D.11. Coins. By Theodore Buttrey. D The Material

D.11. Coins By Theodore Buttrey D.11.1. The Material Two groups of coins constitute the numismatic material discovered in the excavations of the Villa of Horace, with possibly a third. The first (A) comprises the 82 pieces recovered in 1911-1916, the second (B) contains the 16 pieces found in 1997-1999. A third group (C) is the collection of 12 pieces currently on display in the museum of Licenza. Their provenience is unstated and they might simply be scattered local finds, although they are displayed along with material from the Villa proper and are chronologically consistent with Groups A and B. D.11.1.1. Group A: coins found 1911-1916 These were identified by Pasqui and published by Lugli. They can no longer be found; it is reported that they were stolen from the old Antiquarium of Licenza in the early 1990s. A photographic record of the coins had been made in the 1970s (see Frischer, G.1.16.17.1-1.16.17.2) but it cannot be used now. Not only is the quality so poor as to compromise the identification of some of the coins, but in all cases the coins are photographed on only one side, making confirmation of anyone s attribution impossible. For this group one must rely on the manuscripts and the printed record. According to the manuscript catalogue (see Frischer, G.1.12.3) there were 82 coins all told, of which three were silver denarii, the rest bronze of various denominations. One detail is striking: all of the coins were legible to some degree, and most to the point of being identifiable in the 19th-century catalogue of Cohen. 2 This is in complete contrast to the difficult legibility of Groups B and C. It seems likely that more coins than these were actually found, but only these were sufficiently helpful to the excavator; the rest were ignored (or not. Lugli 926, 1926, cols. 588-590. 2. H. Cohen, Description historique des monnaies frappées sous l Empire Romaine, 2nd ed. (Paris 1880-1892). recognized as coins). In fact, the records indicate that such was the case. Our information on the coins of Group A derives from three sources:. 2. 3. The handwritten Giornale of the excavations, 1912-1916 (see Frischer, G.1.12.1). These are the field-notes written up by Nicola De Rossi, which include references to the date and locus of finds, including the coins. The excavations actually lasted from May 20, 1911 to October 1, 1914, but the Giornale for 1911 is missing. De Rossi continued to note surface finds after the digging stopped in 1914. Categoria Q. Monete antiche, the separate handwritten catalogue of the coins, with individual descriptions (see Frischer, G.1.12.3); it is anonymous, but presumably by Pasqui (not by De Rossi; it is written in a different hand). A few emendations, e.g. to Cohen numbers (hereafter C.), are by a second hand. The publication of the coins by Lugli. Each of these requires comment. 1) The Giornale a] The total number of coins found cannot be extracted exactly, if only because of one entry, for 27 April 1912, which reads Le monete unquantified. However, a total of something over 105, which would include completely illegible examples, fits well enough with the total of 82 identified in (2) and in (3) (see below). Thirty of the finds were originally noted but not described in the Giornale, or noted as illegible (e.g., 17 July 1912, Nº 5 monete tutte illegibili ). Either these were later found to be partially identifiable, or other, more legible coins, which had not been noted in the Giornale, have found their way into the manuscript catalogue (2). b] This then raises the question, to what extent do the coins of (1) and of (2) represent the same finds? It is probable that they do, and best practice would be to accept the readings of (2), which were done after study, over those of 279

Theodore Buttrey c] (1), which were made on the site and perhaps before cleaning. Still, these problems remain: {i} Two pieces identified in the Giornale are certainly not in (2), or are not so described: a find of 4 July 1915, said to be of Julian (later reattributed?); and even more clearly, that of 29 May 1913, a sestertius of Hadrian with a three-figure reverse. {ii} Twenty-five pieces described in the Giornale can be more or less identified with entries in (2), at various levels of plausibility. This means that something over three-fourths of the coins whose discovery is noted in the Giornale remain unidentified on the basis of that notation. Many were re-read, and subsequently included in (2), to a total of 82, but there is no way now to connect the two documents throughout piece by piece. The Giornale gives the locus, in terms of land ownership, for the finds of 1912-13, but not for those of 1915-16 (with one exception). Insofar as ownership is noted, the coins derived from the properties of Angeletti, M. Foschi and R. Foschi (with the occasional overlap of the Foschis; on the properties, see Frischer, E.4). 