DETAIL: This is a very handsome silver denarius produced in the city of Rome itself in 196 or 197 A.D. It is in very good condition, only modest wear from circulation in ancient Rome. It was well struck both front and back the result a little oblong (quite common to the era). As was characteristic, the planchet (blank) was generous in the sense that it is a nice thick coin, but it is just a little undersized, too small to catch the entire strike, and so some of the legend on both obverse and reverse are truncated at the top flan. However unlike most coins of the era, the strike is well centered, so that the entirety of the theme was captured, and this is applicable to both the obverse as well as the reverse. The coin is a very thick, almost as if it were ancient Greek coin, and the obverse side is struck in very high relief.
The reverse strike is of slightly lower profile, this consequence of the fact that the Roman mints tended to use the reverse dies about three times as long as they did the obverse dies (which of course contained the portrait of the emperor). In fact in many instances as the reverse die wore (excessively), the coins struck from them became progressively lower and profile, until finally in many cases the reverse was almost indeterminable. This specimen is not at all in such a sad condition. In any event, consequentially, the reverse sides of most Roman coins will be of lower profile than the obverse side, and this is the case with this particular specimen, an interesting though certainly not unique or uncommon feature. On the whole it is without a doubt a very nice specimen, the fact that it is slightly undersized more than made up by the thickness of the coin and the height of the relief of Emperor Septimus Serverus's portrait.
The obverse of the coin depicts the head of the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus, depicted with laureate crown; and although a portion of the legend is missing due to the slightly undersized nature of the coin, it was originally accompanied by the legend "L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP VIII". "L SEPT SEV" of course refers to the Emperor's name, "Lucius Septimius Severus". "PERT" refers to the "title" or name "Pertinax"; in reference to one of the shorter-lived Emperors of the Roman Imperial Period, Publius Helvius Pertinax. Pertinax had enjoyed a long career in public service, first in the military, then as a Senator, and finally the perfect of the city of Rome at the time Commodus (the insane son of Marcus Aurelius of "Gladiator" fame), was murdered, having completely disgraced the purple with his publicly stated belief that he was the reincarnation of Hercules and his public spectacles fighting wild beasts in the Amphitheatre.
Pertinax had a reputation as a disciplinarian, had attracted the attention and respect of Marcus Aurelius, and he seemed the perfect choice as an Emperor to restore order to Rome after the murder of Commodus. Pertinax reluctantly accepted the throne when it was offered to him by the Praetorian Perfect and the other conspirators behind Commodus's death. However the strict reforms and economic measures he immediately instituted made him quite unpopular with the Praetorian Guard (the Emperor's "body guard") - especially his decision to pay them a very small "donative" - the customary gesture a new Emperor made to the Praetorian Guard. Kind of a bribe to ensure good behavior - there simply were not adequate funds in the treasury - and Pertinax was not an exceptionally wealthy man. Feeling offended and demeaned, the Praetorian Guard invaded the palace and murdered Pertinax after a reign of only 86 days.
There was a rapid succession of contenders to the throne, including one wealthy Senator who "purchased" the throne and title of Emperor from the Praetorian Guard; as well as three different generals who were proclaimed Emperor by their legions. One of the three was Septimius Severus, who had been loyal to Pertinax for the latter's short reign. Ultimately Septimius Severus prevailed over the other contenders to the throne. In a tribute to Pertinax, Septimius Severus took the former Emperor's name, deified Pertinax, and became Septimius Severus Pertinax. It is believed by historians that Septimius Severus saw himself as the avenger of Pertinax. Septimius Severus eventually dropped the use of the name "Pertinax", it is believed after having a dream (an "omen") that he would meet the same fate as Pertinax (murdered at the hands of the Praetorian Guard) if he kept the name of Pertinax.
