Kroton was one of the richest and powerful poleis of Southern Italy. During the VI century it joined with Sybaris and Metapontion in destroying Siris. After this victory, Kroton assumed more power and it destroyed Sybaris in 510 BC. Kroton became the leader among the Achaean colonies and the polis produced coins with the others cities as Temesa and Hipponion. 90

The production of coins of Kroton is very complex and still under study. Within the general development there are two or three parallel sequences, each based on different reverse type. The different reverse types might indicate different mints within the territory of Kroton: the commonest, the tripod, is for Kroton, the Corinthian helmet for Temesa and the eagle for Hipponion. The reason of these sequences is still uncertain and maybe they were made for a military alliance (symmachia) between the Achean cities. 94

Rare, cabinet tone, high relief, beautiful style and one of the best known specimens, good extremely fine. This coin represents one example of the age of prosperity and power of Terina, and it is directly influenced by the works on the coinage of both Olympia and Syracuse. The head on obverse is evidently inspired by Euainetos, while the reverse is a direct evolution of the die dated c. 410-405 BC. That die had been undoubtedly inspired by the coinage of Elis for the 87th Olympiad in 432 BC, which in its turn was a celebration of the masterful Nike balustrade in the Temple of Athena Nike on the Athenian Acropolis.

The bestiarius, wearing cap and clothes of an archetypal Phrygian or Persian hero or deity [Men, Attis or Mithras ?], holding cylindrical circus prop with an axle placed on the ground line, in defence against a panther leaping to l. Alföldi 1976, 412, pls. 173.12, 174.1-2; A. and E. Alföldi, Die Kontorniat-Medallions, Teil 2, Text, 1990, p. 216, Rs 207-8; Sabatier pl. 3, 13 (obverse), pl. 9, 5 (reverse). Extremely rare, only three specimens recorded by Alföldi, but all in inferior condition: 1) Milano, Museo Teatro della Scala, 2) Paris, BnF, Cabinet des Mèdailles and 3) London, British Museum. Fine dark patina, as struck, sharp Extremely Fine with superb pronounce detail. A numismatic gem. The reverse of this coin depicts a circus scene where a bestiarius (circus animal fighter) wearing a Phrygian hat and propping up a roller or protection gadget against an attacking panther. Another example of this device can be seen on the circus relief from Sofia.

Relief plate poster for circus games with fights between men and animals in Serdica (4th century AD). Sofia (Bulgaria), National Archaeological Museum.

The numismatic term contorniate derives from the Italian contorno, ‘surround’, and was invented to describe a class of coin-like medallions with an average diameter of about 40mm, usually struck in orichalcum with their rims surrounded by a solco di contorno ‘surrounding furrow’. This, similar to earlier hammered up coins, gave them a rim for easy finger pick-up and may indicate that they were intended to be calculi (counters) for board games or souvenirs of a pagan nature. They were private productions of the late 4th and early 5th centuries, often cast and inlayed with symbols, and depict popular emperors from Augustus to Anthemius, historical and mythical events, poets, philosophers and many sports themes connected to the circus and amphitheatre, especially victorious horses and aurigae.

Messina, Ferdinando il Cattolico (1474-1516), “Hafsid” Dinar o Doppia Tripolina, 1479-1516; AV (g 4,68; mm 19; h 12); Arab coin countermarked with crowned eagle l., with open wings; above, F, Rv. Vanished Arab legend. Spahr pag. 123; Grierson-Travaini pag. 328 Extremely rare, about extremely fine. 10.000 This is a very special coin of emergency, known in small numbers, the countermark is struck on a Dinar of “Abu Amr Uthman” who ruled from 1435 to 1488. In 1489, there was a terrible famine in North Africa, now Tunisia, at the time ruled by the dynasty Hafsid, and so it became necessary to buy a huge amount of grain from Sicily (7,650,000 kg). In that year, for a fortunate coincidence, the production in Sicily had been exceptional and this acquisition was paid in gold dinars. The massive influx of foreign gold in such a short time would not allow the restruck, therefore the Sacred Royal Council of Sicily, on 24 September 1489, legalized the countermarked dinars, to guarantee its weight and quality, and value of 14.5 tari. The 19 January 1490 the council decreed the minting of a new coin, the Trionfo, which was minted on 19 March 1490. So the countermarked dinars were withdrawn to produce the new coin. This explains the small number and rarity of the few known specimens, survived the merger and the minting. (Cfr. Spahr, p. 123, Grierson-Travaini p. 328).

