[ALDINE DEVICE - ROMAN COIN]Silver denarius, with a profile portrait of the Emperor Titus on the obverse, and the dolphin-and-anchor device on the reverse. [Roman Empire: 80 A.D.] 18 mm (5/8 inch) in diameter. Irregular edges, the strike slightly off-center, the impression a bit dulled with some losses to lettering around the edges from age and handling, however, the images in the center of either side of the coin are clearly readable. According to Erasmus' Adagiorum Chiliades, Pietro Bembo gave an example of this coin to the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius, who then began using The Dolphin and Anchor symbol found on the coin's reverse as his printer's device. The Dolphin and Anchor device also symbolizes Aldus' paradoxical motto Festina lente i.e. "Make haste slowly." It would become the most famous printer's device in history, always sought-after by book collectors.Emperor Titus minted the denarius as part of a series of coins commemorating the prayers voted by the Roman Senate following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The Dolphin and Anchor symbol represented Neptune.No condition report?
