The polis was founded in 648 BC by Euklides, Simon and Sakon, and it soon grew in size and wealth thanks to the economic contacts. The greek control of the western coast of Sicily caused the Carthaginian invasion. The final battle between the Greeks and Punics happened in 480 BC right near Himera, turning in favor of the former. Excluding this important period, the city of Himera was excluded from major historical events in Sicily until its destruction in 409 BC with the advent of Hannibal, grandson of Hamilcar general, who fell at the Battle of Himera in 480 BC.

In 476 BC, Hieron I drove all the inhabitants of Naxos and Katane, transferring them to Leontinoi, and repopulating it with the people of Syracuse and the Peloponnesian origin, changing the name to Aitna. With the fall of the Deinomenid dinasty, in 461 BC, all the exiles returned in tha ancient city, giving it back its old name. At the end of the fifth century BC, the polis was under the influence of Syracuse and tried to become independent siding with tha Athenian advance in Sicily. The defeat Athens decreed the end of the autonomy of Katane.

Ex Classical Numismatic Group, Auction Triton IX, lot 719; from the John F. Sullivan Collection. The foundation of Carthage dates back to 814-813 BC and in a short time became one of the major cities of the Mediterranean Sea. This growth caused the collision with the other centers, especially those of Sicily. The first clash occurred in 580 B.C. when Pentathlos tried to expel the Carthaginians from the island. In 410 BC, Hannibal conquered many Greek poleis: Selinos, Himera, Akragas, Gela, Kamarina. Syracuse then decided to respond to the attack. There were followed several clashes with alternating victories until the arrival of the Romans in 278 BC.

He says that Xersesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; camels, wlaking from Akanthos to Therma, were attacked by lions because in this area lived many lions and bulls with gigantic horns.

On the reverse is represented the triumphal arch dedicated to Claudiusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father, Drusus Major, for his victorious campaigns in Germany in the years 12-9 BC. Drusus was the first general of Augustus and praised him for his military and moral virtues. After his death he had many honours and the senate erected a triumphal arch of marble, decorated with trophies, on the Appian Way (Suet. Claud. 1), but there are not archaeological traces. With this sestertius Claudius probably wanted to commemorate his father Drusus directly, but also Augustus indirectly and join two leaders much loved by the soldiers and roman people, celebrating himself as their descendant.

The sestertius is, for the representation on the obverse, commemorating Drusus Major, Claudius’ father, while on the reverse is the representation of the emperor sitting around weapons that allude to his military successes and his expansionist policy. The sella curulis on which is sitting the emperor is symbol of the judicial power, that he practised carefully, weapons are probably refered to his most important conquest, that of Britannia, while the branch is symbol of victory, but also peace.

The sestertius commemorates the end of construction of the first harbour of Rome situated near Ostia. The building was begun by Claudius in AD 42 and finished by Nero in AD 64-66 AD. The entrance to the basin was blocked by a large breakwater, at the end of which was erected a lighthouse, modeled on that of Alexandria and surmounted by a statue of Neptune. The extremely sandy basin did not allow the easy construction of foundations. In fact, for the foundations of the lightouse was used the big cargo ship on which previously Caligula carried the Egyptian obelisk then placed in the Circus of Caligula and Nero in the horti of Agrippina Major.

Under stereoscopic magnification (100X) was mechanically removed this layer, showing an original dark-brownish patina with scattered cuprite crystals on both sides of the coin. Completing the cleaning of the reverse, I observed the reparation of a corrosion with epoxy material, corrosion due to a cuprite formation of cuprite place on the right side of the field. I believe that this accurate cleaning operation returned the coin to its delicate and refined definition. Prof. Gianni Pierbattisti, Conservator Safe Coins s.r.l.

On the reverse is the representation of Mercury with its traditional attributes within a tetrastyle temple decorated with different elements related to this deity. The legend RELIG(io) AVG(usti), the religion of the emperor, connects the figure of Mercury with the religious feeling of Marcus Aurelius. Diodorus Siculus tells how in Egypt who wore the petasus and carried the caduceus was seen as a figure of connection with religious and spiritual world, so the presence of this god might be generically symbolic of emperor’s religiosity. But the representation of Mercury might also be a reference to the event of the “miracle of the rain“, occurred around AD 173, when Marcus Aurelius was on the Danube to fight the advance of the Quadi. According with Dio Cassius, the Egyptian priest Harnuphis would invoke some deities including Mercury, as the god of the air, to make a miraculous rain fall on the roman soldiers that would take them to drink and saved from the attack of the enemy troops. This event is also represented in the reliefs of the Column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome.

