Lot 3060 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 C. Coelius Caldus. Silver Denarius (3.97 g), 53 BC. Rome. C COEL CALDVS, COS below, head of the consul C. Coelius Caldus right; behind, tablet inscribed L D. Reverse CALDVS III VIR, radiate head of Sol right; behind, oval shield; before, round shield. Crawford 437/1a; Sydenham 891; Coelia 4. Boldly struck and unusually well centered for this rare issue. A superb example and lustrous. Both portraits are outstanding! Nearly Mint State. C. Coelius Caldus issued two coin types during his tenure as moneyer, and both depict on the obverse the head of his namesake ancestor who was the first of his family to attain the consulship. Toynbee noted the extremely realistic rendering of the portrait and thought it must have been based on an original portrait (J. M. C. Toynbee, Roman Historical Portraits, p. 21). In Rome, nobles were entitled to display images (imagines) of ancestors in the atrium of the family house, and these were either sculptures, more often, death masks molded directly from the face of the deceased. The superb lifelike rendering of the portrait of the consul C. Coelius Caldus on this coin indicates that perhaps his death mask served as the model used by the die engravers for this issue. Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000. Ex NAC 45 (2 April 2008), 14; Triton I (2-3 December 1997), 1200. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Lot 3032 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 C. Naevius Balbus. Silver Denarius (3.81 g), 79 BC. Rome. S C behind, diademed head of Venus right; before, B. Reverse C N(AE) B(AL)B in exergue, Victory, holding reins, driving galloping triga right. Crawford 382/1a; Sydenham 769; Naevia 6b. Well struck, perfectly centered and lustrous. Nearly Mint State. The moneyer is unattested other than on this special coinage authorized by senatorial decree (ex senatus consulto), which should most probably be viewed as another issue to finance operations in the the Sertorian War in Spain. The triga depicted on the reverse is most interesting. At the time this coin was struck it was already an archaic convention, Homeric in origin, originally borrowed from the Greeks and used in Rome only during the ludi Romani, the games celebrating the Roman victory at Lake Regillus. It appears only one other time during the Republican period, on coins struck 111-110 BC under the moneyers Appius Claudius Pulcher, T. Manlius Mancius, and Q. Urbinius. Estimated Value $500 - 600.

Lot 3062 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 Mn. Acilius Glabrio. Silver Denarius (3.91 g), 49 BC. Rome. SALVTIS, laureate head of Salus right. Reverse MN ACILIVS III VIR VALE[TV], Valetudo standing left, holding serpent and resting arm on column. Crawford 442/1a; Sydenham 922; Acilia 8. Virtually as struck with lustrous surfaces. Nearly Mint State. Salus and Valetudo are both goddesses of good health, and here they possibly signify the relief and gratitude of the moneyer and the people of Rome for the recovery of Pompey the Great, who had fallen gravely ill the year before. Estimated Value $800 - 900. Ex NAC 46 (2 April 2008), 407. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Lot 3064 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 L. Cornelius Lentulus and C. Claudius Marcellus. Silver Denarius (4.00 g), 49 BC. Military mint traveling in the East. Triskeles, with winged head of Medusa facing at center and ear of grain between each leg. Reverse [L]E(NT) (MAR) COS, Jupiter standing facing, head right, holding thunderbolt and eagle; in right field, harpa. Crawford 445/1a; HCRI 4; Sydenham 1029a; Cornelia 64. Rare. Well struck with lustrous surfaces and delicately toned. Superb Extremely Fine. Struck under the exiled consuls, Lentulus and Marcellus, the types reference both family history and Roman power. The issue has traditionally been assigned to a mint operating in Sicily, but the hurried nature of the Pompeian withdrawal from Brundisium to Greece suggests it was struck somewhere in the East. The obverse recalls that it was M. Claudius Marcellus, the ancestor of the current consul, who conquered Syracuse in 211 BC. The reverse depicts Jupiter, the chief deity of the Roman pantheon and thus a symbol of unity, and may copy the famous statue of Zeus Eleutherius by Myron. Jupiter appears on all the joint issues of the Lentulus and Marcellus. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000. Ex Elsen 97 (13 September 2008), 201; Crédit Suisse 3 (19 April 1985), 419.

Well centered and delicately toned. Superb Extremely Fine. Similar to the control for the denarius of C. Coelius Caldus above, the controls found on the denarii of L. Julius L.f. Caesar are the letters of the Latin alphabet (only through S) either alone or found accompanied by one or two pellets. The same control mark that is found on the obverse invariably appears on the reverse also, and no pair of controls has more than one pair of dies. Estimated Value $800 - 900.

Lot 3066 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 L. Cornelius Lentulus and C. Claudius Marcellus. Silver Denarius (3.98 g), 49 BC. Apollonia. L LE(NT) C (MA) RC COS, Laureate head of Apollo right. Reverse Jupiter standing facing, head right, before garlanded altar, holding thunderbolt and eagle; in left field, star above Q. Crawford 445/2; HCRI 5; Sydenham 1030; Cornelia 65. Lustrous with a light iridescent tone. Superb Extremely Fine. The questor who was involved in producing this coin chose to remain anonymous, omitting his name from the type. According to a letter Cicero wrote to his friend L. Munatius Plancus, the reason was the close friendship of the questor with Caesar. Cicero identifies the man as T. Antistius (Cicero, Ad familiares XIII.29), who after Pharsalus retired to Bithynia in shame. Caesar subsequently visited him there and spoke kindly to him, urging him to return to Rome. Antistius never made it, though, as he died in Corcyra on the return journey. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. Ex Roma II (2 October 2011), 496. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.
