The values are estimates for conservatively graded, essentially problem-free coins. Defects or merits will alter prices, often significantly. Dashes (ó) indicate values which cannot be accurately determined (at the high end) or which are negligible (at the low end). Coins with the same value range are not always equally valuable, for they may represent different ends of the same spectrum.

The values are estimates for conservatively graded, essentially problem-free coins. Defects or merits will alter prices, often significantly. Dashes (ó) indicate values which cannot be accurately determined (at the high end) or which are negligible (at the low end). Coins with the same value range are not always equally valuable, for they may represent different ends of the same spectrum.

THE divi SERIES OF TRAJAN DECIUS
The reasons Decius chose to honor these eleven emperors (and to omit others) on his divi series is still puzzling to numismatists and historians. W hatever the criteria for selection, the series reflects Decius?? effort to restore cult worship of the deified emperors, and to recall the glory days of Rome just as the Empire was entering its darkest age. It seems no mere coincidence that another diversified series of divi coinage was struck nearly 150 years before by Trajan, the emperor whose surname Decius was received from the senate upon his accession (and that the doubledenarii honoring Trajan are among the most common in the series). Some researchers have speculated that Decius hoped the new, interesting designs would divert attention from the dwindling silver content of the coins. By the time of this issue, c. A.D. 250/1, the double-denarius had been so greatly reduced that it had no more silver than a Severan denarius. Though formerly attributed to Milan, the series is now securely assigned to Rome. Occasionally, divi obverses are muled with standard reverse dies used by Trajan Decius and Trebonianus Gallus (see R IC nos. 99ñ100).
The obverse always bears the image of the deified emperior named; the image is always radiate, though it sometimes is a head or a bust, in which case it may be draped and/or cuirassed, or may have slight drapery at the shoulder. The reverse is always inscribed Consecratio and features one of two types: a) eagle with open wings, standing front, head right, or b) flaming altar with four panels, sometimes with horns on top. R IC references are to the listings of Trajan Decius, vol. IV, part III, pp. 130ñ2.

The values are estimates for conservatively graded, essentially problem-free coins. Defects or merits will alter prices, often significantly. Dashes (ó) indicate values which cannot be accurately determined (at the high end) or which are negligible (at the low end). Coins with the same value range are not always equally valuable, for they may represent different ends of the same spectrum.