At the center of the forum of Constantinople there was a column of Theodosius, who drew the famous Trajanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Column in Rome. Theodosius chose to copy the monuments of Rome to Constantinople, in order to connect the two cities. On the top of the column there was a statue of Theodosius, which remained unharmed after the earthquake of AD 447, but it gave way during a second seismic event. The column was left without a statue until AD 506 when John Paphlagoniae restored all the statues of Constantinople and he erected a new statue for Anastasius I.

Terms and Conditions of Business 1- Area of validity Our below General Terms and Conditions apply to all legal transactions between Acr Auctions GmbH and the customer. We expressly do not recognize any purchasing conditions witch deviate from our General Terms and Conditions. An acknowledgement of different purchasing terms applies only if we have confirmed such application in writing. 2- Conclusion of Contract Your order constitutes a legally-binding offer to us to conclude a purchasing contract. A legally-valid purchasing contract only takes effect if we have accepted your offer within 14 days. This is done by our confirming the order in writing or by sending the ordered product to you. We shall confirm receipt of an order placed via the internet immediately by sending an e-mail to the e- mail address you have given. This confirmation of receipt is not yet a binding acceptance of the order, although our declaration of acceptance can be combined with a confirmation of receipt. No liability is accepted for the accuracy, completeness and up-to-dateness of the texts and images in the internet and in catalogues. Texts and images are subject to misprints and error. Verbal information provided without a written order is not binding and must be set down in writing to become effective. Upon placing an order you accept our General Terms and Conditions. 3- Cost of shipping and insurance The cost of shipping and insurance of the purchased lots is calculated according to the tables below published on our website www.artcoinsroma.com (de, it, co.uk) 4- Terms of Delivery and Delivery Period Items are only delivered after payment in advance, particularly to purchasers unknown to us, unless otherwise agreed. If awarded, an invoice shall be sent to you when we accept your offer which you must pay within 10 days. After receipt of payment we shall send the goods to you within 14 days. If we are temporarily unable to deliver the purchased item within the agreed delivery period, or within 14 days, or to duly fulfill the contract due to shutdowns, strikes, lockouts, regulatory actions or other cases of force majeure, the delivery period shall be extended by the duration of the hindrance. In this case, we shall immediately inform the customer of the hindrance and its anticipated duration. Should the hindrance persist beyond four weeks, both parties shall thus have the right to rescind the contract. If the buyer is a consumer, for a mail-order purchase the risk of incidental demise or deterioration of the purchased item is only transferred when the merchandise is handed over to the buyer. The merchandise shall be considered handed over if the consumer is in default of accepting the purchased merchandise. Shipping is covered under appropriate insurance policies.

116 116

5- Payment All prices are in Euros, including any value-added tax applicable at the time of the order. Any other taxes, along with import and export taxes, are to be paid by the customer. Wherever applicable, the customer is to inquire about this beforehand or contact us. In the case of cash in advance and delivery on open account, payment is to be made to one of our following bank accounts within 10 days after receiving an invoice: Our banking coordinates: - Sudtiroler Sparkasse AG codice IBAN: DE62700126000160028513 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nr. Conto: 160028513 - SWIFT/BIC: SUSKDEM1 - HypoVereinsBank codice IBAN: DE67700202700015413108 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nr. Conto: 015413108 - SWIFT/BIC: HYVEDEMMXXX We accept payments via credit card (VISA and MASTERCARD). In case of payment by credit card will be charged a fee in the invoiced amount. Please check on our website www.artcoinsroma.com (de, it, co.uk).

