13. Tous les droits accordés par CNG ou dont les enchérisseurs et a c q u é r e u r s p e u v e n t a u t r e m e n t se p r é v a l o i r leur sont personnels et ne peuvent pas être c é d é s ni t r a n s f é r é s à une autre personne physique ou morale, que ce soit du fait de l'intervention de la loi ou autrement.

Les mineurs ne sont pas autorisés à f a i r e d'enchères sans l'autorisation écrite de l'un de leurs parents garantissant le paiement. CNG peut exiger le règlement intégral de la part d'un e n c h é r i s s e u r avant la livraison des lots.

GREEK COINAGE

1.

SPAIN, Carthaginian Occupation. Circa 235-220 BC. AR Shekel (6.75 gm). Bare head left / Horse right, palm tree behind; Punic letter " below. Villaronga, Hispano-Cartaginesas, 229 (dies 157/202); Burgos 413.

The male portraits on the coins of Carthaginian Spain have been taken to represent members of thefamily of Hannibal, the Barms ruling in Spain. Heads representing Herakles-Melkart have been identified as Hamilkar Barca and Hannibal himself, with the seemingly younger head as Hasdrubal, brother of Hannibal. Barring any known portraits of the Barca family, and with no other clear portraiture in the Carthaginian series, it seems likely that the portraits are intended to represent the Punic gods Melkart (affiliated with the Creek Herakles) and Eshmoun-Adonis (affiliated with Apollo).

($1000) There is not an ethnic on these early silver drachms, but the attribution is clear; thefirst issues of Velia used a recognizable typefrom the parent city, Phokaia in Ionia (a hekte, Bodenstedt 36, with lion 1φ). Velia was settled by colonists from Phokaia around 535 BC, some five years after being driven from their home city by the Persians and after several years of living by piracy on Corsica, until Etruscan and Carthaginian forces put an end to their raids. Williams assumes coinage began soon after the founding of the city and ends hisfirstsection ofdrachms around 510 BC. Bodenstedt, hmoever, in his paradigm of annual issuesfrom Phokaia, places the lion type around 506 BC. If Bodenstedt is correct in his dating, the drachms at Velia must have begun some time after 505 BC, compressing the entire issue (Williams period I, sections 1 -5) into a shorter time span, circa 505-Î65 BC. 1 6

A most distinctive stater of Alexander, unrecorded in Price's corpus. A most attractive representation of Athena with short curly "permed" hair in a style that is infrequently encountered.

On the basis of style, it seems most likely that this stater was struck at Tarsos.

The chronology of the early "oivls" ofAthens remains one of the most complex problems of Greek numismatics. Since the pioneering early 20th century studies by Svoronos and Seltman, a great deal ofevidence has been accumulatedfor the series, but much work remains in interpreting that evidence. The study by Kraay in NumChron 1956 has been ränforced by the analysis ofearly 5th century hoards, such as the Asyut hoard, and the general period ofstriking has been centered on 510-480 BC, behveen the expulsion of the Peisistratid tyrants and the destruction of Athens by the Persians. Within that brief time there 1uas an explosion of coinage as Athens prospered under its neiofreedom. The process of clarifying the issues ofthat period is complicated by the archaizing tendencies of the engravers (using styles and motiß long outdated in other art forms), and the massive quantities of dies required, employing a number of engravers of varying aptitudes. Until afirm sequence of die links am be established, the precise order of issues remains clouded by uncertainty.

Seltman suggests this issue is a direct result of the Peace ofNikias in 421 BC, a temporary truce in the Peloponnesian War that, among otlier clauses, allowed Athenians and their allies full access to the sacred site of Olympia. The increase in commerce would place heavy demands on the Elian mint.

