From the Wayne Scheible Collection, purchased from Harlan J. Berk, Ltd. (their ticket included).This coin, unusual because of its obverse, has been the subject of scholarly speculation. The obverse clearly shows Augustus as a victorous commander. By 7 BC, however, when this coin was struck, Augustus, now in his 50s, no longer personally commanded Rome's armies; instead, he acted as commander-in-chief, while it fell to his stepsons, Drusus and Tiberius, to actually take the field. Drusus died in 9 BC from complications resulting from a fall. Thereafter Tiberius became Rome's main commander until his retirement to Rhodes in 4 BC. This issue may then commemorate Tiberius' victories in Germania, as well as his subsequent triumph and assumption of the consulship for that year (Vell. Pat. 2.97).

Ex Numismatica Ars Classica 119 (with Jesús Vico, 6 October 2020), lot 7.The son of Augustus' wife Livia by her previous marriage to a member of the Claudian family, Tiberius Claudius Nero was born in 42 BC in the last days of the Roman Republic. Augustus had ambivalent feelings toward his stepson, finding him dour and humorless, but still provided him with an excellent education and an accelerated career. He found his true calling as a soldier, where he spent years in the field with his legions expanding the Empire's holdings in the Balkans and Germany. In 12 BC, Augustus arranged for his widowed daughter Julia to marry Tiberius, seemingly a mark of high favor. But Julia was promiscuous and capricious, and the marriage was a failure. A despairing Tiberius went into exile in Rhodes in 6 BC, seemingly ending his public life. With the deaths of Augustus' two grandsons, Tiberius was recalled to Rome in A.D. 4, officially adopted and granted the Tribunican power, marking him out clearly as successor. From then forward, he was essentially co-emperor and succeeded to the throne without challenge upon Augustus' death on August 19, AD 14. His first coinage issues quite understandably stressed his dynastic connections and the deification of his adoptive father.

Shall we give, or shall we not give. But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, "Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny, that I may see it." And they brought it. And he saith unto them, "whose is this image and superscription?" And they said unto him, Caesar's. And Jesus, answering, said unto them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (Mark 12:14-17)Since Tiberius was the reigning Caesar at the time this famous incident took place in Jerusalem, it is believed by many that the famous "penny" (a James-era English translation of "denarius") was a silver denarius of Tiberius.

Male figure kneeling right on couch, raising left leg of woman laying on her back and resting her head on her left elbow / Campana, Spintriae Series 10, dies D19/VII; Simonetta & Riva scene 10, dies A/VII; Buttrey 8. Brown patina, some roughness and deposits, cleaning scratches, light smoothing. Fine. Extremely rare – only two examples of this die numeral recorded for this particular erotic scene, both of them in museum collections. From the Wayne Scheible Collection.For centuries, numismatists have been puzzled by a curious series of bronze tokens bearing on their reverse numerals from I to XVI. The obverse types on these tokens vary dramatically, bearing not only portraits of Augustus, Tiberius, and Livia, but also various erotic scenes, heterosexual and (possibly) homosexual, or bigas, maenads, capricorns, and other scattered mythological figures. The most prominent theories suggest that they were tickets for entrance to the theater or the games, and the numerals represented sections in the stands, or that they were brothel tokens, with the obverse representing a chosen "product" and the reverse the price. However, both of these theories seem unlikely when one considers that the two seemingly divergent themes are joined by die links to the numeral reverses. Alberto Campana ("Le Spintriae: Tessere Romane con Raffigurazioni Erotiche," in La Donna Romana Imagini e Vita Quotidiana [2009], pp. 43-96) has published a new die study of the erotic pieces, recording eight specimens with at least basic find spot information, most notably a sealed tomb in Modena, firmly dated to the mid-late Julio-Claudian period, as well as other examples found around the Roman world in Palestine, Gaul, Germany, and Britain, often in areas of military interest. He notes that these tesserae are primarily struck in orichalcum, a metal more valuable than regular copper or bronze. Considering the find spots and the metal used in the tokens, Campana suggests that they were luxury gifts given by the Imperial house to important military figures for use in some now-forgotten board game, possibly a variant of duodecim scripta, a game resembling modern backgammon ("Les spintriae et leur possible fonction ludique," in Archeothema 31 [2013], p. 66).
