Concludo
osservando che la moneta presenta caratteristiche
fisiche e di stile che non si discostano da quelle
dei conî d'epoca. Il suo valore venale non
dovrebbe verosimilmente superare i 30,00€.
Un saluto
cordiale.

Dalla tabella
si evince che le caratteristiche fisiche dell'asse
di figura comunicate dal lettore (10,5g, 26-27mm,
6h) rientrano nei margini di variabilità
dei conî d'epoca.
(2) 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. Gli oggetti
rappresentati in alto a d. e a s. del recinto,
sono probabilmente corni d'altare. |
