| Lot description: L. Cassius Longinus, 60 BC. Denarius (Silver, 18 mm, 3.91 g, 5 h), Rome. Veiled and diademed head of Vesta to left; below chin, C, in field to right, two-handled cup. Rev. LONGIN•III•V Voter standing front, head to left, dropping tablet marked V into cista. Babelon (Cassia) 10. Crawford 413/1. RBW 1493 var. (differing control letter). Sydenham 935. Tiny test cut on edge, otherwise, very fine. This type, dated by Crawford to 63 BC, has been correctly re-attributed to the year 60 BC by Michael Harlan, who also offered an interesting explanation for the 'coded' or hidden name of the moneyer on the obverse. These coins bear different letters (L, C, A, S, retrograde S and I) to the left of Vesta's head, forming the moneyer's praenomen and nomen (L. Cassi-), who thus tried to go unnoticed, and to avoid being confused with his relative and namesake, L. Cassius, who had participated in Catilina's conspiracy three years earlier.

| Lot description: Domitian AD 81-96. Rome Denarius AR 18 mm, 3,44 g IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P X, laureate head right / IMP XXI COS XV CENS P P P, Minerva, holding shield and hurling spear, standing to left on prow, owl at her feet. Very Fine RIC II.1 720; BMCRE 180; RSC 266. Domitian, whose full name was Titus Flavius Caesar Domitianus Augustus, served as Caesar before becoming the Roman Emperor. Born on October 24, AD 51, he was the second son of the Roman Emperor Vespasian and the younger brother of Titus. Domitian's ascent to power followed the Flavian dynasty established by his father and brother. In AD 69, a tumultuous year known as the Year of the Four Emperors, Vespasian emerged victorious, stabilizing the Roman Empire. After Vespasian's death in AD 79, Titus succeeded him, but his reign was short-lived due to his sudden death in AD 81. Following Titus' demise, Domitian assumed the role of Caesar. As Caesar, Domitian held a position of great importance in the Roman political structure. The title "Caesar" originally referred to a family name but evolved into a title indicating the heir to the throne. Domitian's period as Caesar was essentially a period of apprenticeship and preparation for his eventual role as Emperor. In AD 81, upon the death of his brother Titus, Domitian became the Roman Emperor, marking the beginning of his fifteen-year reign. His rule was characterized by both achievements and controversies, including his authoritarian style, ambitious building projects, and conflicts with the Roman Senate. Domitian's reign came to an end when he was assassinated in AD 96, leading to the ascension of Nerva as the next Roman Emperor. Despite the controversies surrounding Domitian's rule, he left a lasting impact on Roman history, both for his achievements and the challenges he faced during his time as Caesar and Emperor.
