Lot 3038 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 M. Plaetorius M.f. Cestianus. Silver Denarius (3.99 g), 68-67 BC. Rome. CESTIANVS, head of Cybele right; behind, forepart of lion; below chin, globe. Reverse unlisted control mark, M PLAETORIVS AED CVR EX S C, curule chair; in left field, c. Crawford 409/2; Sydenham 808; Plaetoria 3. Well struck on a large size flan with delicate iridescent toning on both sides. Superb Extremely Fine. Although Hersh and Walker dated this issue to 57 BC based on their interpretation of the evidence from the Mesagne hoard, they failed to note that the dates of Cestianus' curule aedileship are secured by Cicero's speech, Pro Cluentio, which was read in 66 BC. Cicero says in his speech that he had argued the case of Decimus Matrinius, a man who had been degraded to a lower order by the censors of 70 BC, before the curule aediles Cestianus and Flaminius. This secures their aedileship to between 70 and 67 BC, and for other reasons Cestianus could not have been curule aedile in either 70 or 69 BC. The types of this coin refer to the Ludi Megalesiaci, games which honored the goddess Cybele, and were presented by the curule aediles. For further discussion for his moneyer's coin types, see the lot with the non-AED CVR denarius below. Estimated Value $700 - 800. Ex Kirk Davis List 54 (October 2008), 45; William C. Boyd Collection, with Boyd's original collection ticket showing that he purchased the coin from Spink in 1891. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Lot 3057 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 C. Memmius C.f. Silver Denarius (3.88 g), 56 BC. Rome. C MEMMI C F, head of Ceres right, wreathed with grain ears. Reverse C MEMMIVS IMPERATOR, bound captive kneeling right beneath trophy. Crawford 427/1; Sydenham 920; Memmia 10. An exquisiste example and virtually as struck. Intricate detail with lustrous surfaces delicately toned. Nearly Mint State. The moneyer of this coin, Gaius Memmius, was the nephew of Pompey the Great, the son of Pompey's sister, Pompeia Strabonia, and C. Memmius. The reverse commemorates a military victory of an ancestor with the same name who had been acclaimed imperator by his troops, but there is debate over which C. Memmius this was. It is possible that it refers to the moneyer's grandfather, who was tribune in 111 BC and then proconsul of Macedonia, or perhaps more likely his father, who according to Plutarch was Pompey's most capable general in the fight against Sertorius in Spain. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,400. Ex Tkalec (29 February 2008), 203. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Reverse C CASSI below, ROMA in exergue, Libertas, holding pileus, scepter and reins, driving galloping quadriga right. Crawford 266/1; Sydenham 502; Cassia 1. Well struck and superb.