6- Right of Withdrawal Consumers may cancel their contractual declaration within 7 days without giving any reasons in text form (e.g. by letter, fax or e-mail) or - if the item has been delivered to them before the end of the period - by returning the item (in accordance with Article 246 § 2 in connection with § 1 paragraph 1, 2 EGBGB as well as our duties according to § 312g paragraph 1 phrase 1 BGB in conjunction with Article 246 § 3 of the draft Law). The cancellation period is considered observed if the notice of cancellation or the item is dispatched in due time. The notice of cancellation must be sent to: ACR Auctions GmbH Sendlinger Straße 24 80331 Munchen Effects of withdrawal In the event of a valid withdrawal, each party shall return to the other party any benefits received (e.g. interest) In case you are unable to return the items or services rendered by us in whole or part, or only return them in a deteriorated condition, you may be required to pay us compensation. If the goods purchased appear to have been damaged before shipping, the customer shall not make any compensation Any items that are unsuitable for dispatch will be collected at your address. Obligations to reimburse payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. For you this term begins when you dispatch either your declaration of revocation or the items; for us it begins upon their receipt. 7- Reservation of Title ACR Auctions has entitled to resell the goods transferred in the ordinary course of business. The customer seller, in the time of placing, give us all grants on the goods on sale. The consignor is entitled to payment the agreed price only after buyer under paid off itself purchased good. Acr Auctions will be responsible for the collection of the sales price until the expiry of contract terms of payment. In contracts with consumers, we retain the title to goods until full payment of the purchase price has been made. In contracts with companies, we retain the title to goods until all claims from an ongoing business relationship have been satisfied. As long as the purchase price has not been paid in full, the customer is obliged: a) to handle the merchandise with care, in particular to not clean or treat them with chemicals or other objects; b) to notify us immediately if a third party has placed a claim, such as a lien, on the goods, or if the goods have suffered damage or demise and/or; c) change of ownership of the goods has occurred, as well as a change in the buyer’s own domicile. An entrepreneur has the right to sell the goods to a third party in the course of normal business. In doing so, he already

assigns to us all receivables vis-à-vis third parties that accrue to him by reselling the goods in the amount of the invoiced value. We already accept this assignment. Subsequent to assignment, the company is entitled to collect the receivables. We do, however, reserve the right to collect the receivables ourselves, if the company does not duly fulfill its payment obligations and falls into default. 8- Liability for Defects Should the articles delivered prove to have obvious defects, whereby this also includes shipping damage, you are obliged to file a claim for such defects without delay. If you are a consumer, the failure to give notice of defect, however, shall not have any consequences on your legal rights. There may exist multiple copies of individual pieces. Not all pieces can be illustrated or listed in a catalogue or on the website. The delivery of a piece not illustrated in the catalogue does not constitute a defect, unless you have expressly stated in your order that you wish to receive exactly the piece illustrated and described.

The authenticity of all goods offered is guaranteed. The buyer is entitled to all the warranties required by law. As regards warranty, the consumer has the choice of exercising his right of removal of defects or delivery of merchandise free of defects (supplementary performance). To the extent that the method of supplementary performance is considered to entail disproportionate costs, the entitlement shall be limited to the remaining options for supplementary performance. Additional rights, in particular the rescission of the purchase contract, can only be exercised after an adequate period of time has passed, allowing for supplementary performance or two unsuccessful attempts of supplementary performance or if ACR Auctions have refused supplementary performance. If the seller is an entrepreneur, we are entitled to choose to either remove defects or deliver merchandise free of defects within one year after date of delivery pursuant to § 439 BGB. After a year has passed after the date of delivery, the warranty claims of a business entity are limited to the removal of defects or the provision of a credit of the current cash value, whichever we deem appropriate. 9- Data privacy All personal data will be kept strictly confidential and will not be made available to third parties. 10- Liability Disclaimer In all cases where ACR Auctions are obliged on the basis of contractual or legal grounds to pay for damages or reimbursements, we are only liable to the extent that we have been proven to have acted willfully and with gross negligence or to have caused injury to life, limb, or health. This shall not affect liability regardless of negligence or fault according to the Product Liability Act. Nor shall it affect liability for gross breach of contract; to this degree, liability is limited to damages that are foreseeable and typical for this type of contract, except for the cases referred to in the first two sentences. The aforementioned provisions are not coupled with a change in the burden of proof to the disadvantage of the customer. 11- Applicable law and jurisdiction The place of fulfillment is Monaco di Baviera,head office of ACR Auctions GmbH. German law shall apply at the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The same applies if the customer has no general legal venue in the Federal Republic of Germany or his domicile or normal place of abode is not known at the time a lawsuit is filed. Should any of the provisions of this contract with the customer, including these General Terms and Conditions, be determined unlawful in part or whole, this shall not invalidate the remaining provisions. In case there is an unforeseen eventuality, the parties shall agree upon provisions that, on the basis of the entire body of the contract, shall help execute the contract according to the apparent will of both parties. Those participants automatically accepted these Terms and Conditions of sale and are available to any interested party on request.

