Coins of the Deified Augustus, 14-268 CE

The most fascinating thing about these types is how Augustus's portrait changes with the engraving style of the period as his portrait is sort of fused with that of the current emperor.

Divus Augustus Dupondius, struck under Tiberius. A pretty much unaltered portrait of Augustus, something we won't be seeing often when it comes to these coins. Struck 22-23.

Divus Augustus under Tiberius, laureate head of Tiberius on obverse, laureate head of Augustus on reverse with star above. Struck 14-16.

Divus Augustus under Caligula, struck 37. Bare head of Caligula right on obverse, Radiate head of Augustus right on reverse, two stars to each side of bust.

Divus Augustus, struck in Spain(?) during the civil wars that took place between 68 and 69. Radiate head of Augustus on obverse. Pax standing left and holding a caduceus on reverse.

Divus Augustus under Titus (restitution issue that takes the design of that Tiberius Dupondius). Struck 80-81.

Divus Augustus As issued under Nerva (kind of a restitution issue, but not really) Struck 97-98. Eagle perched on thunderbolt on reverse.

Under Trajan, another restoration issue of one of Augustus's denarii and technically not a Divus issue but I'm still putting here because I like it. Struck 107 or 112-113

Reverse depicts his bestie Agrippa

Cistophoric Tetradrachm struck under Hadrian, 128 (Augustus is literally just a beardless Hadrian here) Reverse depicts Hadrian holding some corn ears.

Skipping forward quite a bit, Divus Augustus Antoninianus issued under Trajan Decius as a part of his "Divus" series of coins. Reverse depicts a lit altar. Struck 249-251.

Deo Augusto issue, this one is really interesting as it is *theorized* that this was struck as a way to ask for aid from Augustus the god during Gallienus's disastrous reign. Struck 260-268.

Roman Coin - Gold Aureus of Domitian AD 92-94

Obverse: portrait of Domitian. Reverse: GERMANICUS COS XVI. Emperor in a chariot in the triumph accorded after victory over the Chatti in AD 83, as a result of wich Domitian took the title ' Germanicus'.

Domitian (24 October 51 – 18 September 96) was Roman emperor from 81 to 96. The son of Vespasian and the younger brother of Titus, his two predecessors on the throne, he was the last member of the Flavian dynasty. Described as "a ruthless but efficient autocrat",his authoritarian style of ruling put him at sharp odds with the Senate, whose powers he drastically curtailed.

Domitian had a minor and largely ceremonial role during the reigns of his father and brother. After the death of his brother, Domitian was declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard. His 15-year reign was the longest since that of Tiberius. As emperor, Domitian strengthened the economy by revaluing the Roman coinage, expanded the border defenses of the empire, and initiated a massive building program to restore the damaged city of Rome. Significant wars were fought in Britain, where his general Agricola attempted to conquer Caledonia (Scotland), and in Dacia, where Domitian was unable to procure a decisive victory against King Decebalus. Domitian's government exhibited strong authoritarian characteristics. Religious, military, and cultural propaganda fostered a cult of personality, and by nominating himself perpetual censor, he sought to control public and private morals.

As a consequence, Domitian was popular with the people and the army, but considered a tyrant by members of the Roman Senate. Domitian's reign came to an end in 96 when he was assassinated by court officials. He was succeeded the same day by his advisor Nerva. After his death, Domitian's memory was condemned to oblivion by the Senate, while senatorial and equestrian authors such as Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, and Suetonius propagated the view of Domitian as a cruel and paranoid tyrant. Modern revisionists instead have characterized Domitian as a ruthless but efficient autocrat whose cultural, economic, and political programs provided the foundation of the peaceful second century.

Roman Sestercius bearing the image of Britannicus (with Mars on the reverse). The coin was struck in the provinces during the reign of his father Claudius. He was born Tiberius Claudius Germanicus on the 12 of February, 41 just weeks after Claudius became the Roman princeps and he was renamed Britannicus after the conquest of Britain. After Claudius married Agrippina the Younger, Britannicus was sidelined in favour of his adopted brother Nero and he didn't long outlive his father. He died on the 11th of February, 55, just a day before his fourteenth birthday when he was supposed to assume toga virilis and so officially become an adult under the Roman tradition. Nero allegedly had him poisoned after Agrippina implied that he may be easily replaced with Britannicus as emperor.