Lot 3033 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 L. Papius. Silver Denarius (4.00 g), 79 BC. Rome. Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat's skin headdress; behind, amphora. Reverse L PAPI in exergue, griffin springing right; below, hydria. Crawford 384/1 (symbols 2); Sydenham 773; Papia 1. Boldly struck and perfectly centered. Rare symbol. Amazing detail throughout and delicately toned. Superb Extremely Fine. Although the moneyer is unknown except for his coins, the coins are very popular with collectors for the interesting controls they display, which according to Crawford "are no more than a random selection of pairs of everyday objects" (p. 399). Papius used two related symbols, one on the obverse die, the other on the reverse, to keep track of production and to control losses amongst the slaves at the mint. Each pair of controls only has one set of dies. On this particular coin the paired symbols are an amphora and a hydria, both related to wine, the amphora for storage and the hydria for mixing wine with water (unlike barbarians with the uncouth habit of consuming it undiluted, the Romans and Greeks always drank their wine mixed with water, often with the addition of spices or honey for flavoring). Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. Ex Triton XV (3-4 January 2012), 1472. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Lot 3052 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 M. Aemilius Scaurus and Pub. Plautius Hypsaeus. Silver Denarius (3.98 g), 58 BC. Rome. [M SC]AVR / [AE] D CVR in two lines above, [EX] S C across field, [REX] ARETAS in exergue, the Nabatean king Aretas kneeling to right, extending olive-branch and holding reins, before camel standing right. Reverse P HVPSAE / AED CVR in two lines above, [CAPTV] to right, C HVPSAE CO [S / PREIVE] in two lines in exergue, Jupiter driving quadriga left; below horses' forelegs, scorpion. Crawford 422/1b; Sydenham 913; Aemilia 8. Well struck and perfectly centered. Attractive iridescent tone. Superb Extremely Fine. During the first century, it was normal for a moneyer to highlight some important event from his family's past. This was because for the Roman aristocracy an illustrious past was extremely important for advancing one's political career. Here, however, M. Aemilius has deviated from the norm, depicting an event from his own career, the first such instance in Roman coinage. While serving as Governor of Syria, Scaurus invaded Nabataea, laying waste much of its territory. Although he was unable to conquer king Aretas' stronghold, through an intermediary he was able to convince Aretas to pay a substantial bribe (300 talents) for him to desist. As the event is presented on the coin one would think that the Nabataeans were soundly defeated and that Aretas begged for mercy, but this is mere propagandistic opportunism on the part of Scaurus. Unlike the obverse, the reverse follows tradition by commemorating a past deed of the moneyer, recalling that it was his ancestor, the consul Gaius Hypsaeus, who captured the Volscian town of Privernum. Estimated Value $600 - 700. Ex Elsen 106 (11 September 2010), 304. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Reverse ROMA in exergue, Diana, holding torch and reins, driving galloping biga of stags right; below, crescent below. Crawford 222/1; Sydenham 438; RSC 101.

Lot 3026 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 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.

Lot 3045 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 L. Aemilius Lepidus Paullus. Silver Denarius (4.1g), 62 BC. Rome. PAVLLVS LEPIDVS behind and above, CONCORDIA before, diademed and veiled head of Concordia right. Reverse TER above, PAVLLVS in exergue, the consul, L. Aemilius Paullus, togate, on right standing left, erecting trophy; to left, the Macedonian king, Perseus, and his two sons standing right. Crawford 415/1; Sydenham 926; Aemilia 10. Boldly struck with complete legends, lustrous surfaces and nicely toned. Superb Extremely Fine. The Hellenistic state of Macedonia ended along with the Third Macedonian War in 168 BC when the moneyer's ancestor and namesake, the consul Lucius Aemilius Paullus, defeated King Perseus of Macedon at Pydna. Prior to Aemilius Paullus' arrival, only Perseus' persistent lack of military intelligence prevented a total rout of the Roman legions as the prior consuls were inept and totally unworthy of the task. Aemilius Paullus, however, was an experienced commander, having seen service in the Hanniballic Wars. After Macedon's defeat, Paullus conquered Epirus, laying waste numerous towns and taking as many as 150,000 prisoners to supply Rome's slave markets. For his magnificent conquests the Senate awarded him the title Macedonicus along with a splendid triumph. Estimated Value $700 - 800. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.

Lot 3069 - denarii collection - roman republic - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. Pre-Long Beach Auction #80 L. Valerius Acisculus. Silver Denarius (3.54 g), 45 BC. Rome. ACISCVLVS behind, diademed head of Apollo Soranus right surmounted by star; behind, pick-axe. Reverse L VALERIVS in exergue, Europa seated on bull walking right, holding veil which billows out above her. Crawford 474/1a; HCRI 90; Sydenham 998; Valeria 17. Boldly struck and perfectly centered with gorgeous iridescent toning. Superb Extremely Fine. It has traditionally been believed that the reverse shows the heroine Valeria Luperca riding a heifer. However, the animal is clearly a bull, which means that the seated female can only be Europa. The myth of Europa is that she was a Phoenician princess whose beauty attracted the attention of the god Zeus. Desiring her, he turned himself into a magnificent white bull and intermingled with her father's herd. When she saw him, she approached him and stroked his side, then leaped onto his back. Zeus immediately ran out to sea and swam to Crete, where Europa became the island's first queen. Subsequently, Zeus arranged the stars, known as the constellation Taurus, in the shape of the white bull which he had assumed during this episode. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,700.
