Marc Antony and Octavia AR Cistophoric Tetradrachm of Ephesus, Ionia. 39 BC. M•ANTONIVS•IMP•COS•DESIG•ITER•ET•TERT, head of Antony right, wearing ivy wreath, lituus below; all within wreath of ivy and flowers / III•VIR• R•P•C, head of Octavia atop cista mystica, between twisting snakes. RPC I 2201; RSC 2; CRI 262; BMCRR East 133. 12.01g, 27mm, 12h. Very Fine. Toned. Following the death of Octavia's first husband C. Claudius Marcellus in 40 BC, her marriage to Antony sought to seal the Pact of Brundisium in which it had been agreed that Octavian would assume control of the west and Antony of the east. The striking of this type cements the agreement before the people of Ephesus, an important city, later made the capital of Asia Minor by Augustus in 27 BC. Octavia spent two winters with Antony in Athens and in 37 BC assisted in securing the Triumvirate for another 5 years at the Pact of Tarentum. Following this, Antony returned to the east and, having left Octavia behind, lived with Cleopatra in Egypt. Although they divorced in 32 BC, after Antony's defeat at the Battle of Actium and subsequent suicide, Octavia raised all of his surviving children by Fulvia and Cleopatra, along with her own.

IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P, laureate bust right, slight drapery on far shoulder / COS V P P S P Q R OPTIMO PRINC, Felicitas (or Pax?) standing left holding caduceus (or olive branch?) and leaning on column. RIC 120 or 126; RSC 81b or 83. 3.21g, 18mm, 6h. Near Good Very Fine.
Trajan AR Denarius. Rome, AD 103-111. IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P, laureate head left, slight drapery on far shoulder / COS V P P S P Q R OPTIMO PRINC, Trophy, with one round and two hexagonal shields; at base, two shields, two javelins and sword.

Trajan AR Denarius. Rome, AD 112-117. IMP TRAIANO AVG GER DAC P M TR P COS VI P P, laureate head right / S P Q R OPTIMO PRINCIPI, personification of Via Traiana reclining left on rocks, with wheel and branch; VIA TRAIANA in exergue. RIC 267; RSC 648b; BMCRE 486. 3.22g, 19mm, 6h. Very Fine. Built by Trajan at his own expense and commemorated with an arch at its beginning in Beneventum, as well as on his coinage, the Via Traiana was a quicker route for travellers from Rome to Brundisium on the coast. At 205 miles, despite being two miles longer than the Via Appia, the Via Traiana was a much less arduous and therefore faster option than the original Republican road because it traversed a significantly flatter route to the north. Strabo, in his Geography (6.3.7), indicates that the route of the Via Traiana, even though in his day little more than a mule track, saved the traveller a whole day's journeying.
Trajan AR Denarius. Rome, AD 116. IMP CAES NER TRAIANO OPTIMO AVG GER DAC, laureate and draped bust right / P M TR P COS VI P P S P Q R, Felicitas standing left, holding caduceus and cornucopiae.

Diocletian Æ Quinarius. Siscia, AD 294-295. DIOCLETIANVS AVG, laureate head right / VTILITAS PVBLICA, Utilitas standing facing, head left, with hands folded within drapery; SIS in exergue. RIC -, cf. Rome 48 (R in ex.) & Ticinum 27a (T in ex.). 1.10g, 15mm, 12h. Very Fine. Rev. somewhat corroded. Seemingly unpublished in the standard references. Known from the mints of Rome and Ticinum, the types seen on this quinarius had not until now been thought to have been struck at Siscia at all. Indeed, RIC lists only laureate fractions for Maximian and Galerius as having been struck at this mint, with reverse types of Mars and Aequitas (though this latter bears the same rev. legend) as the present piece). That we have now this reverse type represented at Siscia should come as little surprise.
Constans Æ Centenionalis. Siscia, AD 348-350. D N CONSTANS P F AVG, laurel and rosette-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / FEL TEMP REPARATIO, Emperor in military dress standing left, holding Victory on globe and standard with chi-rho on banner, on galley steered by Victory seated in the stern; ?SIS(symbol)R in exergue.

For similar tokens cut from coins of Constantius II, see CNG e416, lot 479 & CNG e405, lot 549; for type cf. RIC 184. 3.53g, 20mm. Very Fine. An interesting object.
