Roman Britain, AD 76
From Hints Common, Staffordshire
Lead was widely used in the Roman world, both as a constituent of bronze and pewter and in its own right, In particular, its density and malleability were especially well-suited to the manufacture of weights and waterproofing materials, including pipes, water tanks and roof flashing.
Lead was obtained as a by-product of silver mining from the ore galena. Until the second century AD, this meant that lead production was often under the control of the Emperor. The inscription on this ingot reads IMP.VESP.VII.T.IMP.V.COS, which translates '[Cast] while the Emperor Vespasian was consul for the seventh time, and Titus, imperator, consul for the fifth time.' These titles date the ingot to AD 76. The letters DECEANG on the side of the ingot show that the lead was quarried in the territory of the Deceangli, the tribe living in the north-eastern corner of Wales. The ingot was found in 1771 on the line of the Roman road known as Watling Street. It may have fallen from a wagon on its way to the south-east.

Britannicus. AD 41-55. Æ Sestertius (29.81 g, 6h). Uncertain Balkan/Thracian mint. Struck under Claudius, circa AD 50-54. TI CLAVDIVS • CAESAR • G • F • BRITANNICVS •, bareheaded and draped bust left / Mars, barefoot, but wearing full military outfit, including sagum (cape), advancing left, holding spear in outstretched right hand and round shield in left; large S C across field. RIC I pg. 130, note; von Kaenel, "Britannicus, Agrippina Minor und Nero in Thrakien," SNR 63 (1984), Type B, 5 (same dies); BMCRE 226 (Claudius).
The attribution of the sestertii of Britannicus has been a matter of some speculation. Formerly, the issue had been attributed to Rome around the end of Claudius’ reign when Britannicus adopted the toga virilis. Mattingly, however, demonstrated that such an attribution was problematic, since the Rome mint was not producing aes at that time. Instead, he assigned the type to the early years of Titus, when many restoration and commemorative issues were being struck, a logical assumption given the reported close friendship between the two. More recently, substantial numbers of Latin coins (sestertii and dupondii) in the name of Britannicus, Agrippina Jr., Nero Caesar, and Nero Augustus have been found in the Balkan region, and von Kaenel argued for a Thracian origin for the series. Von Kaenel’s analysis is plausible, since the style and fabric of the coins, as well as the find spots, indeed suggest a Thracian mint, and such local issues would have been struck for use by the legions servicing the border.
Tiberius Claudius Germanicus was born on 12 February AD 41, only a few weeks after his father Claudius became emperor. After Claudius' conquest of Britain in AD 43, the boy's name was changed to Tiberius Claudius Caesar Britannicus, and the sources refer to him simply as Britannicus. In AD 55 while dining with friends, he was poisoned and died. The murder was almost certainly ordered by Nero who wanted to clear the way for his own succession to the throne.

The size and high quality of this portrait bust suggest that it portrays a member of the Roman imperial family. Scholars have had difficulty in identifying the woman because the portrait is carved in a classicizing style that subsumes the features of the individual. All female portraits of the imperial family were carved in this style, and all the portraits look very much alike. The political message of unity conveyed by these nearly identical, idealized portraits was considered more important than the individual appearance of the women.
Still, there are signs of aging in this portrait--hints of a sagging jawline, a double chin, and baggy eyes. Based on these features, this portrait likely represents Octavia Minor, the sister of Augustus, the first Roman emperor. Born about 69 B.C., Octavia played a role in the volatile politics of the last years of the Roman Republic. In 40 B.C., she was married to Mark Antony in a political match designed to strengthen the bonds between Antony and her brother. This alliance and the marriage did not last, but Octavia remained a beloved member of Augustus's imperial court until her death in 11 B.C. This portrait type may have been created to commemorate her death.

Julius Caesar. Early 46 BC. AV Aureus (8.06 g, 6h). Rome mint. A. Hirtius, praetor. Veiled female head (Vesta or Pietas?) right; C • CAESAR behind, COS • TER before / Lituus, capis, and securis; A HIRTIVS PR to lower left. Crawford 466/1; CRI 56; Bahrfeldt 19; Calicó 37; Sydenham 1017; Kestner 3634-6; BMCRR Rome 4050; CNR 1.
Aulus Hirtius, praetor at the time this coin was struck, was a close friend of both Cicero and Caesar, and had served as the latter’s legate in Gaul. He was consul in 43 BC, having been nominated by Caesar, and was sent along with Octavian and Pansa against Antony, who was besieging Decimus Brutus at Mutina. Hirtius defeated Antony but fell while leading the assault on his camp. Hirtius is credited with completing Caesar’s commentaries on the Gallic, Alexandrine, African, and Spanish wars.

Il Mart di Rovereto propone un’indagine articolata e uno sguardo originale sulla figura del grande pittore del Quattrocento e sul suo tempo, attraverso lo studio degli intrecci storico-artistici e delle controversie ancora aperte, presentati in questa sede come punti di forza attraverso i quali approfondire nuovi percorsi di interpretazione critica.
Il progetto espositivo, a cura di Ferdinando Bologna e Federico De Melis, ha l’ambizione di ricostruire l’ampia scena storica e geografica dalla quale emerge l’eccezionale individualità di Antonello: un pittore che, a metà del Quattrocento, si fa interprete di un fermento creativo mediterraneo ed europeo incentrato sull’incontro-scontro tra la civiltà fiamminga e quella italiana.

