ORC100s- Commodus SESTERTIUS, RARE Juno Sospita reverse 


Commodus, Æ Sestertius, L AVREL COMMODVS AVG GERM SARM, Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Commodus, facing right. / IVNONI SISPITAE TR P II IMP II COS P P S C, Juno Sospita, wearing a goat's skin helmet, brandishes a javelin and holding a shield, while advancing on a serpent. Juno Sospita was the patron goddess of Lanuvium, where Commodus was born. Juno was the sister and consort of the god Jupiter, and queen mother of the gods, and the deity of Roman women, in various guises. As Juno Sospita, she received fervent invocations at the time of labor and the delivery of the newborn. F, heavy (25.8 gm.) flan, Struck 177 A.D., RARE, RIC III (Marcus Aurelius) 1583 (Rare), Sear/RCV 5762, BMC IV 1669.

Lucius Aurelius Commodus succeeded his father, Marcus Aurelius, as Rome's Emperor when he was only 19. Aurelius tried to prepare his son for rule, by having him serve as his co-Emperor, starting in 177, but his death in 180, apparently left the job unfinished. Living under Commodus, who eventually became insane, became intolerable for Rome's enemies, its soldiers, and citizens - even members of the Senate. He planned to ring in the New Year in 193 by parading as a gladiator, but his enemies had had enough, and assassinated him the night before.
