E-Auction 10 Lot 30

Aurelian. A.D. 270-275. Antoninianus. 3.8 gm. 22 mm. Serdica. His radiate and cuirassed bust right; IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG / Sol standing right, head left, holding globe; captive at feet to left; SOLI INVICTO around, star to left, V in exergue. RIC V.1 257. Near Extremely Fine; almost completely silvered; some minor stable deposits. Handsome bust on large flan.

Aurelian was an exceptionally capable emperor who managed during his brief reign to reunite the empire and close out the devastating crisis of the third century. He was murdered by his officers when a secretary, fearing punishment for a minor transgression, forged a list of officials who Aurelian supposedly had marked for execution, and convinced those on the list to murder the emperor. He was so well liked by his troops that nobody wished to come forward and proclaim themselves his successor, lest they get branded a conspirator. This led to a brief and awkward back and forth with the Senate in Rome as neither party wanted to put forth a candidate and risk reprisals. During this interregnum some records suggest his wife Ulpia Severina ruled the Empire, until the election of his successor Tacitus.

How Bidding Works

 

How Bidding Works

 

Davissons Ltd uses a soft close for its auctions, which means no lot closes until everyone is done bidding. Every time a bid is placed within the final 40 seconds of a lot closing, the timer is reset to 40 seconds. This continues until no bids are placed for 40 seconds, at which point the lot closes. There will never be more than one lot closing at once, as the next lot is not allowed to begin closing until the current lot closes.

To bid: enter your maximum bid into the text box, and click submit. Only round dollar amounts are accepted. You are then required to confirm your bid. Once confirmed, all bids are final. If you have placed a bid in error you must call during office hours and speak to one of us. If you are the current high bidder then it will display “Current High Bidder: YOU” If you are not the high bidder, or if you are not logged in, then the current high bidder will be identified by their 5 digit client ID. You may find your client ID under the Account tab.

Bids are reduced automatically, so feel free to bid your maximum and it will be reduced to one increment over the current high bid. If a user places a bid that is higher than necessary to be the current high bidder on the lot, the displayed bid will reflect one advance over the next lower bid. For example, if a user "A" places a bid of $120 on a lot which opens at $100, "A" will be winning that lot at $100. If another user "B" bids $110, the winning bidder will be "A" at $120, one advance over the supporting bid of $110. If user "B" in this example instead placed a bid at $120, then user "A" will still be winning at $120 because they placed that maximum bid value first.

Increments can be viewed here. The next bid will always be on the next increment, so if a user is winning a lot at $100, or $105, or $109, the next bid will still always be $110.