Spiral bracelets in the form of snakes were very popular in antiquity. This type of bracelet was worn coiled around the wearer's arm, the continuation of a fashion known earlier in the Greek world in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. Such slip-on bracelets were always worn in pairs on the wrists or the upper arms. On this single spiral example, the goldsmith carefully recreated the sinuous motion of the curves of a snake's tail. Incised crosshatching on the snake's head and tail represents the texture of scales. A second smaller head emerges from the tail, creating an abbreviated version of the more elaborate double-snake bracelets popular in the earlier Ptolemaic period.

Il Mart di Rovereto propone un’indagine articolata e uno sguardo originale sulla figura del grande pittore del Quattrocento e sul suo tempo, attraverso lo studio degli intrecci storico-artistici e delle controversie ancora aperte, presentati in questa sede come punti di forza attraverso i quali approfondire nuovi percorsi di interpretazione critica.
Il progetto espositivo, a cura di Ferdinando Bologna e Federico De Melis, ha l’ambizione di ricostruire l’ampia scena storica e geografica dalla quale emerge l’eccezionale individualità di Antonello: un pittore che, a metà del Quattrocento, si fa interprete di un fermento creativo mediterraneo ed europeo incentrato sull’incontro-scontro tra la civiltà fiamminga e quella italiana.

Images of horses in different phases of life surmount the legs of this Roman folding tripod stand. A nursing foal represents infancy, a rearing stallion represents the prime of life, and a stallion drinking quietly from a kantharos represents old age. In Roman art, the kantharos often has symbolic connections with the afterlife, perhaps as an allusion to a Bacchic paradise.
Tripods such as this held cauldrons used in religious rituals and sacrifices. Burnt offerings and libations were offered to the gods in the now-missing cauldron that would have been attached to the hooks behind the horses. The legs of the tripod end in feline paws; one leg has a handle decorated with the head of a panther, which would have been used to carry the stand when folded or to hang a ladle when open.

Divus Augustus. Died AD 14. Æ Dupondius (30mm, 16.66 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck under Gaius (Caligula), AD 37-41. Radiate head left / Augustus(?) seated left on curule chair, holding branch. RIC I 56 (Gaius). cngcoins.com
Note the "T" in "ET" which is raised, see my thoughts on this.
One final aspect of the
seated figure of Caligula on the consensv dupondius is worth examining. Could Caligula
have been the first living princeps to ever appear radiate on Roman coinage? B.E. Levy.
in her article entitled "Caligula's Radiate Crown," finds traces of a radiate crown on two
pieces: One in the Princeton University Library; the other in a private collection. Some
scholars believe this theory strengthens the argument that the seated figure is Augustus
and not Caligula. H.M. Von Kaenal advanced this interpretation of the dupondii this
way: His first argument is that on some of the reverses you could identify Caligula's
features; secondly, that the reverse legend is suited to certain events of his accession. As
Dio tells us, the event was altered by an eruption into the senate-house of equites et
populus,40 and in Von Kaenal's view it is to this, and not the award of an honorific
statue, that the legend CONSENSV SENAT ET EQ ORDIN P Q R must refer.41 H.
Kuthmann brings even stronger evidence of the reverse type not being Augustus when he
suggests that on pre-Flavian coins the curule chair is the seat of the living princeps, while
that of DIVUS Augustus is a throne.42 This is strong evidence that the seated figure is
that of Caligula. (Interestingly, Kuthmann identifies the seated figure as Claudius.)
Levy brings further evidence to light when she suggests that the bronze provincial issues
of at least three or four mints show Caligula with radiate attribution (one from
Alexandria, but this issue may represent Helios.)43 Another issue from the province of Asia shows a spikey Hellenistic crown.44 Even stronger evidence that the radiate crown
did exist can be seen on consensv dupondii , where the die engraver shortened the vertical
bar on the T in ET to accommodate the crown, while the entire letter T is slightly
raised in the second Princeton piece. Levy mentions that the radiate crown is neglected
in descriptions which follow illustrations in catalogues. In specifically looking for the
radiate crown on the consensv dupondii, there are at least three issues that have been
found via the art trade.45 It has been suggested that the radiate crown is occasionally
used on Roman coinage to distinguish a newly elevated Emperor. Thus, the Roman
radiate crown was not a true piece of insignia: Its meaning was flexible and its use optional?

ANCIENT ROMAN IMPERATORIAL AND IMPERIAL SILVER COINS, Augustus (27 BC - AD 14), Denarius, uncertain mint, 17 BC, CAESAR, young bare head (of Gaius Caesar?) right, all within oak-wreath, rev AVG-VST, ornamented candelabrum, all within floral wreath decorated with bucrania and paterae, 3.87g (RIC 540; BMC 684; RCV 1749). Beautiful old cabinet tone with slight iridescence, a little wear on highest point of obverse, otherwise extremely fine, a very attractive example. bought for £4/15/- Augustus adopted his grandsons Gaius and Lucius Caesar in 17 BC, marking his intention to include them both in his plans for the succession. The portrait on the obverse of this coin, taken with the legend ‘CAESAR’ appearing below it, has traditionally been identified as that of Gaius, but more recent thinking has attributed it to that of a youthful portrait of Augustus himself. The precise identification remains unclear.
