This coiti ivas first attributed to the reign of Hieron by W. Giesecke, Sicilia Numismatica, pp. 126-7, and has been followed by later numismatists of the period, including Franke and Holloway. Giesecke interpreted the reverse type .•.XIII to be the denomination, the X standing for Chalkous and the .·. — III as two different indications of the numeral. Agreeing with Giesecke, Holloway states that "[t]his interpretation has much to recommend it. It avoids postulating the use of Roman numerals in pre-Roman Syracuse, and it has the inestimable advantage of agreeing ivith the relative lueights of the coins (ca. 0.5 gm for the Herakles head pieces, ca. 0.75 gm for the Athene head coins)." The type is very rare, and the variety with an obverse ethnic below the truncation of Athena's neck in addition to the reverse ethnic is previously unknown, although it is possible that the obverse ethnic is simply illegible on the existing examples.

Fisher, ANSMN 30, Issue I ( 0 3 / R 3 ) . Toned, nice VF. Rare issue. ($1000) This rare coin is the first issue of the Quaestor Aesillas, whose coinage was massive in later years. It names the praetor Caesar, who has been identified with L. Julius Caesar, governor (praetor) of Macedon in the late 90s BC. A man of the same name zuas praetor of Macedon in 67 BC. Thus the dating of the series is far from certain, however the traditional theory of circa 94-88 BC is supported by Athenian overstrikes. Others favor dates from the mid-80s through the early 60s BC. In any case, this is the inaugural issue and of historical importance as such.

Pantikapaion was founded by Creek colonists from Miletos in the late 7th century BC. Situated on the ivest side of the Cimmerian Bosporos, in what is now the Crimea, it achieved great prosperity through its exploitation of the abundant fisheries of the Straits and the export of wheat from the Crimea. This wealth is attested by its splendid gold coinage commencing in the mid-4th century and by the magnificently furnished rock tombs of its principal citizens in the 4th and 3rd centuries. Later, it was to become a regional capital of the kingdom of Mithradates VI of Pontos (120-63 BC) and later still the seat of the kings of Bosporos (1st cent. BC — 4th cent. AD).

The coinage of Pantikapaion seems to have commenced îuith silver issues in the latter part of the 5th century, but it is for its beautiful gold staters that the mint is chiefly noted. Gold was obtained in great quantities from the Altai and Ural mountains, much of which found its ivay to western Asia Minor where it tuas coined by the Lampsakos mint. The earliest gold staters of Pantikapaion were issued in the mid-4th century and are of the purest Greek style, the dies probably being the ivork of a Lanipsakene artist. They depict a three-quarter facing head of the god Pan (a pun on the name of the city) and on the reverse thegriffin which Herodotos describes as being the guardian of the remote sources of gold. This lovely example Iws a profile image of the god and dates to the second half of the 4th century.

This Mesembria diobol bears a "collector's cachet" indicating its possession by a European (possibly Russian) collector.

The history and distribution of the early electrum coinage of Asia Minor is known 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 site finds 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 of Asia 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, ca.14.1 grams), and Phokaia (Phokaic, ca.16.2 grams).
434. Kroisos. Circa 561-546 BC. AR 1 / 2 4 Siglos (0.41 gm). Confronted foreparts of lion and bull / Incuse p u n c h . Cf. Rosen 668. VF, porosity. Rare denomination. _______ ($200)
Other zveight standards have been identified as Croesid (later Persian, ca. 10.8 grams), Aeginetan (ca.12.5 grams), Lampsakene (ca.15.3 grams) and EuboicAttic (ca.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 ivhen wear on the coins and the accuracy of the average scale is taken into account. The standards given for the fractions offered here are our best approximations based on these two factors and may vaiy from the attributions of the Rosen collection. It will be noted that coins of identical type in the Rosen collection are given to two different systems based on weights.

($2500) The obverse type of this coin, the infant Herakles and the letters ΣΥΝ, is shared by a number of cities: Rhodes, Knidos, Iasos, Samos, Ephesos, Byzantion, Kyzikos and Lampsakos. In each case the reverse type is the badge of the individual city. An alliance coinage, this issue was only struck over a very short period of time, most likely following the battle of Knidos in 394 BC, as is evidenced by the fact that only one obverse die for the entire Samos issue is known.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. Babelon had attributed this series to Euagoras 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 Granicus, the supreme commander of Persian forces in the west. Memnon came to the assistance of Rhoontopates of Caria, but after the fall 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 the funds 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 Sardes (the mint for Persian darics and sigloi in the xvest) as well as the treasure provided by Darius to support his operations against Alexander.

Shapur, son of Ardashir, established the limits of the new Sasanian kingdom, bringing most of the lands between Syria and India under his control. In the east, the ancient kingdoms ofBaktria came under Persian domination, and the Kuslwnshahs became vassals of the "King of kings of Iran and non-Iran". It ivas in the west, however, that Shapur achieved the victories that insured his unique place in history. Shapur defeated not one, but two Roman emperors, first Philip I in 244 AD and then Valerian I in 260. Philip was forced to withdrau) from the field and pay a 500,000 aurei indemnity, but Valerian became the only Roman emperor to be captured in battle by a foreign foe. The unfortunate emperor was forced to act as footstool for Shapur, and after his death his body was stuffed and set out on display at the Persian court.

