Didius Julianus. AD 193. AR Denarius (17mm, 2.60 g, 12h). Rome mint. IMP CAES M DID IVLIAN AVG, laureate head right / RECTOR ORBIS, Didius Julianus, togate, standing left, holding globe in outstretched right hand and volumen in left. RIC IV 3; RSC 15; BMCRE 7-8. Toned, shallow scrape on obverse under tone. Near EF. An attractive example for issue.
Ex MACM inventory MMoCA182C; A. Lynn Collection (Manhattan Sale I, 5 January 2010), lot 332; Classical Numismatic Group 53 (15 March 2000), lot 1612.
Didius Julianus was born to a wealthy family in AD 137, probably in Milan. He had a prominent government career, including several provincial governorships, in the reigns of Marcus Aurelius and Commodus. Though successful, he did not earn the respect of his fellow senators, who regarded him as a sensualist and a spendthrift. When the Emperor Pertinax was killed by the Praetorians after only a three-month reign on March 28, AD 193, no ready successor was at hand. Pertinax’s father-in-law, Flavius Sulpicianus, entered the Praetorian camp and tried to get the troops to proclaim him emperor, but he met with little enthusiasm. Sensing an opportunity, Didius Julianus rushed to the camp and began to make cash promises to the soldiers from outside the wall. Soon the scene became an auction, with Sulpicianus and Julianus striving to outbid each other for the favor of the troops. When Sulpicianus reached 20,000 sesterces per soldier, Didius Julianus upped the bid by a whopping 5,000 sesterces, signaling with hand gestures. The emperorship was sold. Julianus was allowed into the camp and the Praetorians proclaimed him emperor. Confronted by the Praetorian swords, the Senate approved his elevation, but could not hide its disgust. Disturbances broke out throughout the city, and a crowd at the Colosseum loudly called for Pescennius Niger, governor of Syria, to march on Rome. Niger was not the only alternative. Two other provincial governors also declared themselves emperor: Clodius Albinus in Britain, and Septimius Severus in Pannonia. Severus, closest to Rome, immediately marshaled his troops and invaded Italy. Julianus at first tried negotiations, then sent assassins to kill Severus, to no avail. Julianus next tried to fortify Rome but the results were ineffective and ludicrous. With Julianus’ authority in Rome rapidly deteriorating, Severus sent messages to the Praetorians, who renounced their allegiance to Julianus. Seeing their cue, the Senators proclaimed Severus emperor and passed a death sentence on Julianus. On June 1, AD 193, a Praetorian officer found the cringing Julianus hiding in the palace and dispatched him, ending his pathetic 65-day reign.
The reverse of this attractive silver denarius depicts Julianus with the grandiose title “Rector Orbis,” or ruler of the world. In reality, his authority never extended far beyond the immediate environs of Rome. Description

Para estimar un precio máximo de compra para la moneda en cuestión, consideraremos varios factores:
1. Precio de salida: El precio de salida es de 1150.5 euros, lo que indica el valor inicial que se espera obtener en la subasta.
2. Conservación: La moneda tiene una conservación de 85 (Near EF), lo que sugiere que está en muy buen estado, lo que puede aumentar su valor en comparación con monedas de menor conservación.
3. Historial de subastas: Dado que no hay datos de subastas anteriores para esta moneda (0 veces subastada y 0 veces vendida), esto puede indicar que es una moneda poco común o que no ha tenido mucha circulación en el mercado. Esto puede influir en su valor, ya que la rareza puede aumentar el interés de los coleccionistas.
4. Expectativas del mercado: Dado que hay una subasta programada en los próximos días, el interés de los coleccionistas puede influir en el precio final. Si hay demanda, el precio podría superar el precio de salida.
Teniendo en cuenta estos factores, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría ser un 20-30% por encima del precio de salida, especialmente si hay interés en la moneda.
Por lo tanto, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría estar en el rango de 1380 a 1490 euros. Esto es solo una estimación y el precio final dependerá de la dinámica de la subasta y del interés de los postores.

