Lot description:


MACEDON, Thessalonica. Augustus, with Divus Julius Caesar. 27 BC-AD 14. Æ (20mm, 7.14 g, 6h). Bare head of Divus Julius right / Bare head of Augustus right. Touratsoglou Em. II (of Domitian), 26 (V3/R17); RPC I 1555; Varbanov 4152. Green patina, roughness. Good Fine.

From the Conti Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Review XIX.2 (2nd Quarter 1994), no. 323.

Touratsoglou interpreted this issue as a restitution issue struck during the reign of Domitian, but countermarks found on the coins suggest a much earlier date (RPC p. 298; Howgego, notes to 702 and 705).

Estimate: 100 USD

Lot description:


Augustus, with Divus Julius Caesar. 27 BC-AD 14. Fourrée Denarius (19mm, 3.24 g, 6h). Rome mint; M. Sanquinius, moneyer. Struck 17 BC. Bare head of Augustus right / Youthful, laureate head of deified Julius Caesar right; above, a comet with four rays and a tail. Cf. RIC I 338; cf. RSC 1 (Julius Caesar and Augustus). Toned, encrustations, breaks in patina. Good Fine.

The idealized head on the reverse has been variously identified as a deified and rejuvenated Julius Caesar, Augustus himself, or a male personification of the dawning Golden Age. The presence of a comet above the head, likely intended as the "Julian star" that appeared shortly after Caesar's death, argues for the first identification.

Estimate: 200 USD
