Lugdunum produced a small issue of undated denarii in 71 which copied contemporary Rome mint types. Curiously, this is the only Judaea Capta denarius reverse the Lugdunum mint duplicated from Rome. The depiction of a bound personification of Judaea is similar to the unique IVDAEA DEVICTA denarius type from this same issue. Very rare at Rome, this Lugdunese variety is exceedingly so and scarcely shows up in trade.David AthertonApr 24, 2021

Obv: IMP CAESAR VESPASIAN AVG COS IIII; Head of Vespasian, laureate, r.; globe at point of bust
Rev: PROVIDENT in exergue; S C in field; Garlanded Altar
RIC 1201 (R). BMC spec. acquired 1936. BNC -.
Acquired from CGB.fr, April 2021.
Originally, Tiberius struck the Provident altar type for Divus Augustus. The altar depicted is dedicated to Providentia, the personification of the emperor's divine providence. Although the type is commonly described as an altar, Marvin Tameanko has convincingly argued it is actually a sacellum, or small shrine. This popular type was later revived during the Civil War by Galba and Vitellius. Vespasian began striking it early in his reign both at Rome and Lyon. This rare ornate variant depicts the altar as garlanded.David AthertonApr 23, 2021

This is a nice example of a relatively common but interesting coin. The denarii of Domitian which feature Secular Games reverses are very popular coins. One reason is that the reverse of Domitian denarii are dominated by Minerva and many consider these coins repetitive and dull. I am not one of these people. I find looking for the small differences in some of these denarii is very interesting. I have located a number of overlooked rarities this way. I think it is important to remember that the many titles of Domitian that one sees on the denarii are not just random dates. They do in fact represent actual historical events such as victories won in the many battles Domitian had with his adversaries. While it is true that we may have no other record of these encounters, the shifting titles on the coins tell us that some kind of event happened that resulted in the rewarding of titles to Domitian.
As for this coin, it was very difficult to get an accurate photo. I, but has quite dark toning. The photo is not perfect but it is a fairly accurate representation of how the coin actually looks. There are still a few Secular Games denarii I am looking for. A few of these I have seen available, but a couple of others I have not seen for sale on the last 5 years. I would also like to find the Secular Games quinarius.orfewApr 23, 2021

Obv: T CAES IMP AVG F TR P COS VI CENSOR; Head of Titus, laureate, bearded, r.; globe at point of bust
Rev: VICTORIA NAVALIS; S C in field; Victory stg. r. on prow, with wreath and palm
RIC 1274 (C). BMC 870. BNC 883.
Acquired from CGB.fr, April 2021.
This Victory type would be repeatedly struck throughout Vespasian's reign for both father and son, perhaps indicating how important it was to their military gravitas. The reverse legend variant of 'VICTORIA NAVALIS' has been traditionally attributed to the naval victory Vespasian and Titus won on Lake Gennesaret (the Sea of Galilee) during the Jewish War. This Titus Caesar As was struck in Lyon (Lugdunum) and is scarcer than the Rome mint varieties. RIC's frequency rating of 'Common' underplays the rarity.David AthertonApr 22, 2021

Hunlaf was an episcopal moneyer for Wigmund but worked in limited capacity for Æthelred II and Redwulf as well. His regal coinage is very rare, compared with the episcopal coinage.

S.2406 Edward VI (in the name of Henry VIII)Groat of Edward VI (1547-1553)
In the name of his father Henry VIII
Bristol mint under William Sharrington
The first coinage of Edward VI continued to depict the name and portrait of his father, Henry VIII. The coinage was in base silver and of generally poor quality. William Sharrington, the Bristol official making these coins, ended up being found guilty of being involved in a conspiracy with Thomas Seymour to stage a coup, as well as producing substandard coins and falsifying mint records. Surprisingly, for Tudor times, and presumably due to some good connections, Sharrington was let off with a slap on the wrist, with his head still attached,

RIC 756 DomitianÆ As, 11.66g
Rome mint, 92-94 AD
Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM COS XVI CENS PER P P; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: MONETA AVGVSTI; S C in field; Moneta stg. l., with scales and cornucopiae
RIC 756 (C2). BMC 469. BNC 497.
Acquired from Marc Breitsprecher, March 2021.
This very common As features Moneta, 'mint goddess of the emperor'. H. Mattingly believes Moneta in this context can be seen as symbolising Domitian's control of the mint and as paymaster to the empire. A fitting reverse design for an emperor who cared so much for his coinage. The COS XVI bronze issue was struck sometime between 92 and 94 and cannot be more precisely dated because Domitian did not take up the consulship again until 95.

RIC 753 (C). BMC 467. BNC 495.
Acquired from Marc Breitsprecher, March 2021.
This common Fortuna type was repeatedly struck throughout Domitian's reign on his middle bronze. She also fleetingly showed up on the denarii in 82. Mattingly calls this Fortuna 'the special Fortuna that watches over the imperial office'. Suetonius writes that near the end of Domitian's reign on 1 January 96 'The Fortuna of Praeneste, which throughout the whole time he was emperor had habitually given him a happy and virtually the same answer to him whenever he entrusted the new year to her care, finally gave a most gloomy answer - and not without the mention of blood.' The COS XVI bronze issue was struck sometime between 92 and 94 and cannot be more precisely dated because Domitian did not take up the consulship again until 95.David AthertonApr 15, 2021

This unassuming denarius is quite a rarity in 2 regards. First, as an individual coin type this particular coin is extremely hard to find. Secondly, the detail that makes this coin rare is a rare occurrence for the denarii of Domitian. So, if you went looking for D658 you would not find many documented. As to why it is rare, you need look no further than the obverse legend. Note the use of DOMITIANVS instead of the common DOMIT found on the vast majority of Domitian denarii. Legend variations on the Minerva denarii for Domitian are very rare. Another one that comes to mind is GERMAN instead of GERM. Of course, there are a few others that are used instead of GERM but that is a topic for another post.
Many consider the Minerva denarii to be quite dull or even excruciatingly boring. However, if you look carefully there is enough variation to make things interesting. The problem is sifting through Minerva after Minerva looking for the exceptions. I like spending my time this way but others may be forgiven for not feeling the same. As a result, the variations are often overlooked by sellers and collectors alike. That is okay by me since it means I get to find some of these gems, but there really should be more collectors of these interesting coins. It is easy I suppose to become indifferent to all the intricacies of the multiple titles that Domitian held, but these titles are not some random letter and number combinations. Instead, they refer to life and death struggles, forgotten wars, and past triumphs. All of these involved humans who were born lived and died almost 2000 years ago. However dim that past may now seem, we share their humanity.orfewApr 15, 2021