Amastris, a niece of Darios of Persia, became a pawn in the cotttplex dynastie quarreis thatfollowed the death ofAlexander. She had been given as wife to Alexander's general Krateros, but was dismissed when Krateros arranged a marriage with the daughter of Antipater. She then married Dionysos, tyrant of Herakleia, by whom she had three children before his death in 306 BC. Her next brief marriage in 302 BC was to Lysimachos of Thrace, who soon acquired a more profitable alliance by wedding the daughter of Ptolemy Philadelphos of Egypt. Tiring of the whirl ofalliances, Amastris retired to the territory of Herakleia, wliere she founded a neiu city named after herself. She was not destined tofiiui peace, however; in 288 BC her two covetous sons had her drowned and seized her cityfor themselves.

This is the sole electrum issue of Lampsakos of the 5th century BC, all other stater issues being offinegold. Its anomalous zoeight standard is known only for Lampsakos, and all knozim specimens are struck from the same dies, indicating a very limited striking. Earlier opinions placed it at the time of the Athmian Coinage Decree of 449 BC, when all silver coinage of the Delian League was ordered recoined into Athenian owls. This electrum stater would have been intended to evade that rule.

Hoivever, recent hoard studies have suggested a date later in the 5th century, perlmps at the time of the revolt of Lampsakos against Athens in 412 BC. The winged horse would not represent the Greek Pegasos, but rather a mythical beast in the same category as the winged boars and bears seen on the archaic coinage ofAsia Minor, and having an origin in eastern mythology. The use of such a type could be seen as a reaction against the aggressive hellenizing of Athens.

The history and distribution of the early electrum coinage of Asia Mmor is knoivn only in the broadest outline. While certain types, such as the stag of Ephesos and the seal of Phokaia can be identified with some certainty as distinctive civic badges, the vast majority of attributions can be based only on educated guesswork, aided by reports of sitefinds such as the great Artemision deposit of 1904-1905. Some order can be put to the confusing series by identifing which weight standard a coin was struck to.

The cities ofAsia Minor were grouped into informal leagues or trading networks, sharing the same standards. The two most common stater standards are named after the most prominent of these cities, Miletos (Milesian, c.14.1 grams), and Phokaia (Phokaic, c.16.2 grams). Other weight standards have been identified as Croesid (later Persian, c. 10.8 grams), Aeginetan (c.12.5 grams), Lampsacene (c.15.3 grams) and Euboic-Attic (c.17 grams). While this will serve to categorize a stater easily enough, by the time you get down to 1/24 or 1/48 staters, the difference between standards may only be 0.03 grams, too slight to get a certain reading when wear on the coins and the accuracy of the average scale is taken into account. The standards given for thefractions offered here are our best approximations based on these tzvofactors and may varyfrom the attributions of the Rosen collection.

Although this stater was attributed to Mytilene on Lesbos in the Tkalec auction, the use of the Milesian weight standard instead of the Phokaic standard used by that city makes such an attribution unlikely. The types of this and the following stater are indeed suggestive ofMytilene, and tlxe type of the present coin is taken directlyfrom the incuse reverse of a hekte (Bodenstedt 15). The use of this type tied with this weight standard leads to the conclusion that this must be included among the electrum issues of the Ionian Revolt of499-494 BC. Aristagoras, tyrant ofMiletos under the Persians, inspired a rebellion among the Greeks of Asia Minor when lie found his mm position threatened by his unsuccessful attack on the island of Naxos, a port intended as a stepping-stoiKfor an eventual Persian invasion of mainland Greece. Athough the revolt centered on Ionia, cities in Aeolis and Caria also joined in thefighting, as luell as the islands ofSamos, Chios, Lesbos and Cyprus. The tyrant of Mytilene, Koes, was stoned to death by disgruntled citizens. Tins stater might have been struck at Mytilene itself, but scholars have suggested that all of the Ionian Revolt staters were struck at Miletos, the cetiter of the revolt tuhich finallyfell to Persian forces in 494 BC.