Condizioni generali di vendita

117 117

1- Ambito di applicazione Le “Condizioni generali di vendita” che vengono di seguito indicate si applicano a tutti i negozi giuridici tra ACR Auctions e i clienti. Non vengono espressamente riconosciute eventuali condizioni di acquisto che differiscono dalle “Condizioni generali di vendita” di seguito riportate. Condizioni di vendita diverse dalle presenti acquisteranno validità soltanto se a seguito di una nostra conferma scritta. 2- Sottoscrizione del contratto L’ordine del cliente costituisce offerta giuridicamente vincolante nei nostri confronti ai fini dell’acquisto. L’acquisto sarà valido a tutti gli effetti di legge solo se l’offerta verrà accettata dalla nostra società entro 14 giorni dalla data di comunicazione. L’offerta sarà accettata mediante conferma scritta o direttamente con la spedizione dei beni ordinati. Gli ordini effettuati su internet, verranno immediatamente confermati tramite la spedizione di una email inviata al vostro indirizzo.

Tuttavia tale conferma di ordine non costituisce un impegno definitivo da parte di ACR Auctions. Le descrizioni presenti nei cataloghi e su internet sono puramente indicative pertanto si declina qualsiasi responsabilità in merito alla correttezza delle stesse. La società non è altresì responsabile in caso di palesi errori di stampa. Gli ordini devono avere forma scritta. Eventuali ordini effettuati verbalmente non sono vincolanti. Effettuare un’ordine, determina automaticamente l’accettazione delle nostre “Condizioni generali di vendita”. 3- Spese di spedizione ed assicurazione Le spese di spedizione ed assicurazione dei lotti acquistati verranno calcolate in base alle tabelle pubblicate nel nostro sito www.artcoinsroma.com (de, it, co.uk) 4- Termini di consegna La consegna di beni acquistati, in particolare effettuata da nuovi clienti, verrà effettuata soltanto previo pagamento anticipato, salvo diverso accordo. In caso di aggiudicazione, verrà inviata al cliente acquirente una fattura, che dovrà essere pagata entro e non oltre 10 giorni dalla ricezione. La merce verrà inviata entro 14 giorni dalla data di avvenuto pagamento. Qualora fossimo temporaneamente impossibilitati a consegnare la merce acquistata entro il termine stabilito di 14 giorni a causa di blocchi, scioperi, serrate, azioni normative o altri casi di forza maggiore, il termine di consegna verrà automaticamente prorogato. In questo caso il cliente verrà tempestivamente informato anche riguardo la durata prevista. Se l’impedimento dovesse persistere oltre le quattro settimane, entrambe le parti avranno il diritto di rescindere il contratto. Il rischio di danneggiamento e deterioramento accidentale della merce venduta, passa all’acquirente nel momento della consegna diretta della merce. Se la merce viene inviata mediante spedizioniere, la responsabilità è del vettore o alla persona incaricata per la consegna della merce sino a consegna avvenuta. Gli oggetti acquistati si considerano consegnati anche se l’acquirente li ritira in ritardo. La spedizione è coperta da adeguate polizze assicurative. 5- Pagamento Tutti i prezzi sono in Euro, inclusa l’imposta sul valore aggiunto in vigore al momento dell’ordine. Eventuali ulteriori imposte, quali dazi di importazione o esportazione, sono a carico del cliente. A tale riguardo, il cliente dovrà informarsi autonomamente oppure contattarci.

Accettiamo pagamenti anche con carte di credito (VISA e MASTERCARD). Utilizzando tale forma di pagamento verranno addebitati dei costi che potrete trovare sul nostro sito www.artcoinsroma.com (de, it, co.uk) 6- Diritto di recesso Ad ogni acquirente spetta per legge il diritto di recesso. E’ possibile esercitare il diritto di recesso senza specificare alcun motivo mediante forma scritta (per es. lettera, fax o email) entro 7 giorni dalla data in cui è stato effettuato l’ordine o è stata consegnata la merce. In tal caso la merce deve essere prontamente restituita. (vedi: art. 246 § 2 , § 1 comma 1, 2 EGBGB § 312g comma 1 locuzione 1 BGB, articolo 246 § 3 EGBGB)

