Septimius Severus. AD 193-211. Æ Medallion (41mm, 59.51 g, 1h). Rome mint. Struck AD 194. L • SEPTIMIVS • SEVERVS PERTINAX • AVG IMP IIII, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / [P] M TR P III [COS] II P P, FIDEI • MILIT, Septimius Severus standing left on däis, right hand raised in salute and holding scepter with left; behind him, Caracalla and Geta, both in military attire, standing left; before, six soldiers standing right, the front row holding shields, the back row holding two signa and a vexillum. Gnecchi II, 16 (pl. 94, 7); Banti 51; Cohen 152; Grueber 3; Froehner p. 153. Attractive dark green and brown patina, slight roughness, a few light scratches. Good VF. Extremely rare. A very impressive piece. Ex Triton XX (10 January 2017), lot 786; Gorny & Mosch 232 (5 October 2015), lot 456.Although Septimius Severus is often described as first of the "soldier emperors," his early career was almost entirely civilian, rising steadily through the ladder of Roman magistracies, much like his predecessors. Nevertheless, his reign proved a major step in militarizing Roman government and life. He entered the Senate in AD 173 and gained some early military experience as legionary officer in Africa and Syria, where he served under the later Emperor Pertinax. After reaching the Consulship in AD 190, he was appointed as governor of Pannonia Superior, which placed him in command of Legio XIIII Gemina Martia Victrix, strategically located within easy march of Italy and Rome. With the assassination of Commodus in AD 193, followed within weeks by the murder of his mentor Pertinax, Severus was hailed as emperor by the XIIIIth at Carnuntum. A lightning march to Rome deposed the pathetic Didius Julianus and placed Severus in firm control of the capital, whereupon he immediately prepared for civil war against two rivals who had likewise been proclaimed in the provinces, Clodius Albinus and Pescinnius Niger. Though wealthy and connected, Severus was from a "new" family and relied heavily on the army to cement his power. He raised military pay and showed his troops many preferments, including ending the longtime ban on marriage for regular soldiers. The army began to think of him as one of their own and, after disposing of Niger and Albinus, he suffered no revolts or serious internal threats for the rest of his reign. This remarkable bronze medallion, struck in AD 194 for presentation to a senior officer, depicts Severus being hailed as Imperator (victorious general) by his soldiers. Behind him stand his sons, Caracalla and Geta, whom he told on his deathbed, "get along with one another, enrich the soldiers, and despise everyone else!" Description

He also built the Septizodium, an elaborately layered colonnade that served as a public gathering place and alternate forum, which survived until demolished by Pope Sixtus V in 1588. These and other improvements were celebrated on coinage naming Severus as "Restitutor Urbis," or "Restorer of the City," including this aureus. Description

Only one example in CoinArchives. Aesculapius, the god of healing, is depicted in his temple, which was located on Tiber Island in Rome. Built circa 290 BC, according to legend the location was marked by a snake that slithered out of a ship and into a grotto on the island, indicating the god's favor. Remains of the temple can still be seen on the island today. The Severans all counted Aesculapius among their patron deities and featured him on their coinage. Description

RIC IV 818; BMCRE 811 (same obv. die); Banti 167; SCBC 652. Dark brown-green patina with some red, some light smoothing. Good VF. From the Wayne Scheible Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group 67 (22 September 2004), lot 1621; Sternberg XXVIII (with Freeman & Sear, 30 October 1995), lot 174.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.

Upon the death of his father, Caracalla made peace with the hostile Caledonians and determined to return to Rome. Under the terms of the peace, the Romans removed to the southern side of Hadrian's wall which had recently been repaired by the Severans. While 'victory' was a generous term for the ultimate arrangement, the occasion of the successful British campaign was sufficient cause for Caracalla and Geta to continue striking issues commemorating the British Victory.

BMCRE lists this issue as a note with the caveat 'confirmation required.' All references cite Cohen who cited Caylus. This appears to be the first example known since Caylus reported one as a line drawing in his Numismata Aurea Imperatorum Romanorum in 1760 which appears in the catalog as number 763. Unfortunately, the drawing there is too stylized to allow for comparison to the present example. Description
