Description Classical Cash and OldRomanCoins.com present: [Look at THIS!] [Look at THIS!] ORC6528 Claudius & 3rd wife, Egypt, tetr., F Claudius & Messalina, billon tetradrachm, (10.45g) Alexandria, Egypt, Partial legend. Laureate head right, LA before. / Little legend. Messalina standing, head left, leaning on column, holding two small figures symbolizing their two children: Octavia & Britannicus (?)). BMC2648; Dattari 119; RPC 5113. RPC notes, ''Messalina, who is shown as Demeter, holds two small figures. These were traditionally identified as the children of Claudius and Messalina, Britannicus and Octavia, but Dattari (RIN 1900, pp 383-4) rejected this view, since Britannicus was born in 42 and the coin type is first used in 41; but Vogt (pp. 24-25) returned to the traditional descriptions, arguing that the date of Britannicus's birth was not certain, and that these coins, in fact show that he was born before August 41.'' F, porous. The use of Messalina as Demeter may be reflected in the Roman Imperial dupondii with legend, CERES AVGVSTA SC. The first dupondii may show Messalina as Ceres, while later issues, with PP, show Agrippina Jr. as Ceres. PLEASE CLICK HERE to see ALL the wonderful items in this week's sale!
