The Roman world was at risk of extinction in 409 when Visigoths under king Alaric occupied Italy, captured Rome’s granaries and laid siege to the great, walled capital. Faced with eventual starvation, the senate cooperated by electing one of their own members, Priscus Attalus, as emperor in opposition to Honorius, whose court was based in Ravenna. Attalus, a senator of Ionian Greek extraction, was known to Alaric, for in the previous year he had been the Senate’s representative in negotiations with the king. Since he was a pagan, Attalus had to be baptized before he could be crowned.

In the following year, 410, Alaric led part of his army north to challenge Honorius in Ravenna, but his venture failed and the Vandal king returned to Rome. In June he deposed Attalus (who was pardoned by Honorius), and late in August he led his armies into Rome, sacking the great city for three days, August 24 through 26. Every portable item of value, including hostages such as Priscus Attalus and the emperors half-sister Galla Placidia, was taken.

Attalus remained a prisoner of the Visigoths until he was again hailed emperor against Honorius in 415 by Alaric’s successor Athaulf. His second reign was based in Gaul, not Rome, and it was equally brief. Attalus’ career as puppet emperor of the Goths ended in the spring of 416 when he was captured by Honorius’ soldiers and taken to Rome to be paraded through the streets. He was then banished to the Lipari islands where he lived out the rest of his days, having been relieved of his right thumb and forefinger in a symbolic gesture against any future revolt.

The reverse of a gold Solidus struck in the name of the Eastern Roman emperor Leo I, 457-474 AD, at Constantinople, displaying the pagan goddess of Victory holding a tall Christian cross.

Reverse: SALVATOR REIPVBLICAE / SIS Emperor, in military dress, standing left, holding transverse spear in his left hand and labarum inscribed with the Chi-Rho monogram in his right; behind him to right, Victory standing left, raising wreath in her right hand to crown the emperor, and holding palm branch in his left.

Rarity: Extremely rare, the finer of only two known examples.

References: Bastien p. 88, b var. Biaggi –. C. 7 var. Depeyrot 17/2 (but description incorrect). RIC 260 var.

Condition: Lustrous and with a remarkable portrait bust. Some scratches and scuffs on the reverse, otherwise, good extremely fine.

 

Provenance: Purchased privately in 1970.

Note: The only other coin of this type, unknown to the RIC, is a mounted specimen in Budapest, cited and illustrated by Depeyrot (somewhat curiously, Depeyrot mistakenly describes the obverse bust as being helmeted). Vetranio played an important role in the events that took place after the murder of Constans and the usurpation of Magnentius in 350. When Constans was deposed on January 18th (he was killed shortly thereafter) Vetranio was the infantry commander in Pannonia, and after initially being somewhat undecided, he finally chose to remain loyal to Constantius II, in part due to the influence of the emperor’s sister Constantina. At this time Constantius was still campaigning against the Persians so, thanks to Constantina’s urging, Vetranio had himself proclaimed emperor on March 1st in order to better block Magnentius’ advance and retain the loyalty of the Balkan legions. In this he was successful and when Constantius finally arrived with his army in December Vetranio was allowed to abdicate and live out his days in luxurious retirement on an estate near Prusa in Bithynia. This coin was struck for use as a donative to ensure the loyalty of Vetranio’s troo1, and bears one of the most remarkable bust types produced in this period. Vetranio appears with the usual cuirass, but, very unusually, he is shown from the front holding both a spear and a shield, seen from the inside rather than outwardly the way it generally appears.

The vast number of surviving Byzantine coins attests to the level of trade across the empire. Controlled and supervised by the emperor, the producers of coins took care to represent his authority and reflect his stature. Talented artists were recruited to engrave the dies (molds) used for the striking of coins. Emperors increasingly came to include their heirs and co-emperors on their coinage, as well as other family members or even earlier rulers. Coins were recognized, then as now, as small, portable works of art. With their inscriptions and images, Byzantine coins provide valuable documentation of historical events and a record of the physical appearance of the emperors. The coins shown here include the solidus, the basic gold coin of 24 karats; the tremissis, a gold coin of one-third the weight and value of the solidus; and the nomisma, which in the 10th century replaced the solidus as the standard gold coin.

The Postcard

 

A National Series postcard that was posted on Friday the 25th. November 1910 to:

 

Mrs. F. Harmer,

14, Upper Denmark Road,

Ashford,

Kent.

 

The message on the divided back was as follows:

 

My Dear,

Just a line to you, hope

you are all quite well as

we are all well but very

cold.

I got here alright but it

seems such a long way.

Love to all from all,

Pre-Decimal Currency

 

The price of the couple's soles are quoted in pre-decimal money - seven shillings and threepence and four shillings and sixpence.

 

The UK 'went decimal' on the 15th. February 1971. (1971 is often called the 'Year of the Con' because manufacturers and retailers used the changeover to increase their prices).

 

Pre-decimalisation money (L S D) was divided into pounds (£/L), shillings (s.) and pennies (d.).

 

'L S D' also stands for the hallucinogenic drug Lysergic Acid Diethylamide, but in this context it stands for the Latin words 'Libra', 'Solidus' and 'Denarius'. The coinage was as follows:

 

- 20 shillings (s.) in £1 (L)

- 12 pennies (d.) in 1 shilling (s.)

- 240 pennies in £1

- 480 halfpennies in £1

- 960 farthings in £1

 

The £ was represented by a printed note, and there was also a 10-shilling note.

 

A 'Guinea' (beloved of private medical consultants and solicitors) was 21 shillings - a way of extracting an additional 5% from the patient or client.

 

-- The British Pound and Inflation

 

The British pound has lost 94% its value since 1971, such that £100 in 1971 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £1,806 today. The pound has had an average inflation rate of 5.51% per year between 1971 and today.

 

This means that today's prices are 18 times as high as average prices since 1971, according to the Office for National Statistics. A pound today only buys 5.54% of what it could buy back then.

 

President Taft

 

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

 

Well, on the 25th. November 1910, President Taft announced the first regulations providing for public inspection of corporate tax returns filed with the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

 

The returns of companies listed on any stock exchange would henceforth be provided, without restriction, upon request.

 

For other companies, returns would have to be provided upon a showing of need.

 

The Death of an Elephant

 

Also on that day, the 87 year old Indian elephant "Queen", that had performed in circuses since 1886, was put to death in Jersey City, New Jersey with 600 grains of cyanide.

 

This was because she had killed her keeper, Robert Schiel, in October. Queen was said to have also killed a little girl several years earlier.
