RIC 130. AAfter Macrinus Caracalla performed the assassination and became emperor, Julia Maesa started a propaganda feud against him by claiming that her 14 years old grandson Elagabalus was an extramarital child of Caracalla.This had an immediate effect, and soon Macrinus was killed.Julia Maesa was the sister of Julia Domna, Caracalla's mother.Elagabalus took the same name as Caracalla:Marcus Aurelius Antonius. His popularity faded due to him being publicly open about his homosexuality, and due to the imposing of the worshipping of the sun on the Romans.When this came to the attention of Julia Maesa, she had Elagabalus and her daughter Julia Soaemias killed, and her other grandson, Alexander Severus, was crowned as emperor.Louis Couperus wrote a novel on his life: "The Mountain of Light".

M ANTONINVS AVG ARM PARTH MAX, laurelled head facing right / TR P XX IMP IIII COS III, PAX, Pax facing right with a branch and a cornucopia RIC 159 corr (Pax seated); BMCRE 401; RSC 435. Nearly Extremely Fine.The Roman war against the Parthians lasted from 161 to 166 A.D., when Lucius Verus and Marcus Aurelius captured their capital Ctesiphon. This coin was struck in that latter year, to celebrate the successful campaign. Marcus Aurelius was the last of the 5 good emperors. He was a nephew of Faustina I. Hadrian was very impressed by the young man and saw to it that he was adopted by Antoninus Pius. Antoninus Pius arranged a marriage between Marcus and Faustina II. When Pius died, Marcus appointed Lucius Verus as co-emperor. Marcus Aurelius was a philosophical emperor and tried to enlighten his empire. In the end Marcus Aurelius appointed his son Commodus as emperor and thus brought an end to the principle of adopted emperors. A big mistake, because Commodus was incapable and therefore disaster was brought down on the empire and its future.Please see image for your own impression. Read More

Roman Empire – silver denarius of emperor Severus

Alexander AD . RomeDenar AR20 mm, 3.47 g.IMP C M AVR SEV ALEXAND AVG, laureled and draped bust to the right / VIRT-VS AVG, Virtus to the right, with helmet, spear and shield.Extremely Fine. BMC 278; Cohen 576; RIC 182.Severus Alexander was the beloved cousin of Elagabalus and was exalted to Caesar when he was still emperor. His popularity grew steadily and Elagabalus began to see him as a threat. Elagabalus tried to kill him, but the army chose the side of Severus Alexander and Elagabalus was assassinated. Thirteen years of relative peace followed. It was the first time since Marcus Aurelius that an emperor was sopopular, both for his love of art and the prosperity he brought. His only, and later fatal, flaw was his adoration of his mother Julia Mamaea. Her involvement in state affairs was a growing source of aggravation for the military and the Senate, and ultimately led to both of them being killed. Read More