The suffix "AVG" was an abbreviation for Augustus. The term "Augustus" is Latin for "majestic" (thus the honorific salutation "your majesty"). However the term "Augustus" in the common vernacular of the Roman Empire became synonymous with the Emperor. The first "Augustus" (and first man counted as a Roman Emperor) was Octavius, Julis Caesar's nephew and heir. Octavian was given the title of Augustus by the Senate in 27 B.C. Over the next forty years, Caesar Augustus literally set the standard by which subsequent Emperors would be recognized, accumulating various offices and powers and making his own name ("Augustus") identifiable with the consolidation of these powers under a single person. Although the name signified nothing in constitutional theory, it was recognized as representing all the powers that Caesar Augustus eventually accumulated.
Caesar Augustus also set the standard by which Roman Emperors were named. The three titles used by the majority of Roman Emperors; "Imperator", "Caesar", and "Augustus" were all used personally by Caesar Augustus (he officially styled himself "Imperator Caesar Augustus"). However of the name "Augustus" was unique to the Emperor himself (though the Emperor's mother or wife could bear the name "Augusta"). But others could and did bear the titles "Imperator" and "Caesar". Later usage saw the Emperor adding the additional titles "Pius Felix ("pious and blessed") and "Invictus" ("unconquered") in addition to the title "Augustus"). In this usage, by signifying the complete assumption of all Imperial powers, "Augustus" became roughly synonymous with "Emperor" in modern language. As the Roman Empire began splintering, Augustus came to be the title applied to the senior Emperor, while the title "Caesar" came to refer to his "junior" sub-Emperors.
The "IMP VIII" is an abbreviation for "Imperator". Imperator was originally a title or acclamation awarded to victorious generals in the field during the Republic Period (before Julius Caesar). Throughout the history of Republican Rome, the title was bestowed upon an especially able general who had won an enormous victory. Traditionally it was the troops in the field that proclaimed a man imperator - the first step in the process of the general applying to the senate for a triumph (a ceremony both civil and religious held in Rome itself to publicly honor the general and to display/parade the glories and trophies of Roman victory). Septimius was to receive eleven imperatorial acclamations during the time he was Emperor. This particular acclamation, number eight, refers to the capture of Byzantium toward the end of the civil war.
This particular acclamation, number eight, refers to the capture of Byzantium toward the end of the civil war. Byzantium represented the last bastion of the influence of Pescennius Niger, one of the claimants to the throne after the death of Commodus. Niger had actually perished two years earlier when Antioch had fallen, but even after his death Byzantium refused to yield to the victor, Septimius Severus. The city of Byzantium withstood a siege by Severan troops until 196 A.D., possibly on the hope that a third rival to the principate, the governor of Britain Clodius Albinus, nominally allied with Niger, would defeat Severus in the West. However on 19 February 197 A.D., in the Battle of Lugdunum, with an army of 100,000 men, mostly composed of Illyrian, Moesian and Dacian legions, Severus defeated and killed Clodius Albinus, securing his full control over the Empire.
"IMP" could also be the abbreviation for "Imperatrix", which was the title of the wife an Imperator. After Augustus Octavian (Julius Caesar's successor) had established the hereditary, one-man rule in Rome that we refer to as the Imperial Roman Empire, the title Imperator was restricted to the emperor and members of his immediate family. If a general who was not part of the imperial family was acclaimed by his troops as Imperator, it was tantamount to a declaration of rebellion or civil war against the ruling emperor. Though the title Augustus is probably the closest Latin equivalent to the English word emperor; it was eventually the term Imperator which became the root of the English word "Imperial".
The emperor is depicted "laureate", or wearing a wreath or crown composed of laurel, or "bay leaves". This wreath of laurel leaves is an attribute of the Graeco-Roman God Apollo, and is a symbol of victory. In Greek Mythology, Apollo fell in love with the legendary mountain nymph Daphene. Daphene, anxious to escape Apollo's amorous interests, asked the Gods of Olympus to change her into a bay tree. Thereafter Apollo always wore a laurel wreath made from the leaves of her sacred tree to show is never failing love for her. Apollo also declared that wreaths were to be awarded to victors, both in athletic competitions and poetic meets under his care.