Countermarked Lydian Third Staters The countermarks or banker's marks seen on these electrum third staters have not been noted previously in such a large concentration. They are of the same type that appear 011 numerous Persian silver sigloi, but are infrequently encountered on electrum or gold. Their non-appearance on Lydian electrum would imply that the countermarks were applied elsewhere in the Persian empire. Some of the countermarks resemble the civic symbols of other Greek states, and some have been intrepreted as Cypriot or Phoenician letters. See BMC Arabia etc, pp.cxxxvi-cxl for discussion and table of the various punches found 011 sigloi. Unlike most Lydian electrum, which must have remained within the confines of the kingdom, this little handful must have seen extensive circulation.

The Achaemenid kings, ruling a land empire too vast to be governedfrom Persepolis, divided their territory into twenty districts, to be administered by sa traps,from the Old Persian xshathrapavan - "kingdom protector". These governors ivere responsible for all military andfiscalaffairs within their provinces, and many quicklyfollowed the route to wealth andpozuer, often becoming dire threats to their royal overlords. Using their autonomy to its fullest, the satraps governing the eastern Greek states gained control of the wealth ofAsia Minor, represented by the region's productive mines, the profitable trade routes between east and west, and battle-trained Greek mercenaries spun-offby the interminable wars between the states, all available to the strongman willing louse them. Alt of thesefactors had played a role in the developmen t of the earliest coinage from Asia Minor, and a Persian satrap is responsiblefor the earliest true portrait found on a coin, possibly Tissaphemes ofMysia.

The satraps of Caria, starting with Hyssaldomos, would rule as a virtually independent dynasty for almost a century, strengthening their own position against that of their ostensible overlord, the Persian king in far Persepolis. Hekatomnos struck thefirst coinsfor the Carian satrapy, copying the lion types ofMiletos. His later issues introduced the type that would become the emblem of the dynasty, thefigure of Zeus Labraundos, whose temple was near Mylasa, the birthplace of Hekatomnos.

Hekatomnos died in 377 BC, to be followed in succession by each of his three sons, Maussollos, Hidrieus and Pixodaros. Maussollos expanded his territory at the expense of his neighboring satraps and in defiance of the Persian king. He moved the capital from Mylasa to Halikamassos, at which point thefixing head of Apollo/Helios becomes the standard obverse type for tire Carian tetradrachm. Although condemned by the Greek au thorsfor his avarice and thirstfor power, the satrap was acknoivledged as a man of culture, embellishing his capital with remarkable architecture (his Mausoleum being one of the Wonders of the Ancient World), and encouraging the study of science and art. Hidrieus continued in his brother's footsteps and added tire islands of Chios, Kos and Rhodes to his domain, three important centers of commerce which had until then managed tofend off tire gmumrg Carian empire (which by ησιυ it was in all but name).

The Carians appear to have overextended themselves, however, for by the reign of Pixodaros the satrap is seen making dynastic marriages to preserve his position between Persia and tire Greeks. One of his daughters married Rlroontopates, a Persian courtier who would eventually succeed him, while another was offered to the Macedonian house (see lot 511 forfurther details of this episode). That offer, which might !rave altered tire course of western history, ivas rejected after Alexander's meddling. As it was, Rlroontopates would meet the awry of Alexander in battle, and the Carian dynasty would come to a sudden end, absorbed into the expanding Greek empire.

In fact, the known specimens are such that the actual spelling of Rhoontopates' name has been a matter of speculation. The spelling "Orontobates" is theform of the name as it appears in Arrian. However, as the present specimen (and the coin sold previously by CNG) clearly establishes, the spelling on the coin is "Rhoontopates", a Persian name that Arrian obviously hellenized.

