Capricorn right, with globus attached to rudder between hooves; cornucopia above.RIC² 125; Calicó 164.Certified by NGC 8538541-001. Described as "Repaired" which we don´t accept as a correct assessment. Part of the dies have been recut / repaired. For a coin with a smilar coin modification see Gorny & Mosch 289/728. This coin is part of a series celebrating the return of the standards lost by Crassus' legions in the terrible defeat at Carrhae in 53 BC. For the Romans, the legionary standards were not simply banners, but very important symbols. For this reason, Augustus sought to recover them, to erase the shame of defeat and deliver revenge to the people. In 23 BC, he met the embassy of Phraates IV in Rome for the first time. The Parthian ruler demanded the return of his son, who was being held hostage by Augustus, and of Tiridates II, his predecessor who had been dethroned and had taken refuge with the Romans. No agreement was reached, so Augustus planned a military campaign in the East to recover the standards and place a pro-Roman king on the throne of Armenia, another bone of contention between the two enemies. When the Roman army landed in the Balkans in 20 BC under the command of Tiberius, Phraates IV decided not to enter into conflict and agreed to return the insignia. These were sent back to Rome and the emperor celebrated the event by striking a series of coins usually bearing the inscription ‘SIGNIS RECEPTIS’ (=the insignia recovered) or an abbreviation on the reverse. In the case of this aureus, only the name of the emperor appears, who, with the same issue, also celebrates Capricorn. According to Suetonius, Augustus made it his personal emblem, using it as a symbol of his imperial destiny, even though he was born on September 23 and his zodiac sign was actually another. Capricorn can be considered the emblematic representation of the terrestrial sphere, as it embodies the nature of earth and water and can therefore be seen as a positive omen of power over the lands of the Empire, both those already acquired and those yet to be conquered. In fact, the globe (earth) and the rudder (water) appear between its legs in the iconography. The symbol appears in numerous works and is universally remembered as the unmistakable symbol of Augustus; it appears on the famous Gemma Augustea and was also linked to legions he re-founded or created, like the Legio Secunda Augusta.

Diademed and draped bust of Salome left.RPC I 3840; Kovacs 300; Hendin 1257a.RareSalome, daughter of Herod II and Herodias, is famous for the dance she performed during Herod Antipas' banquet. The incestuous and adulterous love between Herod and Herodias was denounced as shameful by the preacher and moralist John the Baptist. Herod had him imprisoned to silence these insinuations, but he kept postponing the death sentence that Herodias demanded. The woman then decided to use her daughter and the interest that Herod Antipas showed in her. During the king's birthday feast, Salome performed a sensual dance that so pleased the birthday celebrant that he promised the girl he would grant her any wish. Salome then, on her mother's advice, asked for John the Baptist's head on a platter. The sentence was executed and the prophet's head was delivered to Herodias. She later became queen of Lesser Armenia by marrying Aristobulus of Chalcis, her cousin, with whom she had three children. According to Christian legend, Salome died while crossing a frozen river: the ice broke, the woman fell in, and the ice closed back together, decapitating her. The story of Salome has inspired numerous literary, musical, and film productions. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 4.21 g. Diameter: 29 mm.Estimate: 10000,00 €
