Caracalla, 198–217 CEAR denarius, Rome, 212 CE; 18mm, 3.40g. BMCRE 47, RIC 199, RSC 208. Obv: ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT; head laureate right. Rx: PM TR P XV COS III P – P; Elephant walking right.

Notes: Third issue (Jan.) of the joint reign of Caracalla and Geta; possibly struck to commemorate games held in 211 CE to celebrate the victories in Britain. The reverse die has been altered, with XV re-engraved over XIIII. According to FORVM Ancient Coins, “since this modification is present on several dies, it is likely that they were prepared in late 211 [CE] but unused until 212 when the tribunician number had to be changed.” Rare; four specimens in the Reka Devnia Hoard.

Provenance: Ex Gorny & Mosch 108 (3 April 2001), lot 1933; ex Lanz 97 (5 May 2000), lot 743.

The date is difficult to see but the bust style does look like year 2 (LB) could be right (as in FORVM description). See also my other Claudius diobols for style. Otherwise, the FORVM description (see below) has limited value as it is for the type with six stalks and no caduceus.

Obv: Bust of George Washington center. Tellus seated at lower left.
Rev: Blank

Total issue was 123,564. Prior to producing this note, Hoyer & Ludwig used these same vignettes in a similar arrangement on a $ 1.50 note of May 1, 1861 printed for the Southern Manufacturers Bank in Richmond. Subsequently, the vignettes were again used, but in a transposed arrangement on State of Florida notes issued during the fall of 1861. This note is occasionally found stamped in green with a “C” inside an oval as illustrated. Its exact use is unknown. While several explanations have been advanced, none answer the question of “Why this issue only?” A small capital “P” in green also appears stamped on some of these notes, as well as Nos. 8 and 10. Varieties of this marking and others such as CST and GIC exist, which raises the question of whether they are contemporary markings by Confederate officials. In any case, the most commonly seen are notes stamped with a “C,” which increases the value approximately 15% to 20%, while those with “P” are worth an additional 25% or more. There are nine varieties of this note not including markings described above. These result from differences in plate letters (B, Bb, C), plain, thin or bond papers, and “For” written or printed. There is also a difference in the location of the oval frame of Washington’s portrait over the “5” — some 5s are more completely covered. This makes additional minor varieties.

Constantine the Great.jpg
Constantine the GreatFlavius Valerius Constantinus, Constantine the Great, was the son of Helena and the First Tetrarchic ruler Constantius I. Constantine is most famous for his conversion to Christianity after the battle of the Milvian Bridge where he defeated emperor Maxentius. Before the battle he saw the words "In Hoc Signo Victor Eris" (By this sign you shall conquer) emblazoned on the sun around the Chi Rho, the symbol of Christianity. After placing this Christogram on the shields of his army, he defeated his opponent and thus ruled the empire through divine providence. He also shifted the capital of the empire to Constantinople, establishing the foundation for an Empire that would last another 1000 years. He died in 337 and his sons divided the Roman territories.

Hadrian RIC-0541 FoureeRome mint, AD late 121-123, Group 3.

This denarius is actually a fourée - a base-metal coin plated with silver. The silver has partially worn away revealing the darker base metal.

IMP CAESAR TRAIAN HADRIANVS AVG, Laureate bust right, drapery on far (left) shoulder (RIC bust type A2).

PM TRP COS III, Roma seated left on pile of arms, holding long scepter with last hand, victorious (small statue of Victory) in right.

2.7 g; 19.1 mm dia; 5h.

This type was likely intended to portray the statue of Roma that was to be installed in the new massive Temple of Venus and Roma (Templum Veneris et Romae). The boundary (pomerium) of the temple had been laid out in AD 121, though the temple was not completed until circa 135. The plans for this temple were reportedly drawn up by Hadrian himself and were subsequently criticized by the Greek architect Apollodorus who thought the statues were too large for the temple. He was reportedly put to death as a result of this criticism. Unlike in other dual temples, the two goddesses were in separate cellae which were placed back to back. Roma faced West (and therefore faced the forum).

The temple aroused the wonder of Constantius II during his visit to Rome in 356 and was probably the biggest temple, and only decastyle or ten pillar-fronted temple, in the city. According to Platner, the temple was 145 meters long by 100 meters wide. The pillars were 1.8 meters in diameter and the entire roof was gilt. It was made of concrete with a facing of travertine. It sat immediately to the north of the via Sacra between the Forum and the Flavian Amphitheatre (Coliseum) and reportedly necessitated the relocation of the Colossus Neronis slightly closer to the Coliseum.

very rare, VF, nice green patina

This is one of the nicest depictions of the - a bit boring - issues of Viminacium. Decius here looks like Philipp I and the long legend without the cognomen TRAIANVS too indicate a very early date may be before his acception of the Augustus title in Sept./Oct. 249.
