Claudius. AD 41-54. AR Denarius (19mm, 3.43 g, 7h). Rome mint. Struck AD 50-51. Laureate head right / Pax-Nemesis advancing right, holding out fold of drapery below chin, and holding winged caduceus, pointing down at snake erect, gliding right. RIC I 52; von Kaenel Type 40; RSC 65. Lightly toned, graffiti in obverse field. Good Fine. Ex Pegasi BBS 132 (25 January 2005), lot 274. Nemesis is the goddess who enacts divine retribution on those who display hubris, or arrogance before the gods. By Roman times she is usually depicted as a winged woman holding out a fold of her garment before her, expressing aversion by spitting upon her bosom (supposedly humans could avoid her anger by making the same gesture). From early in his reign, Claudius employed on his coins a version of Nemesis sharing some features with Pax (Peace) along with the legend PACI AVGVSTAE ("the Emperor's peace"). Claudius's Nemisis coinage starts in AD 43 and probably refers to his invasion and subsequent conquest of Britain, with Rome meting out "divine retribution" on the arrogant British tribes. "The Emperor's peace" presumably refers to Britannia being brought within the Pax Romana, albeit by force of arms. Nine decades later Hadrian would employ a similar reverse as a reference to the Bar Kochba conflict.

Lightly toned. VF. Ex Pegasi XXVIII (28 May 2013), lot 459. Suetonius 5.2: He showed marked respect to Livia Augusta, to whose favor he owed great influence during her lifetime and by whose last will he almost became a rich man; for he had the largest bequest among her legatees, one of fifty million sesterces. But because the sum was designated in figures and not written out in words, Tiberius, who was her heir, reduced the bequest to five hundred thousand, and Galba never received even that. The line of the Julio-Claudian emperors had died out with Nero, but the new emperor Galba still wished to demonstrate continuity with the dynasty that had ruled for the last century, via his close friendship with Livia.

Good VF. In AD 208 Septimius Severus, together with the entire imperial family (his wife Julia Domna and their sons Caracalla and Geta), set out for Britain, where the situation on the northern frontier demanded urgent attention. He was to spend the last two and a half years of his life in the island province and was destined never to return to Rome. Together with his elder son, the co-emperor Caracalla, he campaigned vigorously beyond the imperial frontier, penetrating far into Scotland. The line of their marching-camps can still be detected today by aerial photography. Severus also restored Hadrian's Wall, the northern frontier of the province, which was in serious need of renovation now that more than eighty years had elapsed since its original construction. Little is known of the success of these military operations, though they were to bring peace to the area for the remainder of the third century and an extensive issue of coinage in all metals was produced to commemorate the British victory.