2) The manuscript catalogue The handwritten catalogue proper of 82 coins, Categoria Q. Monete antiche, is written in a single hand and arranged in a single chronological order by emperor, without regard to the archaeological time or place of find. Or rather, this holds for nos. 1-71; the last 11 pieces presumably came to light subsequently, since they were added to the catalogue, by the same hand, in no obvious order. The descriptions of type and legend are very full through no. 66, but from there to the end, including the additional 11 pieces, they tend to abbreviation with some carelessness: e.g., for no. 69, the obverse legend is given as MAXENTIVS tout court; for no. 70 we find MASSENTIVS (inscriptional Italian rather than Latin); and reverse types are mostly omitted. a] The catalogue provides a column for Provenienza for each coin, but this has gone unused for all but five pieces: nos. 36, 42, 45, 47, and 49. Of these, the last, a coin of Gallienus found on Angeletti s property, does not match b] c] any legible or semi-legible piece reported in (1), though it could of course have been part of an illegible group, such as the eight which came to light on 11 July 1912. More important, the other four pieces are noted as dal terreno Caponetti, but the Giornale includes no mention at all of digging in that holding, for the simple reason that the Caponetti land was dug in 1911, the records for which are missing from the Giornale. Again, either something has gone wrong in (2), or the coins of (1) and (2) are not altogether the same body of material. The many numbers jotted otherwise in the Provenienza column, by a later hand, form a running total from page to page. They are an estimate of the market value in lire of each coin, as given in Cohen, totaling an appraisal of L. 210 for the whole. (Cohen s valuations are in gold francs, but at the time of publication both France and the Kingdom of Italy adhered to the Latin Monetary Union, an association of nations bound by a single currency. Thus, his valuations were equivalent to contemporary gold lire.) The last 11 coins, added rather helter-skelter after the original chronological arrangement, are all noted as monete trovate in gruppo without any indication of a find-spot. However, Lugli assigned them to the complex of rooms S (=rooms 44, 47, 48 and 49). 3) Lugli s publication Lugli s published list 3 is derived basically from (2), except that he has made a rearrangement after his no. 23 so that he could include in order the last (unordered) 11 coins of (2). However, he must have seen the coins, or have had access to further information about them, since at no. 27 he was able to provide a more detailed description of the sestertius of Trajan than had been given in (2) no.24, and to attribute it correctly to C. 444. a] A few errors can be dealt with, most notably the assertion in the text that 83 coins were listed, while his list runs only to 82. 4 3. Lugli 1926, 926, cols. 588-590. 4. There are two errors, which correct each other: {i} Lugli s no. 80, Maxentius, covers two coins which ought therefore to be 80 and 81; then his 81 280

D.11. Coins b] c] More seriously, there are several problems of citation: {i} No. 7, clearly described in (2) as a coin of Titus reproducing ( restoring ) a coin of Tiberius (for the deified Augustus), is included by Lugli under Augustus. This actually follows the unhistorical arrangement of Cohen, but confuses the chronology of the coin itself. {ii} No. 13, a bronze coin of Galba, was referenced in (2) as cf. Cohen 349, an aureus, simply to indicate an analogous reverse type of military standards. This was reported by Lugli no. 13 as straight Cohen 349, but no gold was found at the Villa. {iii} No. 25 in (2) (=Lugli no. 24), a bronze of Trajan, is referenced by Lugli as Cohen 62 (?), also a gold coin. He apparently miscopied the correct reference from (2), Cohen 625. Finally, Lugli usually gives only the imperial name and the Cohen reference, leaving it to the reader to go back to Cohen to discover what issue or type is actually to hand. However, for four pieces not given a Cohen reference in (2), he provides a more generous description: three G.B. (i.e. sestertii) of Trajan and Gallienus, and one M.B. (i.e. a dupondius or an as) of Gordian III. Only two of these can be correct: no. 27, G.B. of Trajan, given as G.B. also in (2) no. 24, is assigned by Lugli correctly to C. 444. no. 60, G.B. of Gallienus, is given as G.B also in (2) no. 49, wrongly. The type described, emperor sacrificing at tripod, does not occur as a sestertius, but as an antoninianus, RIC 5 1.186.618. 