Very rare and with a desirable pedigree. Purchased from José A.Herrero in September 1999; Ex Scipio Collection, Soler y Llach (10/26/2021), lot 643.

This coin, struck at the beginning of Caligula’s reign, is part of a commemorative series honoring his deceased family members, specifically paying tribute to his father, Germanicus.

A distinguished military commander, Germanicus successfully led campaigns against the Germanic tribes (AD 14-16), avenging Varus’ defeat at the Teutoburg Forest and reclaiming two lost legionary eagles. His achievements earned him a Triumph in Rome in AD 17, after which he was sent to Asia to reorganize the provinces.

In AD 19, amid a conflict with the governor of Syria, Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso, Germanicus suddenly fell ill and died under suspicious circumstances, leading to accusations against Piso and suspicions involving Sejanus and even Tiberius.

His death caused widespread mourning in Rome, where he was deeply revered and honored. Caligula’s decision to feature his father’s portrait on this coin was likely a strategic move to strengthen his legitimacy and gain public favor at the beginning of his reign. Choice VF. Est...3500,00.

Au. 7,29 g. Traces of luster and nice color. Rare, even more with the bust looking right.

When Nero committed suicide and the Roman Empire plunged into civil war, Vespasian was in the midst of besieging the city of Jerusalem. On July 1st, 69 AD, the Roman legions stationed in Egypt and Judea proclaimed Vespasian emperor. On December 20th of the same year, Vespasian triumphed over his rival Vitellius, and his appointment was confirmed by the Senate the following day.

Vespasian’s reign was marked by a series of financial reforms and ambitious construction projects. His most famous achievement is undoubtedly the Colosseum in Rome, an amphitheater of unprecedented size. Through his legate Agricola, he also continued the conquest of Britain.

Despite his reputation for being austere (even stingy) Vespasian emerged as a patron of the arts, establishing a special allowance for artists: rhetoricians, poets, and sculptors were effectively placed on the state’s payroll.

After his death in 79 AD, he was succeeded by his eldest son, Titus. Vespasian thus became the first Roman emperor to be succeeded by his own biological son, marking the beginning of the Flavian dynasty. Almost XF. Est...9000,00.