Rhoontopates, a Pasian noble, first appears in history during the reigti of Philip II of Macedon. As Philip commenced his invasion ofAsia, the satrap of Caria, Pixodaros, proposed an alliance to be sealed by the marriage of Pixodaros' daughter with Philip's son Philip Arrhidaeos. As negotiations progressed, Alexander learned of the plans and secretly sent the famous actor Thettalos to Pixodaros to tell Pixodaros that Philip Arrhidaeos was a half-wit and to offer Alexander himself as bridegroom. Alexander's meddling ruined the negotiations, no alliance was made, and Caria remained an enemy to resist Alexander in his eventual march through Asia. Pixodaros thereupon married his daughter to Rhoontopates, who was the first Persian to marry into the ruling family of Caria. Philip, infuriated by Alexander's meddling, punished his son. The episode shoivs Alexander's immaturity, as he did not realize that Philip ivas prepared to saaifice Philip Arrhidaeos to a Carian marriage but ivould not have compromised his heir in such an alliance.

After the death of Pixodaros in 334 BC, Rhoontopates succeeded him, and as Alexander marched south he found himself opposed by the man who had married the woman to whom he had offered himself. With the assistance of Greek mercanaries, Roontopates led a spirited defense of the capital city of Halikarnassos, which fell to Alexander after fierce fighting tlwt helped establish Alexander's reputation for siege warfare. Rhoontopates continued to hold outlying areas of Cariafor a further few months, but in 333 BC Alexander's conquest of the province was completed.

Babelon had attributed this series to Evagoras II, king of Salamis on Cyprus, while Price leaves it as an uncertain Persian satrap. One possible source might be the satrap Memnon (336-333 BC), originally the governor of Lydia, and after the defeat of the Persians at the Cranicus, the supreme commander of Persian forces in the west. Memnon came to the assistance of Rhoontopates of Caria, but after thefall of Halikarnassos conceived the bold plan of carrying the war to Greece itself, where the Spartans and other Greeks, chafing under Macedonian rule, offered potential allies. Darius provided him with thefunds to equip a fleet and mercenary army, but after capturing Chios and part of Lesbos, Memnon died of illness before he could reduce Mytilene, a rear base necessary to support his invasion fleet. The Persian king on these tetradrachms might represent Memnon's lost capital at Sardeis (the mint for Persian daricsand sigloi in the west) as well as the treasure provided by Darius to support his operations against Alexander.

Diademed head; one diadem end draped over shoulder, the other flutters behind / Apollo seated on omphalos, holding arrow and bow; tripod to left, "spectacles" in exergue. Cf. Newell, WSM 1096c Good VF, recently cleaned. ($300) The tripod symbol is found on tetradrachms of Antiochos III from Antioch, dated to the middle part of his reign by Newell. However, the exergue symbol is unrecorded, and the portrait style in no way marks this coin as an issue of the central mint of Antioch, nor does it resemble any other issue ofan official mint. At this time (202-198 BC) Antiochos was conducting his overwhelmingly successful assault on the Ptolemies of Egypt, quickly depriving them of all their possessions in Phoenicia and Palestine. The crudely prepared dies of this coin may mark it as an unofficial issue struck in the nam ofAn tiochos and reflecting the neivly expanded sphere of influence of the Seleukid kingdom.

Paul Naster, "La Technique des Revers Partiellement Incus de Monnaies Phéniciennes", in ANS Centennial Publication, pp.503-511, details the unique employmentof combined bas relief and incuse components on coins ofArados, Byblos, Sidon and Tyre, seemingly influenced by Egyptian sculptural technique. While most of the types are self explanatory (e.g., the owl of Tyre, the hunting scenes of Sidon where the prey is shown in incuse), the crescent on the coins of Arados is passed on ivithout comment. In light of Arados' significance as a trading port, and its use ofa galley as a civic badge, it seems likely that tlie incuse aescent is intended to represent the busy harbor at Arados.

At the end of the First Punic War in 246 BC, Carthage found herself confronted with a dilemma. Large numbers of Greek, Italian and African mercenaries had been hired to pursue the war with Rome, and new Carthage, defeated and bankrupt, did not have any moneyfor the pay owed to them. Rebellion broke out in Sardinia and Africa.