5 no. 61, G.B. of Gallienus, is given correctly as P.B. in (2) no. 50, i.e. an antoninianus with reverse type Pegasus, RIC 5 1.155.282. no. 50 is indeed an as of Gordian, RIC 4 3.43.256b. 6 All of the above indicates that a precise description of all of the individual coins of Group A cannot be recovered today. But there seems no reason to question either the general run of attributions or the identification of the individual emperors, although it must be noted that there are some generalizations (e.g., CONST... covers Constantine and his sons). D.11.1.2. Group B: coins from the excavations of 1997-1999 The sixteen coins of the most recent excavations, 1997-1999, are as a whole in poor condition. Ancient wear in circulation is taken for granted for all find coins anywhere; subsequent corrosion or deformation in the soil is normal; and the excavators have to 5. H. Mattingly, E. A. Sydenham et al., Roman Imperial Coinage (London 1923-1994). 6. To summarize the corrections that should be made in Lugli (3), no. 5: for C. 3 read C. 4 no. 13: for C. 349 read C. 269 no. 18: for C. 25 read C. 125 no. 25: for C. 62(?) read C. 625(?) no. 31: for C. 122 read C. 123 and 82 can be up-numbered to 82 and 83, as per his text. {ii} However, under Valerian, where (2) assigns one coin, Lugli gives two, his nos. 57 and 58, with the same Cohen reference. Given the enormous variety of Valerian s coin types, it is most unlikely that two finds should bear the same one. Since (2) mentions only one coin of Valerian anyway, Lugli s second citation must be a dittography, which confirms the original total in (2) of 82 coins. nos. 53-54 appear, wrongly, to include three coins no. 58 is apparently a dittography of no. 57 no. 60 reads G.B in both (2) and (3), but it must be an antoninianus no. 61 reads G.B. as against P.B. in (2), i.e. an antoninianus no. 80 includes two coins, here labelled as 80a and 80b. 281

Theodore Buttrey clean the material properly for it to be read. That is all straightforward. The particular problem with the coins from the villa of Horace is the acidity of the soil. All of the ancient coins are of bronze (two coins are modern), and have been so deeply corroded that not only have the legends almost entirely vanished, but on most of the coins whole types have vanished, leaving in some cases only shadowy traces or nothing at all of the original impression. There is no way to recover what is lost, and few of the coins in Groups B or C below can be exactly identified. Unlike Groups A and C, among the ancient and assignable coins of Group B there is a relatively high proportion (9 out of 12) struck in the late third-fourth century A.D. This enlarges the scattered finds of late coins reported earlier. For the catalogue, see below. D.11.1.3. Group C: coins in the museum of Licenza These 12 coins do not correspond to those listed in Group A, and must be separate, presumably later, finds. Their relatively high level of legibility, compared to those of Group B, also suggests that coins in worse condition might not have been recognized as coins, or might have been discarded as useless. One is an ancient imitation of a silver denarius (plated); the rest are bronze, badly corroded. Ten of the 12 can be dated to the first-second century A.D. Thus in scope they fall in the earlier part of the range of coin finds already established at the Villa in the Giornale (1) and in the handwritten catalogue (2). This lot is unlabelled in the display case as to provenience, and might be local Licenza finds without any specific connection to the Villa. For the catalogue, see below. D.11.1.4. The excavations Group A, 1912-1916. To work backwards from (3), Lugli must have used the handwritten catalogue of coins, but he did not have access to Pasqui s excavation notes, which he believed to have been lost (col. 461). He mentions the coin finds in an excavation context only once and in a general way (col. 557 and n1): In base a questi elementi possiamo datare l edificio [53] e in generale tutte le costruzioni di questo periodo, all età tra i Flavi e Adriano, vale a dire alla fine del I sec., o agli inizi del II sec. d. Cr. 1 1. Si noti che nello scavo si sono rinvenute con eccezionale abbondanza monete di Vespasiano, Domiziano e anche Traiano, coincidenza che non è certo casuale. From a numismatic point of view this is perhaps an overstatement. To be sure, there were ten Flavian coins (including the restoration of Tiberius [Augustus] by Titus), and four of Trajan. But the second century produced another 17 pieces. Lacking the specific find-spots, Lugli was not able to assign the individual coins to more specific loci, except for a group of 11 ( 12 ) pieces which came out of the rooms marked S (=rooms 44, 47, 48 and 49). The Giornale (1) and the coin list (2) are now to hand, and provide better information on the precise find-spots, although as indicated above they are only partially useful, because they are incomplete or inconsistent in themselves. However, these are the pieces which can be assigned a find-spot from documents (1) and (2); the numbers are those of Categoria Q (2) / Lugli (3): [a] Angeletti property nos. - / - Hadrian with three-figure reverse (reported find, 29 May 1913) 80/39 Marcus Aurelius @ 74/45 Caracalla @ 75/46 Julia Mamaea @ 47/54 Otacilia @ 53/63 Claudius II 56/66 Severina 282

