CARIA, Stratonicaea. Septimius Severus, with Geta as Caesar. AD 193-211. Æ (37mm, 28.32 g, 5h). Damnatio Memoriae. Philon, prytanis. AY K Λ CЄ CЄYHPOC ΠЄ AY CЄΠ ΓЄTAK C K, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius vis-à-vis [laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Geta]; c/ms: helmeted bust of Roma within circular incuse, and ΘEOY within rectangular incuse / ЄΠ ΠPY ЄΠI[TYNXANO]NTOC Γ ΦIΛΩNOC CTPATONIKЄΩN, Hecate standing facing, head left, wearing kalathos, holding patera in right hand and torch in left; at feet left, lighted altar. BMC 71; SNG von Aulock 2678. For c/ms: Howgego 188 and 536. Brown patina, flan adjustment marks. Good VF. Rare. Portrait of Geta erased, Caracalla’s Damnatio Memoriae of Geta applied after his murder in AD 211.


Upon Septimius’ passing in AD 211, his sons Caracalla and Geta assumed joint rule of the empire. Their joint rule was a failure, the Imperial Palace was separated into two sections and they threatened to divide the empire between them. During the Festival of Saturnalia, December 211, Caracalla tried unsuccessfully to have his brother assassinated. But a week later, at an arranged meeting in their mother’s quarters, Geta was murdered by Caracalla’s centurions.

Caracalla immediately ordered a damnatio memoriae of his brother’s image: statues were removed, paintings were destroyed or, like the Severan Tondo erased, and coins were recalled to have his image carved out. This damnatio was especially apparent on the provincial coinage of Pergamum in Mysia and Stratonicaea in Caria. It is estimated that approximately 95% of the dual bust types at Stratonicea have had the portrait of Geta erased, many of them having a countermark of Roma or Caracalla stamped over his bust.

Cf. BMC 65 (different magistrate, same obverse); cf. CNG E-563, lot 461 (same magistrate, different obverse). For c/ms: Howgego 188 and 536. Dark brown patina with green highlights, minor marks and scratches, slight die shift on reverse. VF. Presently unique.


Three Carian cities - Alinda, Alabanda, and Stratonicaea - commemorated the marriage between Caracalla and Plautilla by issuing coins with dual portraits proclaiming the young empress as “the new goddess Hera.” As Ken Harl notes (Civic Coins and Civic Politics in the Roman East: A.D. 180-275 [Berkeley, CA: University of California Press], p. 41): “By implication, Caracalla was envisioned as a youthful Zeus, so that the imperial marriage became a symbolic reenactment of the celestial one.”

The obverse die used for this coin is known for a similar type struck by the grammateus Tiberius Claudius Dionysios, but not Claudius Nikephoros. Another unique feature of this coin is the reverse legend beginning at 10:00 o’clock, the legend typically begins at 7:00.

AI Recommendation
Para estimar un precio máximo de compra para la moneda en cuestión, podemos considerar varios factores:

1. Precio de salida: 287.63 euros. Este es el precio inicial que se establece para la subasta.
2. Historial de subastas: La moneda se ha subastado 12 veces en el pasado, de las cuales se ha vendido 10 veces. Esto indica una buena demanda.
3. Precio medio de remate: 124.9 euros. Este es el precio promedio al que se han vendido las monedas en el pasado, lo que puede ser un buen indicador del valor real de la moneda.
4. Conservación: La moneda tiene una conservación de 90 (EF), lo que indica que está en un estado bastante bueno. Esto puede aumentar su valor en comparación con monedas de menor conservación.

Dado que el precio de salida es significativamente más alto que el precio medio de remate, es posible que el vendedor esté buscando un precio premium debido a la conservación de la moneda o a la demanda esperada.

Teniendo en cuenta todos estos factores, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría situarse entre el precio medio de remate y un 20-30% por encima de este, dado el estado de conservación y la demanda.

Por lo tanto, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría ser alrededor de 160-180 euros. Esto refleja un balance entre el historial de ventas y la calidad de la moneda.