Ai fini del rispetto dei termini di recesso è sufficiente l’invio tempestivo della dichiarazione di recesso o della merce. La dichiarazione di recesso dovrà essere indirizzata a: ACR Auctions GmbH Sendlinger Straße 24 80331 Munchen Effetti del recesso In caso di recesso affinché lo stesso sia valido, ciascuna parte deve restituire all’altra eventuali benefici ricevuti (es. interessi). Nel caso in cui non sia possibile restituire i beni acquistati o nel caso in cui tali beni siano in tutto o in parte danneggiati, la parte acquirente è obbligata a fornire un adeguato risarcimento. L’acquirente non deve effettuare alcun risarcimento se i beni acquistati risultano essere stati danneggiati prima della spedizione. I beni che non possono essere spediti, verranno prelevati da ACR Auctions al vostro indirizzo. Il rimborso dovrà essere effettuato entro 30 giorni. Per l’acquirente il termine decorre dalla data di invio della dichiarazione di recesso o dall’invio della merce stessa, per la nostra società, dalla data di restituzione della merce. 7- Riserva di proprietà ACR Auctions ha diritto di vendere i beni conferiti nell’esercizio della propria attività. Il cliente venditore cede dal momento del conferimento a ACR Auctions tutti i diritti sui beni posti in vendita. Il conferente ha diritto al pagamento del prezzo pattuito solo dopo che il compratore ha pagato a sua volta il bene acquistato. ACR Auctions si occuperà della riscossione del prezzo di vendita sino alla scadenza dei termini di pagamento contrattuali. Nei contratti con i privati ACR Auctions si riserva la proprietà della merce sino al totale pagamento del prezzo. Nei contratti con i commercianti ACR Auctions si riserva la proprietà della merce sino al pagamento di tutti i crediti in essere. Fino al totale pagamento del prezzo il compratore è obbligato a: a) trattare la merce con cura evitando qualsiasi intervento di pulitura sia chimico che meccanico; b) non consentire a terzi di entrare in possesso dei beni acquistati come ad esempio in caso di pignoramento e a evitare il danneggiamento o la distruzione degli stessi; c) comunicare immediatamente il trasferimento di possesso dei beni nonché il cambio di domicilio 8- Responsabilità per difetti Se i beni acquistati dovessero presentare vizi palesi, tra i quali anche danni da trasporto, il compratore è obbligato a comunicare immediatamente a ACR Auctions l’esistenza di tali vizi o danni. Se il compratore è un privato, la mancata denuncia di tali danni non ha conseguenza sui diritti acquisiti.

Può accadere che singoli pezzi siano disponibili in più esemplari uguali. Non è sempre possibile illustrare o elencare tutti i pezzi in un catalogo o sul sito internet. La fornitura di un pezzo uguale non illustrato non costituisce inadempimento contrattuale, salvo che abbiate espressamente indicato nell’ordinazione di voler ricevere esattamente il pezzo illustrato e descritto. Si garantisce l’autenticità di tutti i beni offerti in asta. Al committente spettano tutti i diritti di garanzia previsti dalla legge. L’acquirente privato ha facoltà di chiedere a sua scelta, ove possibile, la rimozione del vizio o la fornitura di merce equivalente priva non danneggiata (adempimento a posteriori). Se il tipo di adempimento a posteriori scelto dovesse essere connesso a spese di entità sproporzionata, il diritto di garanzia si perfeziona nell’altro modo previsto. Ulteriori diritti, in particolare quello del recesso dal contratto, potranno essere rivendicati soltanto dopo il decorso di un termine adeguato per l’adempimento a posteriori, oppure dopo due tentativi di adempimento a posteriori falliti, oppure anche nel caso in cui ACR Auctions si rifiuta di effettuare l’adempimento a posteriori.