Laurel wreaths became the prize awarded in athletic, musical, and poetic competitions. For instance by the 6th century B.C., the winners of the ancient Greek Pythian Games (forerunner of the Olympics and held every four years at Delphi) were awarded a wreath of laurel leaves. Ancient Greek coins from at least as far back as the second century B.C. depict laurel wreaths worn by not only Apollo, but also Athena, Saturn, Jupiter, Victory (Nike), and Salus. Eventually the custom of awarding a wreath of laurel leaves was extended from victors of athletic events to the victors of military endeavors. The symbolism was inherited (or mimicked) by the Romans, to whom the bestowal of a laurel wreath became the sign of a victorious general acclaimed by his troops.
After defeating Pompey, the Roman Senate not only voted Julius Caesar Imperator for life, but also awarded him the right to wear the laurel wreath in perpetuity. From that point on it is said that Julius Caesar always appeared in public laureate, and all of his coinage depicted Julius Caesar wearing the laurel leaf crown. Thus the laurel leaf crown became associated not only with the victorious general, but became a symbol of the office of Caesar and Imperator. There were other types of wreaths in Graeco-Roman Mythology as well. Dionysus was oftentimes depicted either with a wreath of ivy or with a wreath composed of grape leaves. Zeus was oftentimes depicted with a wreath of oak leaves, and wreathes of roses became associated with Aphrodite. As well, funeral wreaths became a Roman custom, and were often carved into the decorative elements of a sarcophagus.
Lucius Septimius Severus was born in 146 AD at Leptis Magna in Africa (near Carthage) to noble parents. It is believed that he was made a Senator by Emperor Marcus Aurelius in 172 A.D. He was reputed to be a soldier of outstanding ability, and was promoted through a series of increasingly important commands. One of those commands under the Emperor Marcus Aurelius was of the legion based at Emesa, Syria. Emesa was an important religious center/city sited on the trade route between Palmyra and Antioch. And it was there in 187 A.D. that Septimius Severus was to meet Julia Domna, the daughter of the High Priest of the Sun God Elagabal. In 187 A.D. Julia Domna was married Lucius Septimius Severus as his second wife (his first had died). Julia Domna and her sister Mulia Maesa were the beginning of four generations of "Syrian Princesses" which were the power behind the Roman Throne. Of Julia Maesa's two daughters, Julia Soaemias was the mother of future Emperor Elagablus; Julia Mamae was the mother of future Emperor Alexander Severus.
After the death of Marcus Aurelius, as semi-fictionalized by the movie "Gladiator", his despotic son Commodus became Emperor of Rome. At the death of Commodus in 192 A.D., Septimius was governor of Upper Pannonia (an appointment he had received from Commodus in 190 A.D.). He swore allegiance to the new emperor, Pertinax. However Pertinax was murdered the following year, and the Praetorian Guards publicly announced that they would elect as the new emperor whomsoever would pay them the highest price. Didius Julianus, a wealthy Senator, offered 25,000 sestertii (for each of the Praetorian Guards), and was proclaimed emperor. Eventually there were four "emperors" laying claim to the throne, Septimius Severus, Clodius Albinus, Pescennius Niger, and Didius Julianus. Septimius Severus advanced on Rome and beheaded Didius Julianus after Didius had been emperor for a mere 66 days. The following year Septimius's troops defeated Niger's troops, and Septimius executed Niger. And in 197 AD, after his army was defeated in battle by Septimius's army, Albinus committed suicide.
Septimius Severus's relationship with the Roman Senate was never good. He was unpopular with them from the beginning, having seized power with the help of the military. Severus ordered the execution of dozens of senators on charges of corruption and conspiracy against him, replacing them with his own favorites. He also disbanded the Praetorian Guard and replaced it with one of his own, made up of 50,000 loyal soldiers camped in and around Rome. Although his actions turned Rome into a military dictatorship, he was popular with the citizens of Rome, having stamped out the moral degeneration of the reign of Commodus and the rampant corruption. When he returned from his victory over the Parthians, he erected a triumphal arch that still stands and bears his name to this day.
