Reference: SC 2, 2476; SNG Israel I, Nos. 2900–2902. SPAER 2897

Antiochus XII Dionysus (Epiphanes/Philopator/Callinicus), a ruler of the Greek Seleucid kingdom who reigned 87–84 BC, was the fifth son of Antiochus VIII Grypus and Tryphaena to take up the diadem. He succeeded his brother Demetrius III Eucaerus as separatist ruler of the southern parts of the last remaining Seleucid realms, basically Damascus and its surroundings.

Antiochus initially gained support from Ptolemaic forces and was the last Seleucid ruler of any military reputation, even if it was on a local scale. He made several raids into the territories of the Jewish Hasmonean kings, and tried to check the rise of the Nabataean Arabs. A battle against the latter turned out to be initially successful, until the young king was caught in a melee and killed by an Arab soldier. Upon his death the Syrian army fled and mostly perished in the desert. Soon after, the Nabateans conquered Damascus.

Antiochus' titles - apart from Dionysos - mean respectively (God) Manifest, Father-loving and Beautiful Victor. The last Seleucid kings often used several epithets on their coins.

RIC VIII Siscia 194. Palm branch upright between the victories is a very specific feature, that immediately narrows the search down, and together with ЄSIS mintmark it gives RIC 194 type.

P F AVG = Pius Felix Augustus = the pius (dutiful) and fortunate (happy) emperor, VICTORIAE DD AVGGQ NN = victoriae dominorum augustorum que nostrorum = victories of our lords and emperors (lit. ...which (are) ours), triumphal wreath and palm branch were common attributes of Victories; officina #5 (epsilon) of SIScia mint (Sisak, Croatia).

CONSTANTIVS II, * 317 in Sirmium, Pannonia (Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia) † 3 November 361 (aged 44) in Mopsuestia, Cilicia (near Adana, southern Turkey) ‡ 13 November 324 – 22 May 337: Caesar under his father, Constantine I; 337 – 340: co-Augustus (ruled Asian provinces & Egypt) with Constantine II and Constans; 340 – 350: co-Augustus (ruled Asian provinces & Egypt) with Constans; 350 – 3 November 361: mostly (see below) sole Augustus of the Roman Empire.

RIC 677; RSC 99; BMC 91; Sear 5252; Cohen 99.

Although many coin reference books classify Fecunditas as a personification of fertility rather than as an actual deity, Fecunditas was recognized as a Roman divinity by Nero, who erected a statue to her. Tacitus notes that upon the birth of Claudia Neronis, the senate decreed the construction of a temple of Fertility to be built at Antium.

Fecunditas is always portrayed as a female figure holding a child, or children and often a scepter, cornucopia, palm branch or caduceus. Sometimes the children are depicted standing at her feet. Coins portraying her usually advertise the fertility of the imperial family who issued the coin.

GALLIENVS AVG / PAX AVG antoninianus (close to 264-265 A.D.) Obv.: GALLIENVS AVG, radiate bare? bust of Gallienus right, ribbons not clear
Rev.: PAX AVG, Pax, draped, standing left, holding olive-branch in right hand and sceptre transverse in left hand

irregular 17-21mm, 4.09g, die axis 11h (medal alignment), material: bronze/copper-based alloy supposedly with some silver.

Authority and portrait: Gallienus (joint reign 253-, sole reign 260-268). Mint: Mediolanum (Milan) or Siscia, Rome is unlikely.

AVG = Augustus; PAX AVG[usti]= Peace of the Augustus. Pax or Eirene (Εἰρήνη) is one of the Horae, three goddesses of natural order, in the later versions they were Order, Justice and Peace. Olive branch was considered a symbol of peace, probably derived from Greek tradition of approaching gods and persons of power with this sign. Sceptres, often two to three foot ivory rods topped with a globe or an eagle, were introduced by Augustus as a symbol of Rome's power. They would be carried by emperors while riding in chariots to celebrate military victories. Thus a scepter is a symbol of emperor's leadership and victory, and underlines the military background of Pax Romana, the established peace of the Empire.

RIC V-1 Milan 499; Cohen 739, or RIC V-1 Siscia 575; Cohen 728. Less likely RIC V-1 Rome 256

ID notes: There were three mints that produced this type, Rome, Mediolanum and Siscia. Siscia and Rome can be easily distinguished by field marks, unfortunately absent in this case. Mediolanum is the only mint that never used field marks and thus is the most likely. But Siscia is also known to have produced coins with no field marks. Most catalogues never mention Rome coins without field marks, but there are examples of such on the web. The mints should be distinguished by style, but at the moment I lack sufficient experience to tell exactly one from the other. Thus I would just rank probabilities: most likely Mediolanum, then Siscia and, unlikely but theoretically possible, Rome.

All types have some variations, notably of emperor's bust. The sizes vary in the whole range typical for antoninianus, 17-22mm.

d oval 18-19mm, 3.61g, die axis 12h (medal alignment), material: bronze/copper-based alloy supposedly with some silver.

Authority and portrait: Claudius II Gothicus (reign 268-270). Mint: Mediolanum (Milan).

P F AVG = Pius Felix Augustus = the pius (dutiful) and fortunate (happy) emperor. PAX AVG(usti)= the Peace of the Augustus. Pax or Eirene (Εἰρήνη) is one of the Horae, three goddesses of natural order, in the later versions they were Order, Justice and Peace. Olive branch was considered a symbol of peace, probably derived from Greek tradition of approaching gods and persons of power with this sign. Scepters, often two to three foot ivory rods topped with a globe or an eagle, were introduced by Augustus as a symbol of Rome's power. They would be carried by emperors while riding in chariots to celebrate military victories. Thus a scepter is a symbol of emperor's leadership and victory, and underlines the military background of Pax Romana, the established peace of the Empire. T probably means officina 3.

RIC V-1 Milan 157; Sear 11356.

ID straightforward. Variations of this type are minimal. If the bust is described as draped and/or cuirassed is more about the design interpretation than actual difference, the examples look much more alike than for Gallienus coins. The mintmark may be missing, or Г instead of T (still representing the 3d officina of Mediolanum). Size is mostly close to 19mm.

From Numiswiki:
"Having to contest the crown with his competitor Vitellius, whom he three times defeated, Otho was vanquished in his turn at the battle of Bedriacum and rather than be the coccasion of further bloodshed in civil war, he preferred making the sacrifice of his life, and with a frimness wholly unlooked for from so effeminately luxurious a character,deliberately slew himself with his own hand. He died on the 16th of April 69 AD, in the 37th year of his age, having reigned only ninety-five days."