The latter situation became critical -when one of the leaders, Matho, a native Libyan, inspired the native population to join the mercenaries against thär Punic Carthaginian overlords.

VF, minor field marks. ($20‫)ש‬ Ex Garrett Collection, Part III (Numismatic Fine Arts/Bank Leu, 29 March 1985), lot 107.

Military unrest became a nationalist war of liberation. Coins were struck in the name of Libya and "M ", which has been taken as either "machanat "-the Canrp (of the mercenaries), or perhaps Matho, their leader. The first issues were apparently on overstruck Carthaginian silver shekels, but later issues arefound on neivly prepared flans, although the fineness of the silver seems to vary greatly. Hamilcar Barm, the great Carthaginian general,finally suppressed the revolt in 238 BC.

The use of the attributes of Herakles by Juba is not merely the use of a well known theme, but a claim ofdirect descent from the mythic hero. Herakles fought with and strangled the giant Antaeus as he passed through Libya on his way to gather the golden apples of the Hesperides. Legend claimed that Herakles also dallied with a local maiden named Tingis, whose offspring Sophaxfounded the Mauritanian dynasty. Juba emplwsized his prestigious ancestry even as his African kingdom gradually lost its autonomy to Rome.

The minting of these denarii, probably at Osca itself, marks the restoration of Roman order in Spain and the renewedfloiu of Spanish silver to the Roman treasury.

When Vespasian zvas proclaimed emperor by the legions in the East in 69, he left his son Titus to quell the jeiuish uprising under the leadership of the zealots, lohn of Giscala and Simon ofGerasa. Titus accomplished the task in 70 AD, and in the folloivingyear, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian celebrated a splendid triumph in Rome.

Several different reverse types were employed on the coinage by the Flavians to commemorate the triumph over the Jeiuish zealots. On the reverse of the coin offered here, the palm tree of seven fronds represents /udaea, while Victory inscribes on a shield what would have been the legend ΌΒ CIV S ER,' or ob cives servatos ("because of the citizens having been served "). In his study of the Iudaea Capta series, Brin states that the "title u‫׳‬as in recognition of the awarding of an oak-wreath to any atizen who had saved the lives of his fellow dtizens in circumstances requiring extretne valor. " Hefurther comments that the title wasfitting to Vespasian (and thereby Titus) for rescuing Roman citizens from the threat of the zealots by conquering ]udaea.

An Impressive Trajan D u p o n d i u s

Documentation in ancient sources is plentiful concerning the Port of Trajan (cf.

Pliny, Ep. 6.31, letter to Cornelianus); however, the exact location of the port is uncertain. In Untersuchungen zur Römischen Reichsprägung des Zweiten Jahrhunderts, teill, Die Reichsprägung zur Zeit des Traian, pp .212-3, Strack claims that it is the harbour of Trajan at Ostia as opposed to that at Centumcellae.

Mattingly, in the introduction to BMCRE, vol. II, pg.civ, questions Strack's conelusion. Perhaps future archaeologicalfieldzvork will determine the precise location of the port depicted on this issue.

JULIA DOMNA, wife of Septimius Severus. Died 217 AD. AR Denarius (2.95 gm). Struck 207 AD. IVLLA AVGVSTA, draped bust right / FECVNDITAS, Fecunditas reclining left under tree, resting arm on basket of fruit and placing right hand on celestial orb; standing before her are four children representing the Four Seasons. RIC IV 549; BMCRE 21(Septimius and Caracalla); Hill 850; RSC 35. Toned, near EF. Rare reverse type. ($2000) The reverse type and legend allude to the fertility (and thus, prosperity) not only of the Roman empire under the Severans, but to Julia Domna as the mother of Caracalla and Geta. The depiction of the four children in association with Fecunditas or Tellus represents the passing ofseasons and the prosperity associated with the harvests.

