Victoriatus - RRC 93/1aDenomination: Victoriatus
Era: 211-208 BC
Metal: AR
Obverse: Laureate head of Jupiter. Beaded border.
Reverse: Victory holding Wreath over military trophy. ROMA in Exergue. "MP" in field between Victory and trophy
Mint: Metapontum?
Weight: 2.50 gm.
Reference: RRC 93/1a
Provenance: Aegean Numismatics, February, 2020
Comments: The MP monogram was regarded by both Grueber and Sydenham as a mint mark. D’Ally suggested it might be a moneyer but more likely, two confederate cities. Crawford did not speculate on the meaning of the MP monogram. It has been suggested that MP stands for Metapontum
RRC 93 groups two different styles that could not be more different. 93/1a is characterized with a distinctive head of jupiter with a pointed nose, perpendicular hair above the wreath, and rather straight locks on the back of the neck. The reverse shows victory with natural proportions holding a wreath over a trophy with no skirt or base, but two greaves below the shield. It is not a rare issue, but not common at all. In the recently discovered “VHoard” of more than 1700 victoriati, there were only 4 of this variety.
RRC 93/1b for comparison has a much more rounded head of Jupiter with wavy locks on the back of the neck. The reverse shows Victory as a rather squat figure. RRC 93/1c is of the same style as RRC 93/1b, but is fully anonymous without the MP ligate.
The coin has relatively minor laminations, one on each side, but these are small and in the fields without obstruction of the main devices. Light weight at 2.50 g. Possibly due to the laminations in the flan. Otherwise VF

RIC 552 DomitianAR Denarius, 3.16g
Rome mint, 88 AD
Obv: IMP CAES DOMIT AVG GERM P M TR P VII; Head of Domitian, laureate, bearded, r.
Rev: COS XIIII across field; Minerva adv r., with spear and shield (M1)
RIC 552 (R2). BMC -. RSC -. BNC -.
Acquired from Germania Inferior Numismatics, February 2020. Ex Spink 20120, 13 February 2020, lot 228 (part), The Michael Kelly Collection.
In 88 AD Domitian struck a brief special issue of Minerva denarii with abbreviated legends and austere reverse designs. The reverses feature a shortened legend across field (here just the COS date) instead of the usual full legend begging from the lower left. All the coins from the issue are quite scarce, likely owing to the brief time span in which they were produced. RIC cites one lone example from Berlin. Perhaps the issue was struck in conjunction with a special event that year (the Secular Games?) and are commemorative in nature. Regardless, the mint soon returned the denarius to its conventional Minerva arrangement, hinting that these scarce issues were indeed struck for a special occasion.
Fine style and well centred.David AthertonMar 10, 2020

Extremely rare and desirable variant of this otherwise popular reverse struck at Lugdunum, in which there is additionally a captive at Mars' foot. Only one reverse die of this variant with captive and no mintmarks exists - see also Bastien no. 311 (same reverse die but A2 bust) and no. 301 (aureus). This coin was evidently part of a donativa issue. A coin of the highest numismatic interest!
