Health (Hygieia or Salus)

Hygieia (also Hygiea or Hygeia, in Latin Hygea or Hygia), was the daughter of Aesculapius, the god of medicine and healing, and Epione, the goddess of soothing of pain. She was the goddess of health, cleanliness and sanitation. While her father was more directly associated with healing, she was associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health. Her name is the source of the word "hygiene." She was imported by the Romans as the Goddess Valetudo, the goddess of personal health, but over time she was increasingly identified with the ancient Italian goddess of social welfare, Salus.

Anthemius, 12 April 467 - 11 July 472

|Anthemius|, |Anthemius,| |12| |April| |467| |-| |11| |July| |472||solidus|
During the reign of Anthemius, dies were sometimes shared between the mints at Rome, Milan and Ravenna. This variant of an extremely rare type minted at Milan appears to have a re-engraved mint mark. The only other known example of this variant is in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection.

Magnentius, 18 January 350 - 10 August 353 A.D.

|Magnentius|, |Magnentius,| |18| |January| |350| |-| |10| |August| |353| |A.D.||reduced| |double| |maiorina|
"I am the alpha and the omega" is an appellation of Jesus in the Book of Revelation (verses 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13). Alpha (A) and omega (Ω) are respectively the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. This would be similar to referring to someone in English as the "A and Z." Thus, twice when the title appears it is further clarified with the additional title "the beginning and the end" (Revelation 21:6, 22:13). The first and last letters of the Greek alphabet were used because the Book of Revelation was originally written in Greek.
SH34852. Bronze reduced double maiorina, RIC VIII Trier 320 (without pellet in ex) or 323 (with pellet in ex.), VF, weight 6.842 g, maximum diameter 25.7 mm, die axis 180o, Treveri (Trier, Germany) mint, 352 - 353 A.D.; obverse D N MAGNENTIVS P F AVG, bare-headed, draped, and cuirassed bust right; reverse SALVS DD NN AVG ET CAES (the salvation of our noble emperor and caesar), large Christogram flanked by A Ω, TRP(pellet?) in exergue; SOLD

|Counterfeits|, |Nerva,| |18| |September| |96| |-| |25| |January| |98| |A.D.,| |Ancient| |Counterfeit||denarius|
Small bumps are often found on fouree denarii. They are normally about 2-3 mm in diameter, sometimes open revealing rich copper salts or, after cleaning, the copper core. These bumps are created by chemical reactions ocurring in between the copper core and the silver plate. The bump on this coin is by far the largest we have seen.

RIC II 20, RSC II 134, BMCRE III 48 (official, Rome mint), F, weight 3.019 g, maximum diameter 17.1 mm, die axis 270o, illegal mint, after 97 A.D.; obverse IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P COS III P P, laureate head right; reverse SALVS PVBLICA (health of the public), Salus seated left, heads of grain in right, left elbow on throne; SOLD
