0002 Sextus Pompey -- Neptune and Naval TrophySextus Pompey, Imperator and Prefect of the Fleet
[Youngest Son of Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great)]
Obv: [MAG or MA (ligatured) G]ā¦PIVSā¦IMPā¦ITER; Portrait of Neptune facing r., diademed and bearded, trident over l. shoulder. Border of dots.
Rev: [PRAE (AE ligatured) Fā¦CLASā¦ETā¦ORAE (AE ligatured)]ā¦MAR (ligatured) ITā¦EXā¦Sā¦Cā¦; Naval trophy with trident on top and anchor on bottom, prow stem on l. and aplustre on r., at base two representations of Charybdis and two dog heads of Scylla. Border of dots.
Denomination: silver denarius; Mint: Sicily, uncertain location1; Date: summer 42 - summer 39 BC2; Weight: 3.89g; Diameter: 17mm; Die axis: 30Āŗ; References, for example: Sear CRI 333; BMCRR v. II Sicily 15, 16, and 17 variant3; Sydenham 1347 variant3; Crawford RRC 511/2a or 2b4.

Notes:

Obverse legend: MAG[NUS]ā¦PIVSā¦IMP[ERATOR]ā¦ITER[UM]
Reverse legend: PRAEF[ECTUS]ā¦CLAS[SIS]ā¦ETā¦ORAEā¦MARIT[IMAE]ā¦EXā¦S[ENATUS]ā¦C[ONSULTO]

1Sear CRI, Crawford RRC, Sydenham, and DeRose Evans (1987) all place the minting of this coin type in Sicily, but they do not reference a possible location. Grueber BMCRR v. II Sicily suggests Messana.
2This is the date range argued for in Estiot 2006 (p. 145). Estiot recommends returning to Crawford's proposal of 42 - 40 BC. Crawford RRC, p. 521 suggests the period in 42 BC after Sextus Pompey defeated Q. Salvidienus Rufus. Grueber BMCRR v. II Sicily, p.562 proposes 38 - 36 BC and Sydenham, p. 210 adopts the same datation. DeRose Evans (1987), p. 129 offers a time between late summer 36 and September 36 BC.
3Grueber BMCRR v. II Sicily 15, 16, and 17 and Sydenham 1347 only list a reverse legend containing MAR (ligatured) I but the coin here is MAR (ligatured) IT.
4It is impossible to see the full obverse legend, so it cannot be determined if MA is ligatured or not. The reverse legend is clearly the first variety of 2a or 2b, a variety not found on 2c.

spinosaurus4inch.jpg
4" Spinosaurus ToothSpinosaurus (meaning "spine lizard") is a genus of theropod dinosaur which lived in what is now North Africa, from the lower Albian to Cenomanian stages of the Cretaceous period, about 106 to 93.5 million years ago. This genus was first known from Egyptian remains discovered in the 1910s and described by German paleontologist Ernst Stromer. These original remains were destroyed in World War II, but additional skull material has come to light in recent years. It is unclear whether one or two species are represented in the described fossils. The best known species is S. aegyptiacus from Egypt, although a potential second species, S. maroccanus, has been recovered from Morocco. Spinosaurus is often postulated as a piscivore, and work using oxygen isotope ratios in tooth enamel suggests that it was semiaquatic, living both on land and in water like a modern crocodilian.ancientone

Feuardent 13467 var, Hennin No. 476. Pl. 46

Jeton; minted by Ernst Ludwig Sigmund Lauer (active 1783ā€“1829) in Nuremburg shortly after the execution of Louis XVI (1774-1792) on January 21, 1793; brass, 4.23 g., 26.17 mm. max., 0Ā°

Rev.: AMAT ā€¢ AUREA CONDERE SƆCLA (=He ushers in the Golden Age), Justice standing on clouds facing right and holding scales in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, LAUER in exerque.

The reverse legend is taken from Virgil, ā€œHic vir, hic est, tibi quem promitti saepius audis / Augustus Caesar, divi genus, aurea condet / Saecula qui rursus Latio, regnata per arva / Saturno quondam . . .ā€ Aeneid, Book VI, lines 792-793.

Numerous tokens commemorating the execution of Louis XVI on January 21, 1793 were minted in Germany shortly after the event. They reflect the deep impression made by this event among the lesser classes, to whom these tokens were marketed (per Hennin).

Although one might get the feeling that Geta was the good brother and Caracalla the bad, Cassius Dio provides a sobering account: 'The sons of Severus, Antoninus and Geta, feeling that they had got rid of a pedagogue, as it were, in Plautianus, now went to all lengths in their conduct. They outraged women and abused boys, they embezzled money, and made gladiators and charioteers their boon companions, emulating each other in the similarity of their deeds, but full of strife in their rivalries; for if the one attached himself to a certain faction, the other would be sure to choose the opposite side.'

Above "GESCHƄFT ƜBER ALLES" (Business Above All)

The incorrect date of May 15 (The Lusitania was sunk on May 17) was the cause for the speculation that the sinking was planned long beforehand. Kurt Goetz has corrected his mistake in a second edition but because of the reaction of the world public the medal was withdrawn. The British used the chance to edit a great quantity of propaganda copies to blame the Germans. This specimen is clearly an British copy because of the used MAY (insted of the German MAI). But there are copies with MAI too.

Today it is proven that the Lusitania was misused as military transporter.

ex. Haeberlin Collection, Ernst Justus Haeberlin (1847-1925), Cahn & Hess, Frankfurt, 17th July 1933, Lot 2144.2

Cicero records that Plaetorius had been curule aedile (responsible for maintenance of temples "aedes" and regulation of public festivals) in his speech "Pro Cluentio", in which he describes arguing the case of Decimus Matrinius before the curule aediles Cestianus and Flaminius. This particular coin type refers to the Ludi Megalesiaci, games which honoured the goddess Cybele, and were presented by the curule aediles.

After serving as curule audile with senatorial authority to strike coins, Cestianus was recruited by Pompey to help him mint the 6,000 talents (24,000,000 denarii) of coins needed to pay troops for his extraordinary campaign against the Mediterranean pirates in 67 BC.
