Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.

JM34396
Romano-British Interest, Geta, silver Denarius, Victory in Britain.
Geta (AD 209-211), silver Denarius, Rome, AD 210-211, P SEPT GETA PIVS AVG BRIT, laureate head right, rev. VICTORIAE BRIT, Victory standing left, holding wreath and palm, 3.39g, 12h (RIC IV, i. 92; BMC 68). Good extremely fine, rare.
Provenance:
Believed to have been bought at A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd., December 1997
A rare type combining Geta as Augustus, with the obverse legend including BRIT and with the Victory over Britain reverse type. On the death of Septimius Severus, Caracalla and Geta quickly concluded a peace treaty with the Scottish (the Maeatae and the Caledonians), ceased their campaign and returned to Rome. No Roman emperor would ever again try to conquer Scotland.
Cassius Dio describes the Maeatae and/or the Caledonians: "They can endure hunger and cold and any kind of hardship; for they plunge into the swamps and exist there for many days with only their heads above water, and in the forests they support themselves on bark and roots, and for all emergencies they prepare a certain kind of food, the eating of a small portion of which, the size of a bean, prevents them from feeling either hunger or thirst."
