Good VF. Juba II (c. 50 BC—24 AD) was son of Juba I and king of the North African states of Numidia (29–25 BC) and Mauretania (25 BC– 24 AD). As a child of about five Juba was paraded in Rome in Caesar’s triumphal procession after the death of Juba I but subsequently was given a good education in Italy. Octavian (the future emperor Augustus) befriended Juba when he was a young man and in 29 BC installed him as king of Numidia, which had been a Roman province since the defeat of Juba I in 46. In 25 Juba was made ruler of Mauretania, which he governed until his death. His first wife, Cleopatra Selene, daughter of Mark Antony and Cleopatra, exercised great influence on his policies.

AR. 3.51 g. 18.50 mm. RR. Scratch on reverse. Very rare. Two expressive, masterly engraved portraits. Lightly toned. VF. Perhaps more than any other emperor of Rome Caligula honored his family on his coinage, both living and deceased members. Besides his surviving sisters, amongst those so honored were his great-grandfather Augustus, his grandfather Agrippa, his father Germanicus, and his mother and his two brothers, Agrippina I and Nero and Drusus Caesars, the latter three succumbing in the family's contest for power against Sejanus, Tiberius's notorious Praetorian Prefect. Early in his reign, Caligula journeyed to the island of Pandataria, where his mother had died while cruelly imprisoned at the order of Tiberius, and recovered her ashes. Agrippina had been a strong critic of Tiberius' principate, questioning him about the mysterious circumstances of her husband's death and also accusing him of having attempted to poison her. Under Sejanus' manipulation, Tiberius' animosity towards her and her family grew increasingly stronger, which eventually lead to them being convicted of plotting against him. Nero starved to death while imprisoned in Rome, and Drusus committed suicide shortly after the trial. Agrippina, however, was banished to the island of Pandataria where she was imprisoned under very brutal circumstances (she lost an eye while being flogged, and she was regularly withheld nourishment). Eventually she died there of starvation. (Ira & Larry Goldberg 80, 3117 note).

AR. 2.98 g. 19.00 mm. R. Rough surfaces. About VF. Domitia Longina, daughter of the great general Cn. Domitius Carbulo, who by his eastern campaigns gave Nero his triumphal arch only to be rewarded by execution in 66, married Domitian in 70. She gave him a daughter in 82, and a son in the following year, who evidently died at, or not long after, birth. On this coin, the image of the dead child is that of a young Jupiter in celestial bliss seated on the celestial globe and surrounded by the seven stars (septemtriones), an asterism of the constellation Great Bear (Ursa Maior), today known as the Big Dipper or Plough. According to Greek and Roman tradition, the Great and Little Bears originated as the wet nurses Helike and Cynosure, who protected and raised Jupiter as a youth in Crete, and were rewarded by being placed in heaven among the constellations.