The Normans (1059-1194) The domination of the Normans in southern Italy and Sicily is one of the most romantic episodes in medieval history. Originally called Normanni or Northmen, a medieval term to denote the fierce Norse seafarers who with their long ships pillaged, traded and occupied many coastal areas of Europe from the late 8th to late 11th centuries. They were also called Vikings, from the Old Norse víkingr, vík “inlet”, “cove”, “fjord”, from whence they came in Scandinavia. In about AD 820 Danish Norsemen started raiding the French coast and sailing up the Seine and other rivers to plunder the countryside. The raids ended in 911 when King Charles the Simple made a treaty with the Viking chief Rollo which ceded him and his followers a large tract of land around Rouen, soon to become the duchy of Normandy, in exchange for the Norman’s protection of France from other raiders and their conversion to Christianity. Rollo and his descendants, who became dukes of Normandy, gained considerable wealth from trade, rents and raids on other regions. By the reign of Duke Richard II (996-1026) a high degree of assimilation had evolved Roger II depicted on an Arabic-style mosaic. and the Normans had stopped speaking their original Scandinavian language Palatine Chapel in Palazzo Reale (Palermo, Sicily) in favour of the vernacular spoken by French inhabitants of the region. In 1016, Norman adventurers sailed into the Mediterranean Sea and landed in the Byzantine catapanate of Italy in order to visit the shrine of St Michael at Monte Gargano. While there they met with a Lombard nobleman from Bari, Melo, and entered his service and that of other local nobles, in their rebellion against Byzantine rule. Between1020s and 1050s more land-hungry Normans arrived and took land for themselves from the Greek overlords. The numerous sons of Tancred de Hauteville spearheaded the Norman advance into southern Italy, one of them, William Iron Arm, became lord of Apulia in 1043. He was succeeded by his brothers Drogo and Humphrey, who defeated forces sent by Pope Leo IX in an attempt to enforce papal rights in southern Italy. In 1059 Pope Nicholas II granted Humphrey’s brother and successor, Robert Guiscard, the duchies of Apulia and Calabria. Now that Robert and his brother Roger controlled most of southern Italy, they began to turn their attention to prosperous Sicily. Duke Roger I led the invasion of Sicily at Messina in 1060 which ended with the fall of Palermo in 1071 and Malta in 1091. Roger I died in 1101 and his widow, Adelaide del Vasto, a north Italian, established the court in Palermo where she acted as regent to her son, Roger II. In 1127 Roger II also succeeded to the duchy of Apulia and in 1130 he was crowned by Pope Anacletus II as king of the Kingdom of Sicily, which included most of southern Italy. Unlike the Arabs the Normans did not conquer Sicily to colonise it, but remained a minority ruling elite over a kingdom which became the meeting place of Latin, Greek and Arabic civilisation centred at the splendid court of Palermo. Roger II died in 1154 and was succeeded by his son, William I, who was not a strong ruler and power struggles ensued. When he died in 1166 his queen Margaret of Navarre was left as regent to their young son William II. To control the restive barons, the queen brought in French and Spanish kinsmen to administer the kingdom and when William II came of age in 1172 he made some effort to strengthen the central administration, but died without an heir in 1189. Here began the problem of his successors: Tancred, illegitimate son of Roger III of Apulia, was crowned king of Sicily in 1189 and remained in power until 1194 until he was succeeded by his second son William III, who reigned briefly for ten months when he was overthrown by his great-aunt Constance and her husband the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI of the Hohenstaufen dynasty.å

