Lot 3059 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 P. Fonteius P. f. Capito. Silver Denarius (3.96 g), 55 BC. Rome. P FONTEIUS P F CAPITO III VIR, helmeted and draped bust of Mars right, trophy over shoulder. Reverse (MN) FO(NT) TR MIL, soldier on horseback rearing right, thrusting his spear at a Gallic enemy who is about to slay an unarmed person; to lower right, helmet and shield. Crawford 429/1; Sydenham 900; Fonteia 17. Rare. An incredible example, boldly struck and well centered. Attractively toned with light iridescense on both sides. Superb Extremely Fine. The reverse commemorates a valorous deed of one Manius Fonteius, but the precise circumstances are lost to us. Both Crawford and Harl suggest he may have served under another ancestor, Marcus Fonteius, who was governor of Gallia Narbonesis from 76-73 BC. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.

Lot 3029 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 C. Annius T.f. T.n., with L. Fabius L.f. Hispaniensis. Silver Denarius (3.93 g), 82-81 BC. Uncertain mint in northern Italy. C ANNIA TF TN PRO COS EX S C, diademed and draped bust of Annia Perenna right; behind, winged caduceus; below, X; before, scales. Reverse L FABI L F HISP in exergue, Victory, holding palm and reins, driving galloping quadriga right; above horses, Q. Crawford 366/1b; Sydenham 748a; Annia 2b. Unusually well struck and perfectly centered. Lustrous and lightly toned. Nearly Mint State. Like the lot of Q. Antonius Balbus, the obverse markings here show that this issue was also struck ex senatus consulto. C. Annius was sent by the Senate against Q. Sertorius in Spain and took with him two questors, L. Fabius L.f. Hispaniensis and C. Tarquitius P.f. The fact he took two questors is only intelligible if the Senate had authorized as his province both Spains. The coins with the name of L. Fabius on the reverse were struck in northern Italy while still en route to Spain; those with the name C. Tarquitius were struck in Spain. L. Fabius later defected to Sertorius, for which he was proscribed. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500. Ex Tkalec (29 February 2008), 119. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Lot 3070 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 P. Clodius M.f. Turrinus. Silver Denarius (3.3 g), 42 BC. Rome.

A trifle weak around the right obverse borders and on the corresponding portion of the reverse. Lightly toned. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $600 - 700. Ex Tkalec (8 September 2008), 182.

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.

Crawford 494/23; HCRI 184; Sydenham 1117; Claudia 15. Boldly struck on a nice wide flan. Attractive old cabinet toning. Superb Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,400.

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.
