de Conservaci6n

Numismatica Ars Classica is honoured to present this important series of Roman gold coins. As the title suggests, the majority of the coins in this auction come from one collection of which this catalogue represents only the first part. It is important to mention that less than ten coins from two other consignments have been added to this catalogue. The result is a truly spectacular auction which, despite comprising only 89 coins, admirably manages to represent Roman gold coinage. The first and second centuries are intentionally

by a small number of coins so as to avoid any overlapping with the Ploil collection. Nevertheless, this part of the catalogue contains several important coins in an exceptional state of conservation.

represented

The flrst century offering is highlighted by a unique aureus of Vespasian minted in Antioch, which bears a strong and interesting portrait (lot 504) as well as an extraordinarily wellpreserved aureus of Domitia (lot 508).

Moving on to the second century, virtually all the coins are of great quality and the wonderful style of the coins bears witness to the impeccable taste which undoubtedly excited the anonymous collector who assembled this collection. It would be practically impossible to list all of the noteworthy coins in this part of the collection so we will limit ourselves to mentioning only the most important pieces such as: the spectacular Hadrian aureus bearing the personification of Egypt on its reverse (lot 514); an aureus of Faustina I which, although very common, is of exceptionally fine style (lot 520); and an aureus of Crispina in an exceptional state of conservation (lot 526).

The series of third century coins is truly extraordinary with a selection of coins in an outstanding state of preservation often accompanied by prestigious provenances. We would like to begin by mentioning the superb aureus of Septimius Severus with the emperor depicted on the reverse in the act of receiving a globe from Jupiter (lot 528). Also of great interest is the unique aureus, of the same emperor, which was probably produced in India (lot 531). Undoubtedly worthy of mention are: a stupendous aureus of Geta andCaracalla which is in an exceptional state of preservation with a magnificent red tone (lot 534); and a wonderful aureus of Macrinus (lot 540) which not only bears an exceptionally beautiful portrait, but is also in an impeccable state of conservation. One coin in the catalogue deserves aparagraph to itself; the aureus of Severus Alexander with the Nymphaeum Alexandri (lot 543) depicted on its reverse. This exceedingly rare coin, which to our knowledge is one of only two examples, is possibly the only existing testimony of the original appearance of this wonderful monument, as today, only the remains of the castellum (the tower) can be admired in Rome. This issue forms part of a series of coins which Severus Alexander minted to celebrate some of the improvement works he made in

Rome, including the renovation work carried out on the Colosseum. We have decided to illustrate the reverse of this aureus with the Nymphaeum Alexandri on the front cover of the catalogue with a drawing by Anne Gyrite SchĂštt, exactly like our father did for the reverse of the aureus of Severus Alexander with the Colosseum which was illustrated on the front cover of the auction catalogue of the Gilbert Steinberg collection. On that occasion, our father, who since the inception of NAC held firm that there was not to be a coin on the front cover of our auction catalogues, indulged the collector and agreed to make an exception. Nevertheless, he wanted to distinguish NAC from other auction houses by illustrating the coin with a drawing rather than a photograph which he felt would be more elegant. The second part of the third century opens with a unique gold quinarius of Postumus (lot 554) and continues with a stupendously beautiful aureus of Aurelian (lot 555) and an aureus of Postumus with an absolutely spectacular portrait (lot 559).

The tetrarchy presents a series of coins of the highest quality including a fascinating aureus Maximianus (lot 568) and a beautiful aureus of Constantius Chlorus (lot 570).

The beginning of the fourth century presents a spectacular aureus of Maxentius (lot 575) and an exceptionally well-preserved facing portrait aureus of Licinius II (lot 577). The sale draws to a close with an extremely interesting series of coins of Constantine I including wonderful

aurei, solidi and an exceedingly rare nine siliquae (lot 583). We cannot end without mentioning the magnificent solidus of Crispus (lot 585) which is staggeringly well-preserved. We have no doubt that collectors of Roman gold coins

will

be able to appreciate the quality

the coins offered in this catalogue and will enjoy admiring the taste and expertise of anonymous collector who formed this superb collection. The remaining coins of this collection

will

be offered over the course of 20 I 8.
