Lugdunum mint, issued AD 65.Laureate head of Nero to right, around NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P IMP P P, rev. around PACE P R TERRA MARIQ PARTA IANVM CLVSIT, S C across field, temple of Janus with closed doors, on right of temple.gVF. Sl surface roughness, deep medium-brown green patina revealing excellent hair detail.S.1958, RIC 438, WCN 419, BMC 319.The temple of Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings, was one of Rome?s most ancient centres of worship. It was said that Romulus had built it after he made peace with the Sabines, and that it was king Numa who decreed that its doors should be opened during times of war and shut during times of peace. In all of Roman history up until the reign of Nero the temple doors had been shut perhaps five or six times ? once under king Numa (who originated the tradition), once at the end of the Second Punic War, three times under Augustus, and, according to Ovid, once under Tiberius.In 65 AD, when peace had been generally established in the Empire, Nero understandably requested the closing of the temple?s doors. He marked the event with great celebrations and commemorated it by issuing a large and impressive series of coins. The inscription on this issue announces ?the doors of Janus have been close after peace has been procured for the Roman People on the land and on the sea." Despite Nero?s contentment with affairs on the empire?s borders, the year 65 AD was rife with domestic tragedy: much of Rome was still in ashes from the great fire of the previous year, Nero narrowly escaped death in the Pisonian conspiracy, and not long afterward he kicked to death his pregnant wife Poppaea.

Titus. AD 79-81. Silver Denarius (2.93g). Struck January-July 80 AD. IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M., laureate head right / TR P IX IMP XV COS VIII P P, dolphin coiled around anchor.EF. Pleasing dark-iridescent cabinet tone. An amazing example!RIC II 26a; BMCRE 72; BN 62; RSC 309.The short reign of Titus witnessed three major calamities. First, on 24 August 79 AD, only one month after his accession, was the eruption of Mount Vesuvius which overwhelmed the towns and villas of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae, and Oplontis. The following year, while still in Campania supervising the relief work , a devastating fire and epidemic of plague broke out in Rome. The above coin was minted in 80 AD, and, according to Mattingly, in BMC II, pp. lxxii-lxxiii, was part of a series commemorating the supplicatio and lectisternium voted by the Senate after the eruption. As part of the atonement ceremony to seek peace with heaven, sacred couches, pulvinaria, were arranged, each bearing attributes or emblems of the gods. In this particular case the dolphin and anchor represent Neptune.In contrast, B. Damsky, in "The throne and curule chair types of Titus and Domitian," in SNR 74 (1995), pp. 59-70, after reviewing all the interpretations suggested by various scholars, theorized that this coin, and others minted at the same time, refers not to the ceremony following the eruption, but rather to the occasion for rejoicing and spectacles held in June 80 to inaugurate the completion and opening of the Amphitheatrum Flavium, later called the Colosseum after the colossus of Nero that stood close by.

L - I-O Antinous as Hermes on horseback to right, holding kerykeion in his right hand.VF/gF. Green colour is much less evident than photo.Dattari (Savio) 2082. Emmett 1346.19. K&G 34a.1. RPC III online 6062.40 ( this coin ).In 130, Hadrian arrived in Egypt along with his entourage, which included the young Antinous, Hadrian's lover, whom he had met seven years earlier in Claudiopolis in Bithynia. During a lion hunt in a Libyan desert, the emperor narrowly saved the young man's life, but a sad fate befell him shortly thereafter during a cruise on the Nile.The details of the events are sketchy: all we know is that Antinous somehow fell overboard and was pulled underwater by the stream, drowning.The official version was already questioned in Antiquity, however. Theories range from murder perpetrated by one of his rivals or a gruesome human sacrifice meant to reinvigorate Hadrian's failing health. Whatever the truth behind Antinous' death, Hadrian was devastated, and he honored his fallen lover by founding an eponymous city, Antinoopolis, at the spot where he died and the young man was worshiped as a hero thereafter.
