ERIC II Rarity list #80 celebration continues. Post those missing rulers!!

I mentioned in my Maximus Caesar post that I would be posting my updated ERIC II Rarity list for my 80th celebration. I don't have as many pending this time because there were a few coins that I ordered and paid for that it looks like I won't be receiving them - long story.

It's a little slow today I think and let's have some fun if we can. If you have a ERIC II list already, post it here in this thread. If you don't have one, post a Imperial ruler that I don't have to give me some ideas for future coins too. For example, I don't have #13 Vespasian, or #40 Trajan Decius. Imperials and Provincials are welcome.

Post em if you got em!!

I dont mess with these lists since it isnt a goal to get them all.

But two scarce ladies for yours

Aquilia Severa


Orbiana

 

Very nice ladies. Both of those will be extremely difficult for me to fill later on. I'll add them to my wish list. lol

It's fine, we all have different collecting goals. Getting over 100 Roman rulers is mine, currently. I have other goals as well. But that is the main one.

 

Alright. I'll bite. I'll start off with the highest (most common) coin on your list that you don't have. You've inspired me to start my own ERIC rarity list.


Vespasian: AD 69-79
AE As; 28mm/10.1g
OBV; IMP CAESAR VESP AVG COS V CENS, laureate head right/
REV; S-C, Spes advancing left, holding flower & raising hem of robe. Rome mint.
(Cohen 452, RIC I 360a)

 

Very nice Vespasian As. I've been planning on getting one soon as I've seen one fairly affordable and decent grade. Not as nice as yours though.

 

Magnia Urbica
AE Antoninianus.
Obv:– MAGNIA VRBICA AVG, Draped bust right on crescent, hair brushed in straight lines, plait carried up the back to top of head and running under stephane
Rev:– VENVS GENETRIX, Venus standing facing, head left, apple upward in right hand, vertical scepter in left
Minted in Lugdunum (A in left field).
RIC V pt. 2, 337 var (not listed from this officina). Bastien -, Bastien Supplement -, Bastien Supplement II 613α (2 examples cited)
23mm, 3.16g

 

Very nice Magnia Urbica. Another difficult to fill coin. I recently seen a very low grade one for over $100.

 

Vabalathus is #109? I wonder how I ended up with 8 of them? Oh yeah, I am a hoarder. But yeah, anything past 140 or so starts become really obscure, really fast.

 

The dual headed Aurelian/Vabalathus is not counted for #109. If you have 8 of the other ones, you have some fairly valuable coins.

 

Oh, ok. Those are the ones I own. Figures.

I wonder why? Vabalathus is on the obverse, with Aurelian on the reverse, so I wonder why its not counted as a Vabalathus?

 

.Aurelian is the obverse, actually. Aurelian has the radiate crown and with the legend of IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG.

Vabalathus is on the reverse, laureate bust. VABALATHVS VCR IM DR

 

Did someone say "obscure"?

#141) Johannes, Western Roman Empire
AE nummus
Obv: D N IOHANN-ES P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped bust right
Rev: SALVS REI-PVBLICAE, Victory holding trophy and dragging captive, Chi-Rho to left
Mint: Rome (mintmark RM in ex, struck 423-425 AD)
Ref: RIC X 1913






#151) Majorian, Western Roman Empire
AE Nummus
Obv: D N IVL MAIORIANVS PER AVG, pearl-diademed, draped bust right
Rev: VICTORI-A AVGGG, Victory advancing right, holding palm branch and trophy
Mint: Milan (mintmark MD in ex, struck 457-461 AD)
Ref: RIC X 2642




#160) Libius Severus, Western Roman Empire
AE nummus
Obv: D N LIBIVS SEVERVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped bust right
Rev: Monogram of Ricimer within wreath
Mint: Rome (struck 461-467 AD)
Ref: RIC X 2715

 

But the mint/control mark is on Aurelian's side. I have a few at work with me, (have to have ancient coins nearby to hold, right), so I just checked. I would think the side with mint or control marks at the bottom would be the reverse, plus I thought I had read they proved Vabalathus was struck on the bottom die, (obverse die).

 

That's one reason why I think Vabalathus is on the obverse. Wildwinds also has these on the Vabalathus page and apparently treats the Vabalathus side as the obverse (describes the Vabalathus side first, then the Claudius II side). Plus the city these were struck in, Antioch, was under the control of Vabalathus's Palmyrene Empire. For these reasons I would count this type for him

That being said, I still don't have a coin of him

 

Very cool thread idea, Daryl (once again => congrats on Hitting 80 Rulers!!)

#13 => Vespasian (AR Denarius)


#40 => Trajan Decius (AR Tetradrachm)




#42 => Tiberius (AE Dupondius)





#44 => Maximinus I (AR Denarius)




#45 => Nerva (AR Didrachm)





#50 => Titus (AR Denarius)





#58 => Lucius Verus (AE Sestertius)

 

#55 => Philip II (AE As)




#61 => Otacilia Severa (AE Sestertius)





#65 => Lucilla (AE Sestertius)





#75 => Herennia Etruscilla (AR Antoninianus)






#87 => Crispina (AE Dupondius)





#92 => Allectus (AE Quinarius)





#96 => Florian (AE Antoninianus)






#98 => Herennius Etruscus (AR Antoninianus)

 

#112 => Saloninus (Billon Tetradrachm)




#117 => Diadumenian (AE19)




#132 => Diva Julia Titi (AE Sestertius)



Ummm .... so Dude, those are the "18" coins that I own and that you're missing from your awesome list (do ya want 'em?)

=> oh and again => wow, "80" is certainly more than I have under my skinny-belt (congrats, dawg!!)

Cheers

 

I don't have many Imperials but here's one missing from your list.



Germanicus, father of Caligula
struck 42/43 AD under Claudius, Rome mint
AE As, 30mm
Obv: bare head right; GERMANICVS CAESAR TI AVG F DIVI AVG N
Rev: TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR P IMP P P around large SC
Ref: RIC I 106 (Claudius); Sear5 #1905; Cohen 9; BMC 241
from a mostly undescribed large mixed lot, Goldberg, Sept 2013

 

i got this little ae 4 out of an uncleaned lot i purchased months ago. cleaned it up this weekend. nothing amazing, but it was a pleasant surprise, i didn't have any coins form this guy....



delmatius

ric vii siscia 256

Then I guess those coins will have to be counted as Vabalathus. I assumed they were Aurelian and I believe RIC has them as such.