Septimius Severus spent much of his reign conducting military campaigns in different parts of the empire, as well as visiting the provinces. In 208 AD he campaigned in Britain against barbarians of the north, and made repairs to Hadrian's Wall. He died in York on February 4, 211 AD. Septimius was succeeded by his two sons, Caracalla and Geta. Caracalla, the eldest, arranged to have his wife murdered that same year; and then orchestrated the murder of his younger brother the following year. Caracalla was himself was murdered five years later in 217 AD, at which time Septimius's surviving wife, and mother of Geta and Caracalla, Empress Julia Domna, committed suicide by starving herself to the death.
The reverse of this particular specimen portrays the Roman Goddess "Fortuna", depicted seated on a curule chair holding a (mariner's) rudder in her right hand, a cornucopiae ("horn of plenty") in her right hand, and a wheel beneath her chair. The depiction of the goddess Fortuna is accompanied by the legend "FORTVNAE REDVCI", which translates literally to "the fortuna of a lucky return". This refers to the return of Septimius to Rome after the fall of Byzantium in late 196 A.D. and the following Battle of Lugdunum in February 197 A.D. where Septimius vanquished the last contender for the throne of Rome, Clodius Albinus, thus securing his full control over the Empire.
The goddess Fortuna was borrowed from the Greeks where she was known as "Tyche", where she was worshipped as the goddess of good fortune, chance and prosperity (ancient images or Fortuna/Tyche
here,

and here,
and here. Many cities in the ancient Greek world were believed to be under the special protection of the Goddess Tyche. The Roman version known as "Fortuna" was revered as the goddess of fortune and good luck. As in this instance, she is typically portrayed holding a rudder, oftentimes resting atop a globe, alluding to Rome's dominance of the known world's maritime industry, and the "good fortune" it brought to Rome in the form of grain from Egypt and North Africa. Again as in this instance, she is also usually portrayed holding a cornucopiae in her role as bestower of blessings.
A cornucopiae of course is a "horn of plenty", a symbol of abundance generally a wicker container filled with fruits or vegetables. Used since at least the fifth century B.C., it seems to have originated in Greek mythology where Amalthea raised Zeus on the milk of a goat. In return Zeus gave her the goat's horn. It had the power to give to the person in possession of it whatever he or she wished for. This gave rise to the legend of the cornucopia. The original depictions were of the goat's horn filled with fruits and flowers. On occasion a wheel or ball will be shown beside her (in this instance a wheel is depicted beneath her chair), and sometimes an olive branch or a patera. A "patera" was a broad, flat, round dish used for drinking (wine more often than not) and ceremonially for offering libations.
Fortuna was worshiped in the most remote antiquity in Italy as the goddess of nature and the goddess of fate. According to legend her worship was introduced by King Servius Tullius, the sixth King of Rome (578-534 BC), who was also credited with introducing silver and bronze coinage, the census, and the Servian Constitution. He was said to have founded her oldest sanctuaries on the right bank of the Tiber River below Rome. Ultimately the worship of Fortuna became one of the most popular in Italy. She was worshipped at a great number of shrines under many titles. Some of these titles included "Fortuna Primigenia", who determined the destiny of a child at birth; "Fors Fortuna", the god of luck or chance; "Fortuna Publica Romani", the goddess of the state; "Fortuna Caesaris" or "Augusta", the protectress of the Emperor; "Fortuna Privata" protectress of family life; "Fortuna Liberum" protectress of children; "Fortuna Virginalis", protectress of maidens; "Fortuna Virilis", the goddess of a woman's happiness in married life.
Fortuna was also worshipped in a military role as "Fortuna Victrix", giver of victory; "Fortuna Dux" protectress of the leader; "Fortuna Redux" who brought safe homecomings, particular the safe homecoming of the Emperor (returning from the far-flung provinces back to the capital city of Rome, an event generally declared a holiday); and "Fortuna Tranquilla", the giver of prosperous voyages. "Fortuna Tranquilla" was along with Portunus was the patron goddess of the harbor of Rome, and it was this role which is alluded to by the rudder so often depicted in the coinage of Fortuna. As well the rudder alluded to Fortuna's role as Rome's "pilot of destiny", and was also allegory to the return of Rome's victorious legionary armies from deployments. The Emperor Trajan established a special temple in her honor as the supreme power of the world. At that temple a special sacrifice was offered to her each New Year's Day. An emperor whose reign was especially blessed by Fortuna would be referred to on coinage of the reign as "Felix"; meaning fortunate, blessed, or simply lucky.
