| Lot description: Mark Antony, 44-30 BC. Denarius (Silver, 18 mm, 3.52 g, 2 h), military mint moving with Mark Antony (Patrae?), 32-31 BC. [ANT•AVG]•III•VIR•R•P•C Galley right, with scepter tied with fillet on prow. Rev. [CHORTIS S]PECVLATORVM Aquila between two signa. Babelon (Antonia) 103. Crawford 544/12. RBW 1837. Sydenham 1214. Areas of weakness and with two banker's marks on the obverse, otherwise, good fine. From an American collection, ex Leu Web Auction 24, 3-5 December 2022, 2605, and previously from a European collection, formed before 2011. The 'Cohors Speculatorum' was a special army unit created by Antony, consisting of the so-called speculatores, men who served as spies, scouts, messengers, and explorers. Normally, each legion had ten such speculatores, but by forming a separate cohort, Antony had a cadre of such men at his direct disposal, no luxury in times of bitter civil strife. The function continued to exist under the Empire, where the speculatores served as messengers and bodyguards to Rome's emperors and generals. Curiously, the aquilae on the reverse of Antony's denarii are decorated with wreaths and prows. The latter in particular may refer to their task of manning the turrets on war galleys as lookouts. Starting price: 50 CHF |  |
