Struck during the Jewish War against Rome, which lasted for at least part of five calendar years, these silver Shekels demonstrate a separation from Roman authority. Unlike Roman coins, they bore no human portrait, in order to keep the commandment that “thou shalt not make a graven image.” Legends were written in the language of Jews, Hebrew; the lettering, however, was an archaic form known as “proto-Hebrew,” a form close to the Phoenician script from which it derived. Important religious imagery was the central design on either side; namely, the Omer cup, which held the “first fruits,” the measure of barley during Passover, and the sprig of three pomegranates, used as decoration on many religiously significant items.

The Triumvirs. Mark Antony and Cleopatra. Autumn 34 BC. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.27 g, 12h). Alexandria mint(?). Bare head of Mark Antony right; Armenian tiara to left, ANTONI • ARME[NIA • DEVICTA] around / Diademed and draped bust of Cleopatra right; at point of bust, prow right; CLEOPATRAE REGINAE • REGVM • FILIORVM • REGVM around.

The consensus of opinion on the date and mint of this coin was relatively uniform until the publication by R. Newman, "A Dialogue of Power in the Coinage of Antony and Octavian" in AJN 2 (1990), pp. 37-64. Sear (CRI) follows Newman in calling it an issue from Alexandria struck for Antony's Armenian triumph of the autumn of 34 BC, when the "celebrated and enigmatic" (per Sear) "Donations of Alexandria" took place. Newman states the minting of this coin "must have taken place in 34, the year of Antony's Alexandrian triumph, since it would otherwise be without context." The legends on this coin could be translated as "[coin] of Antony, with Armenia being Conquered, for Cleopatra, Queen of Kings and of her Sons, being Kings." The Armenian crown behind Antony represents his victorious Roman army, the prow beneath Cleopatra (which appears on no other Roman coin of hers) stands for the mighty Egyptian fleet; combined they symbolize the full array of forces that Antony would soon marshal against Octavian.

An extremely rare type with XVIIII, as opposed to the more frequently encountered LEG XIX.


Not to be confused with a similar legion under the command of Octavian, this Antonian legion was either disbanded or incorporated into another legion after Actium. Antonian legionary denarii were hammered out in such great numbers that uniformity in die engraving suffered; hence some engravers chose different ways of depicting the same Roman numeral – XIX and XVIIII are both seen, although the longer form is considerably rarer.

Founded by the Phoenicians in the eighth century BC, Panormos was established along the northern coast of Sicily as a trading post with the indigenous Sicani of the region. The people of Panormos, although active traders like the other Phoenician settlers in Sicily, felt little need for striking their own coinage; instead, they relied upon the regional Greek coinages for their transactions. By the late fifth century, however, as Carthage and its Punic allies were expanding control of the western Mediterranean, it became necessary to begin striking coins in order the pay the mercenaries used to assert Punic power. As a result, cities like Panormos began striking coins which could be integrated into the existing monetary system, and which derived their types for the most part from the Greek city-states in Sicily. This coin copies Syracusan coins of the late Eukleidas style with a Punic twist added to the design.

During the reign of Claudius, Verica, king of the Atrebates and ally of Rome, was forced into exile by invasions of the Catuvellauni, a neighboring tribe to the east. This served as the pretense for the Claudian invasion of Britannia in AD 43, led by general Aulus Plautius, who subsequently served as governor of the region (the future emperor Vespasian also ranked among the commanders). While Claudius had some participation in the campaigns–bringing reinforcements and elephants to Camulodunum–and received a triumph after his return to Rome, he refused the title Britannicus. The success of the invasion was commemorated on various issues, including this aureus.

AI Recommendation
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: 3451.5 euros.
2. Precio medio de salida en subastas anteriores: 11720.08 euros.
3. Precio medio de remate en subastas anteriores: 30884.03 euros.
4. Conservación de la moneda: 75 (VF), que indica una buena conservación.

Dado que la moneda tiene una conservación de 75 (VF), es probable que su valor esté por encima del precio de salida, especialmente considerando que el precio medio de remate en subastas anteriores es significativamente más alto.

Para calcular un precio estimado máximo de compra, podemos tomar en cuenta el precio medio de remate y ajustar por la conservación. Dado que la conservación es buena, podríamos estimar que el precio podría estar en un rango del 60% al 80% del precio medio de remate, dependiendo de la demanda y otros factores del mercado.

Calculando un rango:

- 60% del precio medio de remate: 30884.03 * 0.60 = 18530.42 euros.
- 80% del precio medio de remate: 30884.03 * 0.80 = 24707.22 euros.

Por lo tanto, un precio estimado máximo de compra para esta moneda podría estar en el rango de aproximadamente 18530 a 24707 euros.

Dado que el precio de salida es de 3451.5 euros, es probable que los postores estén dispuestos a pagar mucho más, especialmente si la demanda es alta. Un precio estimado máximo de compra razonable podría ser alrededor de 20000 euros.