D.11. Coins 57/67 Diocletian 59/69 Maximian 65/75 Constantine 68/78 Constantine 69 or 70/80 Maxentius + not identifiable 40 pieces These coins are mostly later third and fourth century; there is nothing from the first century, and only two pieces of the second century. For the four pieces marked with the symbol @, see below under [b]. [b] Caponetti property As noted above, the surviving portion of the Giornale does not mention digging in this area. However, four coins are tagged in the manuscript catalogue as discovered in terreno Caponetti, namely nos. 36/40 Faustina II 42/50 Gordian III 45/51 Maximus 47/54 Otacilia @ Moreover, the final 11 coins in (2), nos. 72-82, appear to come from the same area. This is not stated in the handwritten catalogue, where they are noted only as monete trovate in gruppo. But in the introduction to his listing of the coin finds (3), Lugli localizes them in un gruppo rinvenuto tutt insieme nell ultimo scavo in una delle stanze S, quasi al piano, to wit (again with Categoria Q/Lugli numbers): nos. 79/29 Hadrian 72/33 Faustina I 80/34 Marcus Aurelius @ 73/36 Marcus Aurelius 74/45 Caracalla @ 75/46 Julia Mamaea @ 77/52 Philip I 76/56 Aemilian 78/57 Valerian [78/58 Valerian] (apparently Lugli s dittography of 78/57) 82/79 Constantine 81/83 Constantine II To judge from the site plan, these rooms (Lugli S=44, 47, 48 and 49) should fall within the Caponetti property. But these coins are plainly not the same material as the coins noted in (2) as found in terreno Caponetti, although they accord with them in timescale. There is, however, an insoluble confusion. The finds from [b] include four pieces, marked @ above, which appear to be attested in the Giornale as independent finds from holding [a], while the handwritten catalogue assigns three of them to the gruppo which, according to Lugli, was found in rooms S (=44, 47, 48 and 49), therefore property [b]. Thus the Giornale for 12 June 1913 reports the single discovery of a coin of Marcus Aurelius with reverse type Salus (i.e., it was legible on site), in property [a] Angeletti; but an entry for such a type appears in the catalogue (2) only at no. 80 in the gruppo. It is of course conceivable that two different coins of similar description could be found, though it is difficult to understand why a piece identifiable at the site should be less legible after study. 7 And it is hardly likely that this would happen four times. Absent the original find-spots, there is no way of disentangling this dual confusion, i.e., whether the coins were or were not found together, and whether they were found in property [a] or [b]. Note too that whatever the term gruppo intends here archaeologically, the batch of 11 coins cannot have been a hoard or any coherent lot. They are too disparate, and were struck over too long a period, 7. This is inferred from the fact that it is not reported This is inferred from the fact that it is not reported in (2). 283

(found 25 August 1915) + not identifiable 2 pieces D.11.2. Conclusions It is not possible to assign most of the identified coins to the individual property, nor to coordinate the distribution by property in Group A with the finds of Group B, which are cited only as from various sectors. But the overall numismatic results for the entire site exhibit a chronological continuity, although B supplies a firmer picture of the fourth century than does A. This confirms what appears to be the case from the other evidence as well: a late Republican habitation, 8 occupied continuously at least until late in the fourth century A.D., with, numismatically, a weak period in the very late second and early third century. It is interesting that the still later ancient and the medieval occupations of the site have produced only one coin, a minim, most probably of the fifth century. It is of course possible that the more fragile medieval coins were simply devoured by the unfriendly soil. D.11.3. Catalogues by Group D.11.3.1. Group A: coins found 1912-1916 Catalogued and described in manuscript (2), reproduced summarily by Lugli in (3). 9 18/18 Domitian 34/35 Marcus Aurelius + not identifiable 4 pieces [e] Rocco and Mariassunta Foschi property (A joint holding, or excavator s uncertainty as to the property line?) no. 6?/6 Augustus + not identifiable 1 piece [f] find-spot not given nos. -/- Giuliano (found 4 July 1915) 8. It would be unwise to wring chronological significance from the aes grave triens of the third century B.C. without independent stratigraphic evidence. Aes grave is not uncommon today, and must once have been very common. This kind of large object can easily be preserved as a curiosity; it could have been used centuries after its production, e.g., as a paperweight. 9. Lugli 1926, cols. 588-590. 284
