Concludo osservando
che la moneta
presenta caratteristiche fisiche e di stile che non si discostano da
quelle
dei conî d'epoca. La moneta deve aver subito un trattamento
chimico
dopo il ritrovamento per cui ha perso la patina originale. Il suo
valore
venale non dovrebbe superare i 50,00€.
Un saluto cordiale.

DIVVS
AVGVSTVS
PATER. Il Mattingly sostiene che la moneta sia stata coniata
sotto
Tiberio (14÷37 d. C.), probabilmente nell'ultimo periodo del suo
regno, per onorare la memoria del padre adottivo, l'imperatore Augusto.
Di qui la parola "PATER" che allude probabilmente al titolo di "PATER
PATRIAE"
di cui il defunto era stato onorato in vita. Il dritto della moneta
riproduce
verosimilmente il ritratto di Augusto nella statua che Tiberio e Livia
avevano fatto erigere in suo onore nei pressi del teatro Marcello. La
testa
radiata dell'imperatore, mutuata dal culto del dio Sole dei re d'Egitto
e di Siria, comincia ora ad apparire sulle monete imperiali. Si
ricorderà
in proposito che lo stesso Augusto aveva fatto erigere due obelischi al
Sole, il 10 a. C., al Circo e al Campo Marzio.
(3)
S.
C.
(Senatus Consulto, "per decreto del Senato") era la consueta sigla
apposta
sui nominali in bronzo romani (sesterzi, dupondi e assi) ad indicare la
competenza esclusiva del Senato Romano nelle decisioni attinenti alle
emissioni
di quelle monete (la monetazione in oro e in argento, che non riporta
quella
sigla, rientrava invece nelle competenze dirette dell'imperatore).
(4)
L'altare
costituisce
un riferimento diretto al culto di Augusto deificato. La
leggenda
"PROVIDENT" (da "providentia", previdenza) in esergo va intesa come
allusione
alla saggezza e alla vista lunga dello scomparso. Il rovescio della
moneta
rappresenta il recinto e la porta d'accesso pannellata ad un altare.
Più
che fiammelle, gli oggetti rappresentati in alto a d. e a s. del
recinto,
sono probabilmente corni d'altare. |
