Lot 820
Constantius II AV Solidus. Antioch, AD 350. FL IVL CONSTANTIVS PERP AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / GLORIA REIPVBLICAE, Constantius on horseback to right, turreted figure kneeling to left before him, holding torch in left hand; SMAN? in exergue. RIC 80; C 107; Depeyrot 6/2. 4.40g, 21mm, 11h. Near Mint State. Extremely Rare; in exceptional condition for the issue, certainly one of the finest of very few specimens known and far superior to the only other example on CoinArchives (H. D. Rauch 98, 21 September 2015, lot 677 [hammer: EUR 28,000]). It should be noted that the scene depicted on the reverse of this coin does not represent a formal adventus, since the raised hand, the signal gesture of the emperor's greeting and the extension of his benevolence is absent here. The kneeling figure is not that of the Tyche of Antioch, for she carries not a cornucopiae but a torch, and the legend clearly indicates that we are to perceive this figure as a personification of the Res Publica. Thus, Kent, Sutherland and Carson (RIC VIII p. 505) advocate that the intended meaning should be seen as the 'liberation' or 'deliverance' of the Republic, similar to the LIBERATOR REI PVBLICAE multiples struck for Magnentius at Aquileia. Viewed in this context, the issue must refer to Constantius' imminent departure to the West to 'liberate' it from the usurper Magnentius, whose agents had assassinated Constantius II's brother and Imperial colleague Constans as he tried to flee to safety.

Lot 750
Lucius Verus AV Aureus. Rome, AD 164. L VERVS AVG ARMENIACVS, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / TR P IIII IMP II COS II, Victory, naked to waist, standing right, holding writing instrument in right hand and with left hand steadying shield inscribed VIC AVG that is set atop palm tree. RIC 525 (Aurelius); BMCRE 296 (Aurelius); Calicó 2177. 7.26g, 19mm, 6h. Fleur De Coin. Shortly after Lucius Verus succeeded to the position of co-emperor in AD 161, a position he shared with Marcus Aurelius, the peace Antoninus Pius had negotiated with the Parthians collapsed. The Parthian king Vologases IV invaded the Kingdom of Armenia, then a Roman client state, expelling the king and installing his own. Both initial attempts to recover the territory of Armenia by the Governor of Cappadocia, Marcus Sedatius Severianus, and the Governor of Syria, L. Attidius Cornelianus, were unsuccessful. Marcus Aurelius took the decision to send his imperial colleague Lucius Verus to defend the Eastern territories in person. This aureus was struck shortly following the successful invasion of Armenia and capture of Artaxata in AD 183 by M. Statius Priscus, the former Governor of Britain who had been sent to replace Severianus as the Governor of Cappadocia. The obverse proudly boasts the title of Armeniacus, which was granted to Verus despite him having never seen combat. Verus is believed to have spent the majority of the campaign in Antioch, where his contribution to military matters is one of historical dispute. Nevertheless, the recovery of Armenia into the empire as a subordinate client kingdom saw the end of the limited themes which had featured on the early gold issues of the two Augusti in favour of the new – Minerva, Felicitas, Pax – including Victory, who is depicted on the reverse of this coin.

Julian II AV Solidus. Lugdunum, AD 360-361. FL CL IVLIANVS P P AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / VIRTVS EXERC GALL, soldier standing right, head left, holding trophy over shoulder and placing hand on head of kneeling captive; star to left, LVG in exergue. RIC 226; Depeyrot 6/1. 4.58g, 21mm, 6h. Good Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare; only one other example in CoinArchives. From a scattered hoard found in West Norfolk, Wednesday 12th April 2017 - Monday 8th May 2017. Submitted for consideration as Treasure, and returned to the finders. PAS ID: NMS-1A6962. In AD 355 Julian was appointed Caesar by his cousin Constantius II, and was entrusted with the defence of Gaul against Germanic invasion. Perhaps remembering their role as king-makers, the Gallic Army elevated Julian II to the rank of Augustus in AD 360 in defiance of Constantius II’s order for them to march east to counter a Sasanid invasion of Mesopotamia. This issue, with its reverse type explicitly referencing the Gallic Army, recalls the similar types of Constantine I. The Gallic Army had then been responsible for supporting Constantine’s illegal elevation to the purple upon the death of his father at Eboracum (York) in AD 306, and fought under him against the Frankish and Germanic tribes in several campaigns between 306 and 310, and which ultimately delivered him Rome and sole rule of the West in 312. It was a battle-hardened and effective force, regularly tested against the barbarian tribes which at this time made frequent incursions into Roman lands, and it was on account of this devoted and veteran army that Constantine was able to win a crushing victory over the numerically superior force of Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Thus it was with this army that the reluctant Julian set about retracing the footsteps of his uncle, first dealing with the Franks and Alamanni, and then marching on Italy and Illyricum. Unlike Constantine though, no great slaughter was necessary for Julian to take the throne - Constantius II died of illness, leaving Julian as sole emperor of East and West.
