Sexto Pompeyo. Denario. 45-44 a.C. Hispania. (Ffc-24). (Cal-1159). (Craw-477/1b). Anv.: Cabeza descubierta a derecha, alrededor SEX MAGN IMP SAL . Rev.: La Piedad en pie a izquierda con cetro y rama de laurel, detrás PIETAS. Ag. 3,78 g. Erosiones superficiales, aun así buen ejemplar. Muy raro . EBC-. Est...1500,00. Denario similar al anterior que se diferencia principalmente en las leyendas del anverso que dicen: SEX MAGN(VM) IMP SAL. El titulo de Magnus le pertenece a Sexto Pompeyo por derecho de herencia (de su padre Pompeyo el Grande). Las palabras abreviadas IMP SAL pueden ser interpretadas como imperator salutatus título que ostentaba Sexto Pompeyo. Dadas las condiciones de precariedad con las que fueron batidos estos denarios, nos parece que el que ofrecemos es un magnífico exponente de calidad.
ENGLISH: Sextus Pompey. Denarius. 45-44 BC. Hispania (Ffc-24). (Cal-1159). (Craw-477 / 1b). Obv.: Uncovered head right, SEX MAGN IMP SAL around. Rev.: Pietas standing to left, with scepter and laurel branch; behind, PIETAS. Ag. 3.78 g. Surperficial erosions,but, still, a good piece. Very rare. EBC-. Denarius similar to the previous one. The main difference is in the legends of the obverse that say: SEX MAGN (VM) IMP SAL. The title of Magnus belongs to Sextus Pompey by inheritance right (of his father Pompey the Great). The abbreviated words IMP SAL can be interpreted as 'imperator salutatus', title that Sextus Pompey held. Given the precarious conditions in which these denarius were churned, it seems to us that the one we offer is a magnificent specimen of quality. Description
