Extremely rare and in exceptional quality; Depeyrot knew of only 2 examples including this coin. Ex: Sotheby, London, Auction, July 6-7, 1921, lot 132. This auction is cataloged as the property of a well known collector who was most likely Ernest John Seltman, the father of the famous numismatist John Theodore Seltman(1886-1957) as attested by Spring and Manville. Ex: Sir Arthur Evans, Ars Classica, Lucerne, Auction XVII, 1934, lot 1936. The catalog lists this coin as coming from the Montagu collection which was sold in Paris in 1896, but this coin does not appear in the Montagu catalog. Perhaps this was a private purchase outside the auction by Evans from Feurdant in Paris who handled the Montagu collection of Roman gold.

Gitta Kastner, Munich, Auction 4, November 27, 1973, lot 165 (this coin now in the British Museum= London, 1975, 0930.2 ) The sanctuary of Asclepius in Aigeai was already widely known by the 2nd century and mentioned by Serenus Sammonicus in his Liber Medicinalis. It was considered to be a triad with the Asklepions in Pergamon and Epidauros. Serenus was a tutor to Caracalla and Geta, but he was murdered in 211 during the purge of Caracalla. (Cf. Hayman, p. 157 and note 1085). Caracalla who suffered ill health visited the Askelpion in Pergamon in 214 and perhaps may have visited Aigeai on the same journey giving rise to an occasion for striking this issue. An unusual and spectacular coin, being the finest of three known and the only example in private hands; attractive collection toning.

In 350, Nepotian and a small number of followers tried to regain control of Rome after Magnentius had murdered the emperor Constans and usurped power. They were successful in wresting control for a short period having killed Magnentius' praetorian prefect Anicetus and forced the urban prefecnt Titanus to withdraw from the city. Nepotian seized power and struck coins in gold and bronze at the city. However, his reign lasted for only 28 days until Magnentius countered by sending a force against him under the command of Marcellinus. The rebels were crushed and Nepotian as well as his mother Eutropia, a half-sister of Constantine, and other supporters were killed in a violent purge.

MEC I, 138. Mettlich 64 (Witigis). BMC, Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Lombards 9 (Witigis). Exceptional quality and among the finest known examples; lovely iridescent toning. Ex: Numismatica Ars Classica, Zurich, Auction, Autumn, 1995, lot 731. There are some differing opinions with regard to the attribution of this coinage. Upon the death of Theoderic in 526, he was succeeded by his grandson Athalaric. However, since Athalaric was only a child, his mother Amalasuntha acted as regent. She was well educated, a patron of the arts, and continued a pro-Byzantine policy until the death of Athalaric in 534. She then shared power with her cousin Theodahad, but within a few months was deposed, exiled, and murdered.
The reverse monogram on this coin is the usual one for Theoderic, but he died just prior to the ascent of Justinian who is named on the obverse. Grierson in Medieval European Coinage, vol. 1 believes that Amalasuntha issued this type with the revived monogram of her father during her brief joint reign with Theodahad. Metcalf puts the issue to the next ruler, Witigis. However Witigis has silver coinage with his own name on the reverse continuing the concept introduced by Athalaric and would seem less likely to have reverted back to the monogram of Theoderic.
