Ex Roma Numismatics Ltd., E-Sale 95, 13 April 2022, lot 268.

Although RPC includes this very rare type in its catalogue, it is noted that the identification of the portrait as Augustus is 'extremely uncertain' and that the date, being dependant on this identification, is also questionable. It could be that the coin is an earlier issue, as it is similar in arrangement to a type with the Pilei of the Dioskouroi flanking the ethnic in a wreath (cf. SNG von Aulock 3465 and SNG Copenhagen 160).

Ex Gorny & Mosch 240, 10 October 2016, 533.

This beautiful dynastic aureus of Septimius Severus depicts the emperor with his two sons and co-rulers Caracalla and Geta riding on horseback to left on the reverse. The coin was issued in the year 210 when the three emperors were waging war against Caledonian tribes in Britannia. The legend propagates the 'bravery of the Augusti', implying the unity of the imperial family - a dream that would soon come to an end with the death of Septimius Severus on February 4, 211. His two sons, who couldn't stand each other, soon engaged in a bitter struggle for power, in which Geta came up short and was slain in December of the same year in the arms of their shared mother, Julia Domna.

Estimate: 7500 CHF