CYPRUS, Koinon of Cyprus. Diva Faustina Senior, with Galerius Antoninus. Died AD 140/1 and before AD 138, respectively. Æ As or Dupondius (27mm, 10.56 g, 12h). Dies likely produced in Rome. Struck AD 140/1. ΘЄA ΦAYCTЄINA, veiled and draped bust of Diva Faustina right / M ΓAΛЄPIOC ANTωNINOC AYTOKPATOPOC ANTωNINOY YIOC, bareheaded and draped bust of Galerius Antoninus right. Overbeck, Galerius 9-16 (Vs:9/Rs:1); Parks 22; RPC IV.3 Online 8345. Brown patina, smoothing. EF. Very rare.
Marcus Galerius Aurelius Antoninus was the son of Antoninus Pius and Faustina Senior. He died in infancy or childhood, before Antoninus became emperor in AD 138; a sepulchral inscription for him is in the Mausoleum of Hadrian. This provincial issue is the only coin naming him.
Of the sixteen specimens illustrated in RPC, a third of the museum pieces are casts or outright forgeries, illustrating how difficult it was for the major museums to acquire authentic specimens for their permanent collections. Of the remaining sales records, most have been tooled to some degree. While this coin shows evidence of smoothing there are no signs of tooling; this is the finest known example. Description

Para estimar un precio máximo de compra para la moneda en cuestión, podemos considerar varios factores basados en los datos proporcionados:
1. Precio de salida: 1150.5 euros. Este es el precio inicial de la subasta, pero no necesariamente indica el valor final.
2. Historial de subastas:
- Se ha subastado 13 veces en el pasado.
- Se ha vendido 12 de esas veces, lo que indica una buena demanda.
- Solo una vez no se vendió, lo que sugiere que la mayoría de las veces ha encontrado compradores.
3. Precios medios:
- El precio medio de salida en subastas anteriores es de 1683.93 euros.
- El precio medio de remate es de 3951.07 euros, lo que indica que, en general, las monedas de esta referencia tienden a venderse a precios significativamente más altos que su precio de salida.
4. Conservación: No hay información sobre la conservación de esta moneda, lo que puede dificultar la estimación. Sin embargo, dado que no se proporciona información, podríamos asumir que la conservación es promedio o que podría estar en condiciones que no afecten negativamente su valor.
Dado todo esto, un enfoque razonable sería considerar el precio medio de remate como un indicador del valor potencial de la moneda. Sin embargo, dado que el precio de salida es de 1150.5 euros, es probable que el precio de remate no alcance el promedio si la conservación es incierta.
Por lo tanto, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría situarse entre el precio medio de salida y un porcentaje del precio medio de remate. Podríamos estimar un precio máximo de compra en torno a 3000 euros, que es un valor intermedio y razonable considerando la información disponible y el historial de subastas.
Precio estimado máximo de compra: 3000 euros.

Ex Helios 8 (13 October 2012), lot 77.
The Stymphalian Birds were man-eating birds that had claws of brass, sharp metallic feathers they could launch at their victims, and highly toxic dung. Driven to the heavily wooded area around Lake Stymphalia by a pack of wolves, they bred quickly and took over the countryside, destroying local crops and fruit trees. They were also favorites of Ares. To complete this Labor, Athena and Hephaestos assisted Herakles by forging crotala, or large bronze clappers, by which the birds could be frightened into flight; then, Herakles shot them down with his arrows, as depicted on the coin type.

In AD 284, during the struggles surrounding the succession between Carinus and Diocletian, Julian usurped imperial authority in Pannonia for a brief period and began issuing coins from Siscia.

ANGLO-SAXON, Kings of Mercia. Cynethryth. Wife of Offa, 757-796. AR Penny (17mm, 1.19 g, 10h). Light coinage, portrait type. Canterbury mint; Eoba, moneyer. Struck circa 784/5. Draped bust right; to left, Latin cross with pellets in angles; ·: ·: ··Є·Θ·B:Λ around / + C·FN·E∂·RF · ð · R·EGI(NT) · around barred Mercian m in pelleted circle. Chick 143; SCBI 67 (BM), 657-8; North 339; SCBC 909. Find patina, porosity, marks. VF. Very rare.
From the Sidney W. Harl & Kenneth W. Harl Collection, purchased from J. Linzalone, December 1999.
Cynethryth, the wife of King Offa of Mercia, was the first and only Anglo-Saxon queen to have her name and image placed on coins. While it has been suggested that these coins were inspired by the appearance of the empress Irene on Byzantine issues, the profile portrait harks back to coinage of Roman augustae. Many details of Cynethryth’s life, such as the date of her marriage, are unknown. She appears to have been active in political affairs until Offa’s death. After her husband’s passing, she became abbess of the monastery of Cookham, where she remained until her death sometime after 798. Cynethryth appears in the hagiography of St. Aethelbert, where she is portrayed as a jealous villain who incites Offa to kill the saint. Description
