Marcus Aurelius AV Aureus. Rome, AD 172. M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXVI, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Marcus Aurelius to right / IMP VI COS III, Marcus Aurelius in military dress standing to left, holding thunderbolt in his right hand and reversed spear in his left; behind him stands Victory, who crowns him with a wreath held in her right hand, and holds a palm with her left; between them, pellet. Biaggi 856; BMC 566; C. 308; Foss 46; RIC 264; Sear II 4860; Calicó 1873. 6.95g, 20mm, 6h. Near Mint State. Very Rare. The image of the emperor on the reverse of this coin is not only unusual, but also historically very interesting. Aurelius has here assumed the symbols of Jupiter, holding a thunderbolt and spear while Victory crowns him with laurels; we should interpret this image as representing the close connection between the supreme god Jupiter and the person of the emperor who was not only the head of state but also the pontifex maximus. Yet the dating of this issue seems to precede two important events that occurred across the Danube in the campaign of 172-4: namely, the 'lightning miracle' and the 'rain miracle', which two incidents are recorded on the column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome. The Historia Augusta (Marcus 24.2) tells us that in the case of the 'lightning miracle' the emperor 'summoned a thunderbolt from heaven against a siege-engine of the enemy by means of his prayers' - the column clearly shows a stone enclosure filled with Romans, and outside a siege tower struck by a bolt of lightning that has burst into flames. The second and more important of the two events, the 'rain miracle' as related by Cassius Dio, describes how the legio XII Fulminata was surrounded and entangled in a defile, suffering from thirst, and almost forced to surrender. A sudden storm then gave abundance of rain which refreshed the Romans, while hail and thunder confounded their enemies who were struck down by bolts of lightning. Thus the Romans were able to achieve a near bloodless victory. This was considered for a long time afterwards to have been a miracle and nothing less than divine intervention by Jupiter on behalf of the Romans. That the issue pre-dates the rain miracle seems relatively certain, since it is well attested that Aurelius' seventh acclamation as Imperator occurred in the immediate aftermath of the rain miracle. The depiction then of Aurelius on the reverse of this coin, wielding the power of Jupiter, seems curiously prophetic.

STEPHENSON GEORGE: (1781-1848) English Civil & Mechanical Engineer who built the first public inter-city railway line in the world to use steam locomotives. A.L.S., Geo Stephenson, one page, 4to, Liverpool, 5th July 1827, to Mr. Cabry. Stephenson announces 'The Iron work has arrived for you, here, from N'Castle' and informs his correspondent that it will be sent to Eastham tomorrow. He continues 'I have written to my brother Robert to come and spend a few days in your neighbourhood, until I procure a situation for him, as he has been unfortunate in his concerns at Morton; I am not sure if he will come or not'. With integral address leaf hand addressed by Stephenson to Mr. Cabry at Ness Colliery in Cheshire. Some paper loss to the integral leaf and a number of small holes and tears at the folds, only very slightly affecting a few words of text, but not the signature. G Stephenson's correspondent could be either Henry Cabry (1805-1881) who joined Robert Stephenson & Co. in late 1823 or 1824 and was the Locomotive Superintendent of Leicester & Swannington Railway where the Comet was the first locomotive, or, as is more likely, Thomas Cabry (1801-1873) who also worked for Stephenson at around the same time and who was involved in the erection of a stationary engine on Daubhill Incline on Bolton & Leigh Railway in May 1827, shortly before the present letter. Robert Stephenson (1788-1837) Younger brother of George Stephenson, drove the North Star, one of eight trains involved in a parade for the opening ceremony of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway on 15th September 1830.
