| Lot description: Man. Acilius Glabrio, 49 BC. Denarius (Silver, 19 mm, 3.63 g, 12 h), Rome. SALVTIS Head of Salus to right, wearing laurel wreath, pendant earring and pearl necklace. Rev. MN•ACILIVS - III•VIR•VALETV Valetudo standing front, head to left, holding serpent in her right hand and leaning left elbow on column. Babelon (Acilia) 8. Crawford 442/1a. RBW 1556. Sydenham 922. Some areas of weakness and with a banker's mark on the obverse, otherwise, very fine. The depictions of Salus and Valetudo, references to good health, reflect a desire for stabilization. This coin was struck at the time that Caesar and the Roman Senate were in dispute about the former's tenure as governor of Gaul. Caesar's term was set to expire, but he knew that upon his return to Rome he would be subject to unrelenting prosecution from his enemies, so he was on course to refuse the laying down of his governorship. Civil war was looming, and the atmosphere was tense. It was then, in a political maneuver prompted by Caesar, that one of his protégés, the tribune Curio, suggested that both Caesar and Pompey lay down their commands together, a move that Caesar knew Pompey would refuse, thus providing him the justification to keep his command in Gaul. However, while all this was occurring, Pompey fell gravely ill and was close to death. It was viewed as a miracle when he recovered, and there was great rejoicing. It would seem that the types of this coin reflect a desire for both the healing of the Republic as well as a full recovery of Pompey. Starting price: 25 CHF |  |

Crawford 407/2; Sydenham 903; Kestner 3317-8; BMCRR Rome 3389-91; Hosidia 1. Ex NAC, Auction 84, Lot 803. NGC graded AU* Strike 5/5 Surface 5/5 According to Havercamp, the reverse type refers to the great hunting parties with which the birthday of Augustus was celebrated so magnificently in 20 BC. Diana (Artemis) on the obverse and the wild boar on the reverse could be a reference to a Greek myth. The story of Diana and the Caledonian boar revolves around the Caledonian boar hunt, a significant event that was triggered by King Oeneus ignoring the goddess Diana (Artemis) when making an offering. In retaliation, Diana sent a monstrous boar, the Calydonian boar, to ravage the land of Calydon. To combat this threat, Oeneus' son Meleager gathered a group of famous heroes, including the experienced huntress Atalanta. The mighty boar posed a great challenge during the hunt, allowing the heroes to put their courage and skill to the test. Meleager, motivated by his affection for Atalanta, finally dealt the wild creature a fatal blow. However, conflicts arose over the boar's coveted hide, which led to a tragic twist. Meleager killed his uncles in the ensuing quarrel, incurring Diana's wrath. Out of grief for the Calydonian boar, Diana transformed Meleager into a wild boar, illustrating the unpredictable consequences of mortal interaction with the divine.