Stuff I’m selling in an attempt to pay for the shit I gotta pay so I can care for me in-need fiancé - wanna get the financial aspects settled this month or no later than the first of April. Feel free to make an offer on the things listed for sale - I am very open to taking less than the prices listed.

He needs someone to take care of him in mid/late May 2024 and has no one but me. Selling my belongings is going to really ensure that we’ll both be taken care of when I’m with him, but also help me pay for travel expenses sooner rather than later which is essential. The sooner the better, both because I’ll feel more secure and less anxious but also because it’ll more likely be less expensive and there are time limits we have to respect for me to be able to be allowed to travel as planned.

There’s also a book by Ursula Dronke regarding Heroic Poems that lovers of Norse mythology may really dig, a marvel art book, a 2000+ year old Roman coin and a few other records not shown above. I’ll post more as time goes on.

Thanks folks! Please share!

Emperor Vespasian, circa 69 to 79AD

This silver denarius was minted in Rome during the rule of Emperor Vespasian: 

I identified the coin after finding a similar one online: (https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/arsantiqva/246/product/vespasian_denarius_judaea_capta_6971_ad_roman_coin/811001/Default.aspx). Vespasian AR Denarius. Rome Mint 69-70 AD. "Judaea Capta" issue. Obverse: IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG, laureate head right. Reverse: Judaea seated right, in attitude of mourning, to right of trophy, resting head on left hand. This denarius was minted commemorating the re-captivity of the Judean province during Vespasian’s rule.  Per wikipedia, Vespasian came to power following the death of Nero, after an impressive career in the military and politics. Emperor Vespasian was known for his intelligence, sympathetic manner, and commanding skills. In the case of natural disasters, he supported poorer senators or equites. Generally, he was generous towards writers and rhetorics, who were paid 1000 gold a year. While visiting outside Rome, he contracted “undulant fever.” Upon returning home, he avoided proper care and travelled to his summer home in Rieti. One night, after a short swim, he caught a chill and died on June 23, 79 CE; he was 69 years old.

Happy Wednesday, All!

Back in 2014 and 2015, I got to go to Valencia, Spain to work on my film Animal Crackers.

I was teaching myself watercolors and fell in love with the streets of Valencia. Finding time to sit alone and paint (when I should have been working on the film).

One day, at a market, there were vendors and I purchased some old Roman Coins (I hope they're legit... but... at this point... who cares?)

I hope I can go back again one day soon.

Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥

Roman Coin - Gold aureus of Tiberius C. AD 14-37

Obverse: portrait of Tiberius. Reverse: seated woman holding a sceptre and branch, possibly to be identified as Livia, wife of Augustus and mother of Tiberius, shown as a personification of Peace.

Tiberius Caesar Augustus (16 November 42 BC – 16 March AD 37) was the second Roman emperor. He reigned from AD 14 until 37, succeeding his stepfather, the first Roman emperor Augustus. Tiberius was born in Rome in 42 BC. His father was the politician Tiberius Claudius Nero and his mother was Livia Drusilla, who would eventually divorce his father, and marry the future-emperor Augustus in 38 BC. Following the untimely deaths of Augustus' two grandsons and adopted heirs, Gaius and Lucius Caesar, Tiberius was designated Augustus' successor. Prior to this, Tiberius had proved himself an able diplomat, and one of the most successful Roman generals: his conquests of Pannonia, Dalmatia, Raetia, and (temporarily) parts of Germania laid the foundations for the empire's northern frontier.

Coin minted ca. 280 CE by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus (r. 276-282). Probus is shown in the company of Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun"), a late form of the solar deity whose worship had been promoted by Probus' predecessor Aurelian. The birthday of Sol Invictus (Dies Natalis Solis Invicti) was traditionally celebrated on Dec. 25. On this coin, Probus, who was constantly on campaign during his brief reign, is shown prepared for battle with shield and spear, alongside Sol Invictus, who wears his characteristic radiant crown. Now in the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen. Photo credit: ChrisO/Wikimedia Commons.