This coin can be more closely dated by the magistrate's office. Glaukon appears as strategos for the first time earlier in the Severan period; he appears on a coin of Germe in the name ofPlautilla, hence between 202-205 AD. He must have accepted his second magistracy between 205-209 AD, since it is recorded on a coin of Geta as Caesar. ΤΙκ rather aowded reverse features deities that appear individually on numerous Germe coins in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, but not in this grouping, the significance of which is uncertain. We cannot sayfor sure if reference is being made to a JULIA DOMNA, wife of Septimius Severus. Died 217 AD. AR specific event, but the posture ofTyche presenting a wreath toa seatedfigure(orbe- 995. ing presented one herself) is often associated with the sponsoring of the agonistic Denarius (2.73 gm). Struck 193-196 AD. Emesa mint. IVLIA DO-MNA AVG, games, important athletic events and festivals proclaimed by the emperor and ea- draped bust right / [SAEjCVL FELIC1T, seven stars above crescent. RIC IV ($300) gerly sought by ambitious towns for the prestige (and income) that the city derived 629 (Septimius Severus); BMCRE 421; RSC 173. EF. from the affairs. On the other hand, the city fathers would be tapped for hefty contributions toward expenses, often leaving individual magistrates like Glaukon bankrupt! He at least got his name on the coin. Germe may have celebrated such a festival, which perhaps coincided luith the elevation of Severus' younger son Geta to the rank of Augustus.

RIC IV 36; BMCRE pg.503, *; RSC 88. Lightly toned, EF. ($2000) The dating and sequence of the eastern coinage of Macrinus has been subject to much discussion, engendered by a curious reversal in his titles. As Curtis Clay noted in "The Roman Coinage of Macrinus and Diadumenian ", Numismatische Zeitschrift 93, pp. 21-40, Macrinus' coins showing one (first) consulship follow the coins showing a second consulship. Apparently hisfirst consular acclamation was an honorary title frequently given to equestrian officials. When he became a true consul in January 218, he was titled consulfor the second time on his coinage until he apparently insisted on constitutional correctness. The honest emperor also did not press the claim of having won a victory over the Parthian king Artabanos; he was in fact repeatedly defeated by the invading Persian army, and only staved off disaster by agreeing to a substantial payment of some 15,000,000 drachms to cement a truce. The "Victoria Partium " and quadriga coin types, and imperial title I Parthicus were short lived phenomena, as ephemeral as his unfortunate reign.

PHILIP 1.244-249 AD. AR Antoninianus (3.63 gin). 245 AD. M P M IVL PHILIPPVS AVG, radiate, d r a p e d a n d cuirassed bust right / ADVENTVS AVGG, Philip on horseback left, raising right hand and holding reversed spear. RIC IV 26b; RSC 3. Superb EF, pleasant light toning. ($200) Upon Philip's accession early in 244 while on campaign with Gordian III in the East, he quickly declared a truce with the Sasanian king Shapur I, left the command of the East to his brother, Gaius Julius Priscus, and hurried to Rome to consolidate his hold on power. His arrival in Rome was accompanied by a largesse that was distributed to the citizenry, of which this coin is a splendid example. The reverse design depicting the arrival in Rome of the neiu emperor with hand raised in a triumphant gesture leaves little to the imagination of Philip's altruistic aspirationsfor a tranquil future. However, he goes further and breaks with tradition by employing the reverse legend 'AVGG' which had, until the time of Philip, only been used if there were two Augusti. The new use of the term thus stresses Philip's indication to the Roman people the establishment of a dynasty, which naturally would have been vieived as a return to a more stable time such as that under the Antonines. For a short article on this reverse type on Philip's coinage, see Fred Kleiner, "Equestrian Portraits of Philip the Arab" in Floregium Numismaticum: Studia in Honorem U. Westermark Edita (Stockholm, 1992), pp.197ff.

