Topic: Dupondius



  
 Dupondius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the coinage reform of Augustus in 23 BC, the sestertius and dupondius were produced in a golden alloy of bronze called orichalcum by numismatists, while lower denominations were produced out of reddish copper.
The dupondius was manufactured until the late 3rd century AD.
The type was not produced much during the Republic.

The dupondius was usually more brassy and squarish in shape, to distinguish it from the as, the denomination of half that value, i.e., one-sixteenth denarius.
The as was generally a reddish bronze, whereas the dupondii and sestertii were made of brass, orichalcum, typically an alloy 80% copper and 20% zinc.
Still, our "dupondius" might turn out to be the smaller coin, as indicated in the Wildwinds catalogue.

 Same/Different
The distinction between the value of the two (a dupondius was worth 2 asses) was clear when the coins were both bright and new but collectors today sometimes will have trouble separating the two due to patination.
The left coin, however, is clearly yellow brass (orichalcum) which would make that coin a dupondius.
The other point of interest here is the designs for this particular dupondius were cut in a large size that fills all the space available while the cutter of the dies for both sides of the as used a smaller style that did not crowd the legends.

 ACM Presents DOUG SMITH: "ROMAN IMPERIAL COIN DENOMINATIONS"
Unlike the two larger coins, the as was struck in red copper to distinguish it from the yellow brass used for the other denominations.
As time progressed, this was made worse with the brass alloy and pure copper replaced by a more generic bronze used for everything.
Diameter and weight fluctuated over the following two centuries until the last ones were less than half the size of the originals.

 The Roman As - Money Meanderings
The brass coins were the Sesterius and Dupondius, and the copper the As, a coin that had a different form in the Republic.
In addition to changing the gold Aureus and silver Denarius, Augustus created coins based on brass (orichalcum) and pure copper.
Although one Dupondius was equal to two Asses, their weights often were the same or very close to the same.

Of course the Bern dupondius is on a much smaller scale than the Vesta aes but still merits closer examination.
Perhaps the most interesting coin of all, however, is the third one, the much debated dupondius which depicts a seated figure believed by many to be Caligula.
Most portraits of the Roman princeps that have survived are replicas of imperial commissioned prototypes that are now lost.

Those new to the hobby should be happy to get so much added value for their auction dollar.
The coin is still a dupondius but is much less obvious about it when compared to the first coin.
Both sold at auction for one advance over the bid of the second highest bidder so it is fair to say that no one was willing to pay the price realized except for the actual purchaser.

The facial features of the reverse types do bear enough resemblance to members of the family of Caligula, that they have been confused before.
The dupondius was issued for both Tiberius and Claudius in yellow metal, though not with seated figure right.
It must therefore be male, and the two interpreted as the Dioscuri, who had previously appeared on the coinage of Philadelphia.'' However, the Dioscuri play a special role on the Roman Imperial coinage of Caligula.
