P. Crepusius. Silver Denarius (4.06 g), 82 BC. Rome. Laureate head of Apollo right, scepter at shoulder. Reverse P CREPVSI in exergue, Soldier on horse rearing right, hurling spear; behind, V. Crawford 361/1a; Sydenham -; Crepusia 1c. Needle sharp, lustrous and delicately toned. A superb example. Nearly Mint State. The moneyer's family is little known, and the moneyer himself is only know from his coins. This issue of denarii was quite massive, however, with controls numbers reaching DXX. According to Crawford, the control numerals on the reverse form a continuous sequence with no control-numeral having more than one die. Crawford 361/1a, the only variety without obverse control, is extremely rare while the rest of P. Crepusius' denarii are all quite common. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400 Ex Tkalec (29 February 2008), 114.

Ex Teutoburger Münzaution 78, lot 2049. The name of Publius Quinctilius Varus has become synonymous with the ignominious defeat suffered by Rome at the hands of Arminius and his confederation of German tribes in the Teutoburg forest. A son-in-law of the emperor, Varus had been consul in 13 BC (along with the future emperor Tiberius), governor of Syria, where he had sent two legions into Judaea to quell local unrest after the territory was converted to a Roman province, and subsequently governor of Germania. In AD 9, Augustus resolved to shorten Rome's borders by bringing the vast region of Germania across the Rhine under Roman dominion. Varus was taked with negotiating a peaceful annexation, but the mixed Gauls and Germans of this land were not prepared to accept Roman overlordship. The Cherusci under Arminius, along with other allies, betrayed and ambushed Varus in the dank Teutoburg Forest of northwest Germany as the army marched in extended column, having neglected even to send out scouts. The so called 'Battle of the Teutoburg Forest' or in German, 'Varusschlacht', was fought over an extended area several kilometres long, resulting in the total annihilation of the XVII, XVIII and XIX Roman legions in a brutal series of ambushes that lasted for three days. Varus, sensing defeat, committed suicide, and when Augustus heard of the disaster, he rent his clothes and was seen to repeatedly butt his head against the wall of his palace, screaming 'Quintili Vare, legiones redde!' - 'Quinctilius Varus, give me back my legions!' Such was the magnitude of this disaster and the profound psychological shock it created, that the 17th, 18th and 19th legions were never reformed.

I tondelli con i ritratti frontali sono i miei preferiti.

In questo caso la dracma con il ritratto quasi frontale della ninfa Larisa, crea un'effetto tridimensionale del ritratto, facendolo diventare quasi un tutto tondo.

Ricordiamo che dal punto di vista incisorio le difficoltà sono maggiori.
