Decio, de nombre completo Gayo Mesio Quinto Trajano (201 - 251 d.C.), emperador romano que gobernó entre 249 y 251. Fue uno de los primeros de una larga serie de emperadores oriundos de la provincia de Iliria, en el Danubio. A diferencia de sus inmediatos predecesores imperiales, como Filipo el árabe o Maximino, Decio fue un senador distinguido que había servido como cónsul en 232. Fue gobernador de la Hispania Tarraconense entre 235 y 238 y fue prefecto urbano de Roma durante el principio del reinado del emperador Filipo. Hacia 245 Trajano Decio fue nombrado comandante de las legiones en la zona del Danubio por Filipo I. En 248 o 249 le ordenaron sofocar la revuelta de Pacatiano y sus tropas en Mesia y Panonia. Los soldados estaban enojados debido al tratado de paz firmado entre Filipo y los sasánidas. Decio cumplió con su cometido. Pero Filipo I era un emperador poco querido y las legiones, concluida la campaña, insistieron en sustituirle, proclamando emperador a Trajano Decio. Aunque éste declaraba ser leal a Filipo. Tras su proclamación, Decio se puso en marcha hacia Roma. En el verano de 249 se encontró con el ejército de Filipo cerca de Verona, Italia, y tuvo lugar una batalla entre ambos emperadores, resultando Filipo derrotado y muerto. El Senado reconoció a Decio como emperador, dándole el atributo Traianus, una referencia al emperador Trajano. El impresionante doble sestercio que subastamos habla por sí mismo de su esplendor y grandeza. Presenta, en anverso, busto radiado y acorazado del emperador a derecha y la leyenda dice: IMP C Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG. Y en reverso, la Felicidad de pie a izquierda, sosteniendo largo caduceo y cornucopia, entre S - C. La leyenda dice: FELICITAS SAECVLI.
ENGLISH: Trajano Decio. Double sestertius. AD 249-251. Rome. (Spink-9395). (Ric-155a). Obv.: IMP C TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG. Radiated and draped bust right. Rev.: FELICITAS SAECVLI SC. Felicitas standing, with caduceus and horn of plenty. Ae. 42.97 g. 38 mm. Atractive piece. EBC +. Decius, full name Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus (AD 201-251), Roman emperor who governed from 249 to 251. He was one of the first of a long series of emperors from the province of Illyricum, on the Danube. Unlike his immediate imperial predecessors, like Philip the Arab or Maximinus, Decius was a distinguished senator who had served as consul in 232. He was governor of Hispania Tarraconensis between 235-238 and was urban prefect of Rome during the early reign of Emperor Philip the Arab. Around 245 Trajan Decius was appointed commander of the legions in the Danube area by Philip I. In 248 or 249 he was ordered to quell the revolt of Pacatianus and his troops in Moesia and Pannonia. The soldiers were angry because of the peace treaty signed between Philip and the Sassanians. Decius fulfilled his mission. But Philip I was an unloved emperor and, once concluded the campaign, the troops insisted on replacing him, and so Tajan Decius was proclaimed Emperor. Despite the circumstances, Decius stated to be loyal to Philip. After his proclamation, Decius headed for Rome. In the summer of 249 he met Philip's army near Verona, Italy, and a battle between the two emperors took place, resulting in Philip defeated and killed. The Senate recognized then Decius as Emperor, giving him the attribute Traianus in reference to the emperor Trajan. The impressive double sestertius we offer in this auction speaks for itself thanks to its splendor and grandeur. On the obverse, it presents radiated and cuirassed bust of the emperor to right, and the legend says: IMP C Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG. And on the reverse, Felicitas standing to left, holding a long caduceus and cornucopia, between S - C. The legend says: FELICITAS SAECVLI. Descripción
