A beautifully struck and splendid example. Good extremely fine. From the SF collection, USA.
Artavasdus was the son-in-law and colleague of Leo III and had provided considerable help when Leo revolted and became emperor in 717. After Leo’s death in 741, and the accession to the throne of his young son Constantine V, Artavasdus decided to take the throne for himself and revolted in 742; he was, however, defeated in a number of battles, captured and, with his two sons, imprisoned and blinded. After his defeat all his coinage would have been recalled and melted down; thus their great rarity today.

The portrait is very close to those solidi attributed to the Naples mint by Hahn, especially in the details of the crown and drapery. The Naples mint solidi (MIB 28, N28, 29), however, have either a linear cross or a pellet cross as an officina mark, not extant on this specimen.

Few men of late antiquity are as well known as Julian II, usually referred to as "the Philosopher" or "the Apostate". Julian was not satisfied with Christianity, even from an early age. His formative years were spent studying philosophy, paganism, ‘magic’, occultism and related subjects that were frowned upon by the Church. So much did Julian enjoy his scholarly pursuits that he avoided any call to Imperial duties, even though he was one of the few surviving males of the House of Constantine. His memories of family politics could not have been fond, as many of his direct and extended family were murdered in the purge of 337. Among the survivors – because of their youth – were Julian and his cousin Constantius Gallus. When Julian was compelled by Constantius II to rule in the west as Caesar, he knew that he faced a difficult task: not only was the west constantly in danger from barbarian invasion, but it was under-funded and had too small an army. Nonetheless he proved resourceful, persistent and, above all, capable. Indeed, he grew in popularity so much that it alarmed Constantius II in the east. Finally, in 360, Julian was hailed emperor by his western army, and he marched eastward to confront Constantius II. The empire was fortunate that Constantius II died before the armies of the east and the west could clash, for each army was extremely loyal to their emperor, and the resulting battle would have been horrific. As sole emperor for two years, Julian’s principal tasks were to restore pagan institutions that had suffered at the hands of the Christian Church, and to launch a much-anticipated invasion of Persia. Julian was remarkably successful in both endeavours, but was cut down in a battle against the Persians, either by an enemy or by one of his own Christian soldiers.

A Tuck's postcard which was posted in Northampton on the 1st. August 1905 to:
Mrs. Jones,
154, Cowley Road,
Oxford
Note the prices offered by Goodmans the dentists on the side of the building on the right - 'Complete Set one guinea, Single Tooth two shillings and sixpence'.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Aunty,
Received skirt safely.
Mother and I got up early
this morning and went for
a nice long ride on the
tram.
How is the cat?
I expect we shall come
home on Thursday.
With love from Elsie."
Pre-Decimal Currency
The prices in the denistry advert are quoted in pre-decimal money - a guinea and two 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.

The obverse of a gold solidus, 4.42 grams, struck in Mediolanum (Milan, Italy) in the name of and portraying the Roman emperor Honorius, 393- 423 AD.
References include RIC x, page 318, 1208, where it says these were struck from 395 (the death of Honorius' father Theodosius I) to 402 (the elevation of Honorius' nephew Theodosius II to emperor in the East). RIC determines a frequency of "C" (for common) for this type.
Purchased from the Frank Sternberg (Zurich) auction 35, 28 October 2000, lot 908.
Upon the death of his father, the emperor Theodosius I, Honorius and his elder brother Arcadius became joint rulers of the Roman empire. Honorius was established in Italy while Arcadius controlled the eastern provinces from Constantinople. Both struck coins in his own name and for his brother. The solidus, the primary gold denomination by the early fourth century, was struck at a standard of 72 to the Roman pound, reasonably faithfully. Nevertheless, neither brother has been well thought of by history.