House of Hohenstaufen (1194-1268) The Hohenstaufen dynasty, also called Staufen, was the dynasty that ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1138 to 1208 and from 1212 to 1254. The founder of the line was the count Frederick, who built Staufen Castle in the Swabian Jura Mountains and was rewarded for his fidelity to Emperor Henry IV by being appointed duke of Swabia as Frederick in 1079. He later married Henry’s daughter Agnes. His two sons, Frederick II, duke of Swabia, and Conrad, were the heirs of their uncle, Emperor Henry V, who died childless in 1125. After the interim reign of the Saxon Lothar III, Conrad became the German king and the Holy Roman emperor as Conrad III in 1138. Subsequent Hohenstaufen rulers were Frederick I Barbarossa (Holy Roman emperor 1155–90), Henry VI (Holy Roman emperor 1191–97). After his coronation in Rome in 1191, Henry VI was determined to conquer the kingdom of Sicilian and proceeded to besiege Naples. He entered Palermo on November 1194 and was crowned king of Sicily on December Frederick II on the second 25. In 1197, while Henry was in southern Italy preparing a crusade, a rebellion against his rule page of the “Manfred broke out in the Sicilian kingdom, which was put down with savage cruelty. In the same year manuscript” (Biblioteca Henry died of malaria at Messina and was succeeded by his son Frederick II. Frederick II was born Vaticana, Pal. lat 1071) at Jesi, Ancona in 1194 and was to become one of the most enlightened and respected monarchs of the twelfth-century, nicked named stupor mundi (‘wonder of the world’). Frederick was only four years old when his mother Constance, the posthumous daughter of Roger II, died in 1198. Though she had appointed Pope Innocent III as the boy’s guardian and regent, a succession of German barons, who had been fiefs in Sicily under Henry, occupied Palermo and kept Frederick there. Frederick finally took over government in 1208, but preferred to live in southern Italy. During the early years of Frederick’s minority there was a chaotic struggle for the control of the German kingdom, where Otto of Brunswick took the crown, and Sicily, where forces loyal to the regency conquered Palermo in 1206. Frederick entered his majority at the age of 14 in 1208, but his reign was not truly secured until Pope Innocent III arranged his marriage in 1209 to Constance of Aragon, who brought with her much needed military and financial resources. In 1210 Frederick’s position was again threatened when Otto invaded Italy, only to be excommunicated by the pope and deposed by the council of German princes in favour of Frederick in 1212. In 1220 Frederick was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Honorius II in Rome and promised he would soon lead a crusade to the Holy Land. From 1220-25 he set out to consolidate his hold on Sicily. Despite his promises to set out to the Holy Land, he only began his preparations in 1227. Irritated by constant delays, Pope Gregory IX finally excommunicated him, but Frederick did eventually departed for the East and was able to secure Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth and crown himself king of Jerusalem. On his triumphal return to Italy, the ban was lifted according to Treaty of S. Germano in 1230. In 1231 Frederick promulgated a new constitution, the Liber Augustalis, meanwhile he also put down rebellions in Germany and a campaign against the Lombards in Italy. His final break with the Pope came in 1239 when Frederick was again excommunicated. His struggles were still in progress when he died in 1250. On Frederick’s death, the structure he had put in place fell apart, beginning a period of steady decline and civil war. The will of Frederick II named his son Conrad I as his heir to the Kingdom of Sicily and his other son Manfred was nominated to be vicar. The first died in the 1254 and after the interlude of Conradin (Conrad II, 1254-8), Manfred, following his first attempt to reach an agreement with the Pope, usurped the Kingdom of Sicily in 1258 with the backing of local barons, for which he was immediately excommunicated because the Papacy considered the kingdom as its own feud. In his desire to detach Sicily from the Holy Roman Empire Pope Innocent IV had offered Charles I of Anjou the crown to the Kingdom of Sicily and Apulia as early as 1252.

He became senator of Rome (1263, 1265–78) and undertook to champion the papal cause against Manfred, the Hohenstaufen who had usurped the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily in 1258. In reward, he was crowned king of Naples and Sicily in 1266 by Pope Clement IV, which he had already received as a papal grant in 1262. Charles defeated and killed Manfred at the Battle of Benevento in 1266 and then defeated and executed the last of the Hohenstaufen line, Conradin, later that year. As leader of the Execution of Conradin, following the Battle Guelphs, or papal faction, he gained political hegemony in Italy and won of Tagliacozzo in 1268 suzerainty over several cities in Tuscany, Piedmont, and Lombardy, but his overbearing policies led to a cooling of his relations with the papacy. Planning to establish his own empire, he allied himself with the deposed Latin ruler of Constantinople, Baldwin II, against Greek Michael VIII and fought for years in the Balkans. Corfu, Epirus, and Albania were taken. The crushing taxes necessitated by his wars and his appointment of oppressive French officials to exact them led to the Sicilian Vespers in 1282. The ensuing war against the Sicilian rebels and Peter III of Aragón, chosen by the rebels as king of Sicily, continued after his death in Foggia in 1285 under Charles’s son and successor, Charles II, then a prisoner in Catalonia, so the regency passed to his French cousin Robert II of Artois, son of the younger brother of St Loius.

The so-called “horses” are coins of great rarity and charm both to the scene that appears on obverse where the king comes out against an invisible enemy, the type adopted by other mints in France and Italy, both for the artistic value as it is supposed the engraver, probably of French origin, it was inspired by manuscripts and seals. Moreover, the political message by the king is evident: Charles using this image, wanted to celebrate the victory over the Svevi or his participation in the Seventh Crusade. Brindisi

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).

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. 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.

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.