Scattered through Rome were thirty lesser temples to Fortuna. History records that the Emperor Nero built a temple to Fortuna of transparent stones. The common people regarded her as a divinity who distributed good and evil, fortune and misfortune, among mankind according to her caprice, casually and carelessly, and without any regard to merit. The Romans believed that Fortuna had bestowed her good fortune first upon the Persians and Assyrians, who ultimately she deserted in favor of Alexander the Great. With the passing of Alexander she "relocated" and bestowed her blessing upon Egypt and Syria. But discovering Rome's Palatine Hill, she finally found her home, and entered Rome where she took up her abode for ever.
Fortuna appears on a great number of Roman coins, both standing and seated, sometimes veiled, but always wearing the stola. The stola was a sleeveless outer garment worn by mature women over the tunic (or chemise). More often than not she was depicted holding in her right hand a rudder, a tiller, or resting on the prow of a ship, and in her left hand, a cornucopia. Occasionally she might be depicted with a wheel at her feet or under the Curule chair/throne she is seated upon (the wheel being the symbol of Fortuna's "dark side", her manifestation as "Nemesis", or misfortune; see here), and sometimes the rudder is sitting atop a globe. On rare occasion she is depicted with a cauduceus or with her arm resting upon a column. Fortuna was said to distribute wealth from her cornucopiae, and to steer by her rudder the government of human affairs.
In the Roman Republic, and later the Empire, the curule chair (or throne) was the chair upon which senior magistrates or promagistrates were entitled to sit, including dictators, masters of the horse, consuls, praetors, priests of Jupiter, and the curule aediles. In the latter Republic, Caesar the Dictator was entitled to sit upon a curule chair made of gold. The curule chair was traditionally made of ivory; with curved legs forming a wide X; it had no back, and low arms. The chair could be folded, and thus made easily transportable for magisterial and promagesterial commanders in the field. According to the (ancient) Roman Historian Livy the curule chair originated with the Etruscans, though there is evidence that before then it might have originated with Near East potentates.
The cauduceus was in Greek Mythology originally an attribute of Hermes ("Mercury" to the Romans), messenger of the gods of Mount Olympus. The cauduceus was originally an enchanter's wand, a symbol of the power that produces wealth and prosperity, and also an emblem of the influence over the living and the dead. But even in early times it was regarded as a herald's staff and an emblem of peaceful intercourse. It consisted of three shoots, one of which formed the handle, the other two being intertwined at the top in a knot. The place of the latter two intertwined shoots was eventually taken by serpents and was an attribute of Asclepius, the Graeco-Roman God of Medicine.

HISTORY: Coins came into being during the seventh century B.C. in Lydia and Ionia, part of the Greek world, and were made from a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver. Each coin blank was heated and struck with a hammer between two engraved dies. Unlike modern coins, they were not uniformly round. Each coin was wonderfully unique. Coinage quickly spread to the island and city states of Western Greece. Alexander the Great (336-323 B.C.) then spread the concept of coinage throughout the lands he conquered. Ancient coins are archaeological treasures from the past. They were buried for safekeeping because of their value and have been slowly uncovered throughout modern history. Oftentimes soldiers the night before battle would bury their coins and jewelry, hoping and believing that they would live long enough to recover them, and to return to their family. Killed in battle, these little treasure hoards remain until today scattered throughout Western and Eastern Europe, even into the Levant and Persia.
