Concludo
osservando che la moneta presenta caratteristiche
fisiche e di stile che non si discostano da quelle
dei conî d'epoca. Il suo valore venale non
dovrebbe verosimilmente superare i 30,00€.
Un saluto
cordiale.

Dalla tabella
si evince che le caratteristiche fisiche dell'asse
di figura comunicate dal lettore (10,5g, 26-27mm,
6h) rientrano nei margini di variabilità dei conî
d'epoca.
(2) DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER. Il Mattingly
sostiene che la moneta sia stata coniata sotto
Tiberio (14÷37 d. C.), probabilmente nell'ultimo
periodo del suo regno, per onorare la memoria del
padre adottivo, l'imperatore Augusto. Di qui la
parola "PATER" che allude probabilmente al titolo
di "PATER PATRIAE" di cui il defunto era stato
onorato in vita. Il dritto della moneta riproduce
verosimilmente il ritratto di Augusto nella statua
che Tiberio e Livia avevano fatto erigere in suo
onore nei pressi del teatro Marcello. La testa
radiata dell'imperatore, mutuata dal culto del dio
Sole dei re d'Egitto e di Siria, comincia ora ad
apparire sulle monete imperiali. Si ricorderà in
proposito che lo stesso Augusto aveva fatto
erigere due obelischi al Sole, il 10 a. C., al
Circo e al Campo Marzio.
(3) S. C. (Senatus Consulto, "per
decreto del Senato") era la consueta sigla apposta
sui nominali in bronzo romani (sesterzi, dupondi e
assi) ad indicare la competenza esclusiva del
Senato Romano nelle decisioni attinenti alle
emissioni di quelle monete (la monetazione in oro
e in argento, che non riporta quella sigla,
rientrava invece nelle competenze dirette
dell'imperatore).
(4) L'altare costituisce un riferimento
diretto al culto di Augusto deificato. La leggenda
"PROVIDENT" (da "providentia", previdenza) in
esergo va intesa come allusione alla saggezza e
alla vista lunga dello scomparso. Il rovescio
della moneta rappresenta il recinto e la porta
d'accesso pannellata ad un altare. Gli oggetti
rappresentati in alto a d. e a s. del recinto,
sono probabilmente corni d'altare. |
