned the pagan religion. Condition: Extremely fine.Weight: 4.48 g.

Valentinian standing facing, head right, holding labarum with cross on banner and Victory on globe.RIC 3d.2; Depeyrot 20/2.Flavius Julius Valens was the younger brother of Valentinian I. After serving as protector domesticus (personal guard) of Julian II and Jovian, he immediately became emperor of the East in 364 thanks to his brother who was already Augustus of the West, although the two differed in faith. Valens in fact was an Arian, while Valentinian was a Nicene Christian. The first problem was presented by the usurper Procopius, comes of Antioch, who proclaimed himself Augustus of the East in 365. Valens defeated him, sentenced him to death and struck with damnatio memoriae. He later faced the Visigoths and a second conspiracy, hatched by Theodore of Antioch. In 374 Valens celebrated the decennalia and became Maximus Augustus in 375 on the death of his brother, after which he organized an expedition against the Persians that proved unsuccessful, forcing him to sign an unfavorable peace. Another problem was the confluence of Ostrogoths and Visigoths into Roman territory across the Danube because of the advance of the Huns. The Romans were forced to accept them, but this integration was not easy; the Visigoths felt oppressed and exploited as a labor-power, resulting in an insurrection. Valens, considered a general of little ability by his contemporaries, was thus induced to recruit Goth mercenaries, with the risk that they would end up allied with his enemies. In fact, a large contingent of Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Huns, and Alamanni joined forces to fight the Romans and achieved a decisive victory at Hadrianopolis (Thrace) in 378. The tremendous defeat was caused by Gratian, who was meanwhile on the Western throne and did not arrive in time with his troops. Valens died in the battle but the Goths failed to conquer Constantinople. According to Ambrose, bishop of Mediolanum, the defeat at Hadrianopolis heralded the fall of the empire and the end of the world. Condition: Extremely fine.Weight: 4.46 g.