Se il venditore è un commerciante, ACR Auctions ha la facoltà di scegliere fra la rimozione dei vizi o la fornitura di merce non danneggiata entro un anno a decorrere dalla data di consegna, conformemente al § 439 BGB. Decorso di un anno dalla data di consegna, i diritti di garanzia dell’imprenditore si limitano alla rimozione dei vizi oppure ad un accredito del valore attuale della merce, a scelta di ACR Auctions. 9- Protezione dei dati Tutti i dati personali sono normalmente oggetto di segretezza e non vengono trasmessi a terzi. 10- Limitazione della responsabilità ACR Auctions è obbligata prestare risarcimento danni in base alle disposizioni contrattuali o alle norme vigenti in materia e nei casi ai casi in cui sia imputabile alla stessa dolo, colpa grave o responsabilità per l’integrità fisica dei clienti. La responsabilità oggettiva prevista dalla normativa di legge per la garanzia sul prodotto non viene toccata. Non viene intaccata la responsabilità derivante da un inadempimento di essenziali obblighi contrattuali. La responsabilità sarà tuttavia limitata, salvo i casi previsti ai capoversi 1 e 2, a danni prevedibili, tipici del rapporto contrattuale. Le suddette disposizioni non comportano una modifica a svantaggio del cliente dell’onere della prova. 11- Diritto applicabile e foro competente Il Foro competente per qualsiasi controversia è quello di Monaco di Baviera sede della ACR Auctions GmbH. La legge applicata è quella tedesca con l’esclusione della Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sui contratti per la vendita internazionale di beni. Tale norma si applica anche se il foro competente per il cliente non è in Germania e anche se non è conosciuta la sua residenza o il domicilio abituale al momento dell’avvio dell’azione legale. L’eventuale inefficacia di una o più disposizioni indicate nelle presenti “Condizioni generali di vendita” non intacca la validità delle rimanenti disposizioni. Le disposizioni ritenute parzialmente o totalmente illegittime, saranno sostituite da altre aventi un valore economico equivalente. Nel caso in cui vi sia una eventualità imprevista, le parti provvederanno a stipulare un accordo che sia valido per entrambi in conformità con il contenuto del contratto stesso. Le presenti condizioni di vendita sono accettate automaticamente da quanti concorrono all’asta e sono a disposizione di qualsiasi interessato che ne faccia richiesta.

Der Privatkunde hat die Möglichkeit , falls machbar, die Beseitigung des Mangels oder die Lieferung gleichwertiger schadenfreier Güter zu verlangen. Im Gewährleistungsfalle ist der Verbraucher nach seiner Wahl zur Geltendmachung eines Rechts auf Mängelbeseitigung oder Lieferung mangelfreier Ware berechtigt (Nacherfüllung). Sollte die gewählte Art der Nacherfüllung mit unverhältnismäßig hohen Kosten verbunden sein, beschränkt sich der Anspruch auf die jeweils verbliebene Art der Nacherfüllung. Weitergehende Rechte, insbesondere die Rückgängigmachung des Kaufvertrages, können nur nach Ablauf einer angemessenen Frist zur Nacherfüllung oder nach zweimaligen Fehlschlagens der Nacherfüllung oder auch im Falle einer Verweigerung unsererseits der Nacherfüllung geltend gemacht werden. Handelt es sich bei dem Verkäufer um einen Händler, so sind wir innerhalb eines Jahres nach Lieferdatum nach unserer Wahl zur Mängelbeseitigung oder Lieferung mangelfreier Ware im Sinne des § 439 BGB berechtigt. Nach Ablauf eines Jahres ab Lieferdatum beschränken sich die Gewährleistungsansprüche des Unternehmers auf Mängelbeseitigung oder Zeitwertgutschrift nach unserer Wahl. 9- Datenschutz Alle personenbezogenen Daten werden grundsätzlich vertraulich behandelt und nicht an Dritte weitergegeben. 10- Haftungsbeschränkung In allen Fällen, in denen wir aufgrund vertraglicher oder gesetzlicher Anspruchsgrundlagen zum Schadens- oder Aufwendungsersatz verpflichtet sind, haften wir nur, soweit uns Vorsatz, grobe Fahrlässigkeit oder eine Verletzung von Leben, Körper oder Gesundheit zur Last fällt. Unbetroffen bleibt die verschuldensunabhängige Haftung nach dem Produkthaftungsgesetz. Unbetroffen bleibt auch die Haftung für die schuldhafte Verletzung wesentlicher Vertragspflichten; die Haftung ist insofern jedoch, außer in den Fällen der Sätze 1 und 2, auf den vorhersehbaren, vertragstypischen Schaden beschränkt. Eine Änderung der Beweislast zum Nachteil des Kunden ist mit den vorstehenden Regelungen nicht verbunden. Die angeführten Anordnungen sind nicht mit einer Anderung zum Nachteil des Kunden verbunden. 11- Anwendbares Recht und zuständiges Gericht Im Falle eines Rechtstreits ist das Gericht in München zuständig. Es gilt deutsches Recht mit Ausnahme des UN-Kaufrechtes für Verträge für den internazionalen Verkauf von Gütern.

Sollten einzelne Bestimmungen des Vertrags, diein dieser AGB angeführt sind ganz oder teilweise unwirksam sein, so wird hierdurch die Wirksamkeit der übrigen Bestimmungen nicht berührt. Regelungen die als vollständig oder teilweise unwirksam betrachtet werden,können durch wirtschaftlich gleichwertigen Regelungen ersetzt werden.