A Collection of Antoniniani of Postumus Postumus, the governor of Lower Germany, revolted from Gallienus in the autumn of 260 and created the Ga‫ש‬c empire, which was to survive as a separate state for fifteen years. The breakaway empire was initially composed of the three Gallic provinces, Lugdunensis, Aquitania and Narbonensis, plus Upper and Lower Germany. Eventually, Britain and Spam would join in the revolt.

Postumus was extremely popular, and enjoyed outstanding success in defending and restoring the Rhine frontier from Frankish and Alemannic incuisions. However, by 268 his popularity had waned, and in February 269, the governor of Upper Germany, Laelianus, revolted. Laelianus' support seems to have rapidly withered however, and within just a few months, Postumus had defeated the usurper. Postumus' downfall came w h e n he was murdered by his soldiers for refusing to allow them to pillage the city of Moguntiacum (Mainz), the headquarters of Laelianus.

($300) After the deaths ofPostumus and laelianus in early 269, Marius employed two mints for the production of his coinage, one thought to have beat located at Trier (Treveri), and the second at Cologne (Colonia Agrippinensis). Control of the mint at Cologne had been gained by Laelianus during his revolt from Postumus, and it subsequently passed to Marius upon Laelianus' death. In an effort to speed production, Marius enqiloyed the reverse dies already pivsent at the mint for Iiis cum coinage. The reverse die of the coin presented here is a shared die of Laelianus.

Before he could follow up on his successes however, he was struck by a bolt of lightening and died. At least this is the story according to the Historia Augusta, and it is hardly credible. It is much more likely that lie was murdered by either Aper, the praetorian prefect, or by Diocletian, the commander of the imperial bodyguard. All of Carus' gold coinage is rare and especially this provincial mint issuefrom Alexandria.

DEO SAR-APIDI, radiate and draped bust of Sol-Serapis left / VOTA PVBLICA, Anubis standing left, holding sistrum and caduceus. EF, dark brown patina. ($500) The Ptolemaic cult of Serapis and Isis enjoyed great popularity throughout Hellenistic and Roman times, and indeed the Romans, like the Creeks and Persians before than, were fascinated by the culture and monuments of ancient Egypt. The Ptolemies and the Roman emperors were not content zuithjust being theforeign rulers of thisfascimting land, but they zvanted to be viewed as Pharaohs and the legitimate succèssors of the Dynastic pharoahs. To this end, they portrayed tlzemselves as Pharoahs to the native population and even brought back certain aspects of the Egyptian culture and religion to tlzeir ozvn mtive countries and cities. The Egyptian concept of the Pharaoh as a god was appealing to the Roman emperors (the aging Julius Caesar zvas especially taken zuith this concept during his romance zvith Cleopatra). This particular little bronze was possibly issued during the time of Julian II in an attempt to revive the pagan religions and institutions as Christianity started to overshadow them in both importance and popularity. The Egyptian god of the undenvorld, Anubis, also the god who oversazu tlze mummification process, is depicted on the reverse of this coin which reflects on the Egyptian pre-occupation zvith death and the afterlife.

Cnisafont—. Good VF, olive green patina. Struck on a crudely cast flan. Rare and unpublished. ($750) A completely unknown Visigothic bronze, both in type and size. The generalform is similar to the Ispalis small bronzes with crude head and SP, but ΖΊ8( ) is unrecorded. Could it be an abbreviation for ISpalis in B(A)etica, giving both city and province?

The weight proves considerably higher than any known Visigothic bronze, and if struck to a consistent standard, may represent a new 5 unit (nummi) coin. An important discovery coin in the Visigothic series and worthy of further research.

Robert de Conti del Genevois (Clement VII) was thefirst anti-pope of the Schism, opposing Bartolomeo Prigano (Urban VI).

After his death his family fled to the United States, where two of his sons married American women, one a niece of George Washington.
