Man. Acilius Glabrio. 49 BC. Silver Denarius (3.75g). Rome mint. Laureate head of Salus right / Valetudo (Salus) standing left, holding snake and leaning elbow on column. Crawford 442/1a; CRI 16; Sydenham 922; Acilia 8; RBW 1556. Beautiful blue and golden toning around the devices, giving the coin a very attractive appearance. gVF. This denarius was struck as Caesar's civil war opened, showing Salus on the obverse and Valetudo on the reverse, a pointed appeal to health, safety, and divine protection at a moment when the Roman state itself was falling ill. From the Titan Collection; acquired from Noble Numismatics, March 2001; previously ex Edward Gans, New York, circa 1957. (P) |
