PESCENNIUS NIGER, AR Denarius, Spes reverse, VF 


Pescennius Niger, AR Denarius, 2.1g IMP C PESC NIGER IVS AVG COS II, Laureate head right / BONAE SPES Spes, personifying hope, walking left holding flower, lifting skirt. F, RIC IV 6var, RSC 3bvar. Comes with the original CNG inventory tag.

Although the exact birth date of Gaius Pescennius Niger Iustus is not known, he was in his early thirties when his chance at being Emperor of Rome came about, after the murder of Pertinax. Niger's family was of Equestrian rank, which facilitated his installation as Consul, and later, as Governor of Syria, both at a young age. Had Niger been closer to Rome when Didius took power, Niger's popularity might have given him the edge over his rival generals. But even though his troops had acclaimed him as their Emperor, Niger was forced to wait in Syria while the power struggle in Rome went on. Eventually, Septimius Severus pursued Niger, and defeated his forces in the Spring of 194 at Issus, where Alexander the Great had defeated the Persians five Centuries earlier. Niger tried to flee, but was captured and executed that summer, before he could get to safety in Parthia.

NOTE TO BIDDERS: I am listing this group of very rare Emperors on behalf of a long-time collector, who purchased them years ago from reputable dealers, and there is no question of their authenticity. Serious bidders only, please.
