Coins from Twelve Caesars
The Twelve Caesars is a book by Roman historian Suetonius, consisting of twelve biographies of Julius Caesar and the 11 first emperors.

Ironically, the category only covers eleven emperors, as Julius Caesar is included in the Imperatorial Era category,

However, the first 11 emperors honoured a large number of people on their coins, and so you will find many interesting characters depicted on the coins from this period.

This period ends with the murder of Domitian, after which Nerva is the first emperor in the period of the Adoptive Emperors.

The Altar of Lugdunum and the Sanctuary of the Three Gauls were dedicated by Augustus on 1 August 10 B.C., the very same day Drusus' son, the future emperor Claudius, was born in Lugdunum. All the notable men of Gaul were invited. Caius Julius Vercondaridubnus, a member of the Aedui tribe, was the first priest of the new imperial cult. The altar, which was engraved with the names of 60 Gallic tribes, was featured prominently on coins from the Lugdunum mint for many years.

"Curtis Clay of Harlan Berk amends the translation with the explanation that PARTA is not "doors", but the past participle of "pario", "bring forth, produce, acquire".

Because of the blundered and weakly struck at the point of interest inscription, I'm uncertain whether the inscription ends TR POT XXI or II

In 17 AD when Antiochus III of Commagene died, Tiberius annexed Commagene to the province of Syria. RIC is confident in the attribution to this mint, RPC is hesitant with Antioch being another possibility based on find evidence. RIC dates to 19-21 AD, whereas RPC goes with 19-20 AD.

One of the earliest coins in my collection is also one of the rarest. This sestertius of the emperor Titus has an obverse legend beginning with ‘IMP TITVS CAES’, which was soon shortened to ‘IMP T CAES’ on later coins. The full version is far harder to come by, with the revised 2007 edition of the Roman Imperial Coinage citing very few examples known (the book cites one example which is currently in the Staatliche Museum in Berlin).

Ceres' known mythology is indistinguishable from Demeter's. Her virgin daughter Proserpina (Persephone) was abducted by Hades to be his wife in the underworld. Ceres searched for her endlessly lighting her way through the earth with torches. While Ceres (Demeter) searched, she was preoccupied with her loss and her grief. The seasons halted; living things ceased their growth, then began to die. Some say that in her anger she laid a curse on the world that caused plants to wither and die, and the land to become desolate. Faced with the extinction of all life on earth, Zeus sent his messenger Hermes to the underworld to bring Proserpina back. However, because had eaten while in the underworld, Hades had a claim on her. Therefore, it was decreed that she would spend four months each year in the underworld. During these months Ceres grieves for her daughter's absence, withdrawing her gifts from the world, creating winter. Proserpina's return brings the spring.
