Roman Empire, Seleucid Kingdom. Cleopatra Tea + Faustina Maggiore. Lotto di 2 monete (No reserve price)

This unique pair of coins connects two significant ancient realms: the Roman Empire and the Seleucid Kingdom. Featuring Cleopatra Tea, presumably referencing Cleopatra Thea, a notable Seleucid queen, and Faustina Maggiore, wife of Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius, this lot highlights the cross-cultural influences and dynastic interconnections of the ancient Mediterranean world. The Seleucid Kingdom was a Hellenistic state that emerged after Alexander the Great's empire fragmented, known for its coinage depicting royal portraits and classical motifs. Roman imperial coins like those of Faustina the Elder typically exhibit portraits of the empress and symbolize imperial virtues. Collectors interested in this lot gain a glimpse into the political alliances and cultural exchanges between Hellenistic and Roman worlds through numismatic art and history.
