| Lot description: Marcus Aurelius AV Aureus ROMAN EMPIRE. Marcus Aurelius. Gold Aureus, AD 169. Rome. Obv: M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXIII, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind. Rev: FELICITAS AVG COS III, Felicitas standing facing, head left, holding caduceus and sceptre. Mint State; an exceptional piece, with some incredibly sharp details and a spectacle of flow lines that brings us close to the moment of its striking. From the Euclidean Collection (collector's ticket included). Struck at Rome in AD 169, this aureus of Marcus Aurelius belongs to a pivotal moment in his reign, as the emperor faced the mounting pressures of the Marcomannic Wars along the Danube frontier. The obverse presents a finely rendered portrait of Marcus Aurelius, laureate, draped and cuirassed, conveying both his imperial authority and his role as commander-in-chief during a period of sustained military engagement. The reverse type, depicting Felicitas holding a caduceus and sceptre, projects a message of prosperity and stability, a reassuring image at a time when the empire was under increasing strain. The legend FELICITAS AVG COS III reinforces this theme, presenting the emperor as the guarantor of good fortune and order. The present coin is an exceptional example of the type, preserved in Mint State with remarkable sharpness throughout. The surfaces are enlivened by a striking array of flow lines, offering a vivid impression of the moment of striking and enhancing the visual appeal of the piece. Such preservation is rarely encountered for aurei of this period, particularly when combined with such strong detail in both portrait and reverse. Reference: Calicó-1850a; RIC III-201; BMCRE-489; C.-177; Biaggi-847. Weight: 7.18g. Diameter: 21mm. Die Axis: 6h. PLEASE NOTE: A 22.50% buyer's premium will be charged separately.

| Lot description: Roman Imperial Coins JOTAPIAN (Usurper, 248-249). Antoninianus. Nicopolis in Seleucia(?). Obv: IM C M F R IOTAPIANVS A. Radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right. Rev: VICTORIA AVG. Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm frond. RIC 2a. Extremely rare Iotapian came from the romanized Middle Eastern aristocracy, and his name recalls that of the Commagenian queens Julia Iotapa, hinting at a possible connection with the royal family of that Hellenistic kingdom, later absorbed into the Roman province of Syria under Vespasian. To strengthen his political image, Iotapian promoted the idea that he descended from Alexander the Great, a claim already used by the kings of Commagene, while some modern scholars instead suggest a link to Emperor Severus Alexander. The political climate was tense: Philip 'the Arab' had recently defeated Germanic and Gothic tribes, but the legions were frustrated by the lack of spoils and by the government's indifference. In Syria, the emperor's brother, Julius Priscus, increased taxation and ruled harshly. In this atmosphere of discontent, Iotapian placed himself at the head of the revolt, using both popular resentment and his supposed noble lineage as tools of propaganda. Antioch became the heart of the uprising. The rebellion, however, was short-lived and limited in scope. This is reflected in his coinage: only a few crude antoniniani survive, all bearing the same reverse 'VICTORIA AVG' celebrating the rebels' victories. At the beginning of Decius' reign, Iotapian was killed by his own soldiers, the very men who had supported him and seen in him a hope for change. Interestingly, Decius had reportedly foretold to Philip that Iotapian and other usurpers would be slain by their troops, perhaps a sign of political machinations orchestrated by Decius himself, who was becoming one of the most influential figures in the Empire. Condition: Extremely fine. Weight: 3.42 g. Diameter: 23 mm. Rare Usurper https://videos.files.wordpress.com/m3c2gsZI/a170_194441.mp4 Estimate: 2500 EUR |  |
