Lot description:


THRACE, Deultum. Philip I. AD 244-249. Æ (22mm, 6.02 g, 6h). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / The Capitoline Triad: Zeus seated facing on throne, holding patera and scepter; to left, Hera standing facing, head left, holding patera and scepter; to right, Athena standing facing, head left, holding reversed spear and shield. Draganov 1626 (O151/R72); Jurukova 432; Varbanov 2999. Fine, rough brown surfaces.

The Capitoline Triad–Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva–are depicted here within the Capitolium, the temple on the Capitoline Hill that was devoted to this sacred Triad. Though appearing very infrequently upon Roman coinage, the Triad remained the most important religious center in the Roman world.