As well, everyone from merchants to housewives found the safest place to keep their savings was buried in a pot, or in some other secretive location. If they met an unexpected end, the whereabouts of the merchants trade goods or the household's sugar jar money might never be known. Recently a commercial excavation for a new building foundation in London unearthed a Roman mosaic floor. When archaeologists removed the floor, they found 7,000 silver denarii secreted beneath the floor. Even the Roman mints buried their produce. There were over 300 mints in the Roman Empire striking coinage. Hoards of as many as 40,000 coins have been found in a single location near these ancient sites. Ancient coins reflect the artistic, political, religious, and economic themes of their times. The acquisition of ancient coins is a unique opportunity to collect art which has been appreciated throughout the centuries.
Coins of the Roman Empire most frequently depicted the Emperor on the front of the coins, and were issued in gold, silver, and bronze. The imperial family was also frequently depicted on the coinage, and, in some cases, coins depicted the progression of an emperor from boyhood through maturity. The reverse side of often served as an important means of political propaganda, frequently extolling the virtues of the emperor or commemorating his victories. Many public works and architectural achievements such as the Coliseum and the Circus Maximus were also depicted. Important political events such as alliances between cities were recorded on coinage. Many usurpers to the throne, otherwise unrecorded in history, are known only through their coins. Interestingly, a visually stunning portrayal of the decline of the Roman Empire is reflected in her coinage. The early Roman bronze coins were the size of a half-dollar. Within 100-150 years those had shrunk to the size of a nickel. And within another 100-150 years, to perhaps half the size of a dime.
One of the greatest civilizations of recorded history was the ancient Roman Empire. In exchange for a very modest amount of contemporary currency, you can possess a small part of that great civilization in the form of a 2,000 year old piece of jewelry. The Roman civilization, in relative terms the greatest military power in the history of the world, was founded in the 8th century (B.C.). In the 4th Century (B.C.) the Romans were the dominant power on the Italian Peninsula, having defeated the Etruscans and Celts. In the 3rd Century (B.C.) the Romans conquered Sicily, and in the following century defeated Carthage, and controlled the Greece. Throughout the remainder of the 2nd Century (B.C.) the Roman Empire continued its gradual conquest of the Hellenistic (Greek Colonial) World by conquering Syria and Macedonia; and finally came to control Egypt in the 1st Century (B.C.).
The pinnacle of Roman power was achieved in the 1st Century (A.D.) as Rome conquered much of Britain and Western Europe. For a brief time, the era of "Pax Romana", a time of peace and consolidation reigned. Civilian emperors were the rule, and the culture flourished with a great deal of liberty enjoyed by the average Roman Citizen. However within 200 years the Roman Empire was in a state of steady decay, attacked by Germans, Goths, and Persians. In the 4th Century (A.D.) the Roman Empire was split between East and West. The Great Emperor Constantine temporarily arrested the decay of the Empire, but within a hundred years after his death the Persians captured Mesopotamia, Vandals infiltrated Gaul and Spain, and the Goths even sacked Rome itself. Most historians date the end of the Western Roman Empire to 476 (A.D.) when Emperor Romulus Augustus was deposed. However the Eastern Roman Empire (The Byzantine Empire) survived until the fall of Constantinople in 1453 A.D.
At its peak, the Roman Empire stretched from Britain in the West, throughout most of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe, and into Asia Minor. Valuables such as coins and jewelry were commonly buried for safekeeping, and inevitably these ancient citizens would succumb to one of the many perils of the ancient world. Oftentimes the survivors of these individuals did not know where the valuables had been buried, and today, two thousand years later caches of coins and rings are still commonly uncovered throughout Europe and Asia Minor. Roman Soldiers oftentimes came to possess large quantities of "booty" from their plunderous conquests, and routinely buried their treasure for safekeeping before they went into battle. If they met their end in battle, most often the whereabouts of their treasure was likewise, unknown. Throughout history these treasures have been inadvertently discovered by farmers in their fields, uncovered by erosion, and the target of unsystematic searches by treasure seekers. With the introduction of metal detectors and other modern technologies to Eastern Europe in the past three or four decades, an amazing number of new finds are seeing the light of day 2,000 years or more after they were originally hidden by their past owners. And with the liberalization of post-Soviet Eastern Europe, new markets have opened eager to share in these treasures of the Roman Empire.
