 | Agrippina was one of the most influential women of the early Roman Empire. She was the offspring of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, the victor of Actium, and Julia, daughter of Augustus. The husband chosen for her was Germanicus, who was supposed to become Augustus’ successor. They had nine children, including future Emperor Caligula. Agrippina was exiled in 29 AD and starved herself to death on Pandataria in 33 AD. Very fine+. Estimate: 25,000 euros. Hammer price: 120,000 euros. |
 | Most aurei of Commodus are not really rare. Commodus as Hercules Romanus are extremely rare in top condition. Künker offered such a rarity and the result was 170,000 euros. |
 | An aureus of Postumus. He came from Gaul and established his center of power in Cologne. Coins of Postumus are among the most beautiful pieces known from the time of the Barracks Emperors. The coin features Postumus and Heracles on the obverse. The reverse shows Victoria and Felicitas, representing Postumus’ military successes. The coin made 190,000 euro in part because of its pedigree. It's ownership can reliably be traced back to 1888. |
 | Aureui of Pescennius Niger, 193-194, are impossibly rare in any condition. When they are extremely fine/very fine+ they will find many interested collectors. Estimate: 75,000 euros. Hammer price: 220,000 euros. |
