(probably now in BM), Klosterneuburg, and U.S. private collection. On these the rev. legend apparently ends COS rather than COS II. This type was clearly struck in 194, when Septimius was TR P II and IMP III or IIII, so TR P IIII IMP II in the rev. legend is an error, the origin of which is obvious: the type is a rote copy of the identical type and legend on denarii of Lucius Verus of 164, Cohen 228-9. The titles apply to Lucius in 164, not Septimius in 194!" 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prieure de Sion Posted February 3, 2023 · Member Share Posted February 3, 2023 Link: 10 minutes ago, Roman Collector said: Augustus Imperator Caesar Divi filius Augustus Denarius of the Roman Imperial Period 19 BC; Material: Silver; Diameter: 22mm; Weight: 3.54g; Mint: Colonia Patricia, Lusitania; Reference: RIC I (second edition) Augustus 64 var. (head right); Provenance: Ex Roma Numismatic London; Obverse: Head of Augustus, bare, right (var.). The Inscription reads: CAESAR AVGVSTVS for Caesar Augustus; Reverse: Jupiter Tonans, standing left, in hexastyle temple, holding thunderbolt in right hand and leaning left on sceptre. The Inscription reads: IOV TON for Iovi Tonans (Jupiter thundering). Comment: Jupiter Tonans, or, in Latin spelling, ivppiter tonans ("Thundering Jove") was the aspect (numen) of Jupiter venerated in the Temple of Jupiter Tonans, which was vowed in 26 BCE by Augustus and dedicated in 22 BCE on the Capitoline Hill; the Emperor had narrowly escaped being struck by lightning during the campaign in Cantabria. An old temple in the Campus Martius had long been dedicated to Iuppiter Fulgens. The original cult image installed in the sanctuary by its founder was by Leochares, a Greek sculptor of the 4th century BCE. In the 1st century Vitruvius observed (De architectura I.2.5) the propriety or decorum required for temples of Jupiter Tonans, that they be hypaethral, open to the sky. The 1st century poet Lucan also mentions the Temple of Jupiter Tonans in Rome (De Bello Civili II.34). The sculpture at the Prado is considered to be a late 1st century replacement commissioned by Domitian. The Baroque-era restoration of the arms has given Jupiter a baton-like scepter in his raised hand. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