The identification of the conjoined heads on the obverse of this coin remains uncertain. They have been variously identified as Octavian and Agippa, Octavian and M. Aemilius Lepidus, and Octavian and Caesar. RPC states that "the portraits are completely unlike those of Octavian and are probably those of municipal officials." In the case of provincial coinage, it is difficult to use style as a criterion in identification as they were often either the work of inferior engravers or engravers without access to the Imperial imago, but without any epigraphic evidence the exact identity of these individuals will luve to remain uncertain.

($500) The Romans revived the coinage of King Philip Philadelphos in the 50s BC under the proconsul Aulus Gabinius. Issues were minted with the monograms of Gabinius, Crassus and Cassius, and then circa 49/48 BC the proconsul's monogram was replaced by one standing for either Antioch or 'Autonomous'. Aulus Gabinius gained fame as one ofPompey the Great's generals, and in his position as governor of Syria he played an important role in the inter-family battles of the Jeiuish priest-kings, the Hasmoneans. See David Hendin's Guide to Biblical Coins (3rd Edition) pp. 266-268 for more on this fascinating Roman general.

1115. Circa 217 BC. JE Aes Grave Septunx? (125.44 gm). Laureate head of Saturn left on raised disk; · S below / Prow of galley right; · S above. Thurlow-Vecchi—; Haeberlin—; Crawford—. VF, dark green and red patina. Unpublished and unique? ($8,000) At first glance this appears to be an ordinary semis (Thurlow-Vecchi 52), but the deliberate addition of a dot on both the obverse and reverse suggests otherwise (a dot on one side could be explained away as a die flaw, but a dot on both sides must have been done on purpose). Probably during a period of transition to a lower weight standard, the face value of the existing semis ivas raised by one uncia, and rather than waiting for new molds to be prepared, existing semis molds had a dot added to them and additional coins (septunxes) were cast at this new weight standard. Although unknown in modern references, the septunx is mentioned in a table of ancient coins in Histoire Ancienne. Vol 3: Histoire Nouvelle de tous les Peuples du Monde (no author, Paris 1779), page 236. Perhaps because of its great rarity, the septunx was unknown to, or unverifiable by modern numismatists. Additional research is warranted on this denomination.

The Good man Collection. Quite unusual with the female head on the prow stem.
The JE coinage of C. Renius is extremely rare. Crawford only lists two denominations, a semis and a quadrans, with only one pair of dies known for the semis and one obverse and two reverse dies for the quadrans. To our knowledge, this is the only knoiun Triens. With such a weak legend, attribution to Crawford 231 as opposed to Crawford 292/3 (the other issue with a goat-like animal) is confirmed by the lack of an obverse legend and the lack of four dots before the prow.

Domitius Calvinus was appointed governor of Spain by Octavian after that province was ceded by Sextus Pompey, son of Pompey the Great. The province was in a state of chaos after years of civil war and the rule by Sextus, who governed as little more than a brigand. The stern Calvinus, formerly magister équités under Caesar, pacified the province, putting down a revolt by the Ceretani, although not before subjecting a legionary detachment to the ancient punishment of decimation (executing one out of ten men) for cowardice in the face of the enemy. The minting of these denarii, probably at Osca itself, marks the restoration of Roman order in Spain and the reneiued flow of Spanish silver to the Roman treasury.

Fine, reddish brown patina. ($150) The Goodman Collection. The reading PIVS. IMP F given in Crawford rests on Bahrfeldt's statement (NZ 1909, pg. 72), that of the 38 examples he found in European museums and collections, he found 3 shoiving PIVS. IMP F on the obverse. The Kiev exampie was probably lost in WWII, but the other tiuo are in the D'Ailly collection in Paris. Richard Schaefer has examined all of the Eppius asses in the D'Ailly collection in the Bibliothèque Nationale, but none show the F clearly. Thus, surprisingly this specimen, otheriuise of no distinction, is enough off-center to be the first published example with the complete lower obverse legend. Fortunately it is quite strong and clearly reads PIVS IMPE, similar to the PIVS IMP on the reverse of Crawford 479. Sextus Pompeius was telling the Roman world tint he was not just the son of a famous man, but had been acclaimed Imperator himself!

Toned, good VF, flan crack. ($500) P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther and M. Servilius were joint legates to Cassius and Brutus, and both issued coins in the names of both generals. Lentulus Spinther was born in 74 BC and assumed the toga virilis in 57 BC, and in the same year loas elected to the college of augurs. After the murder of Caesar, he joined the parties of Cassius and Brutus and was probably killed at Philippi. The reverse type of this coin refers to Lentulus' appointment to the college of augurs and is one of the few instances in imperatoriaI coinage in which a moneyer used a reverse type that was personal to himself.

($12,000) This reverse type commemorates the capture of Rhodes by Cassius, u>ho seized booty amounting to eight thousand talents from the public treasury after he had contemptuously spurned the title of king which the terror-stricken Rhodians had offered him. The reverse design is significant in tlwt the aplustre was a common symbol of naval superiority, while the floreate endings of its branches allude to the rose, the civic emblem of Rhodes.

The Temple of Concordia at the northern end of the Forum in Rome was unusual in that due to space limitations it was constructed so that its width was greater than its length.

Fine, red-brown patina, corrosion spot on reverse. ($300) An interesting characteristic of this coin is its lack of the praenomen Caius, obviously having been removed following the damnatio memoriae, which called for the destruction or defacement of all images of the emperor, decreed by the Roman Senate following the death of Caligula. Occassionally, an example of further defacement of Caligula's coins will be seen, usually a cut or punch mark defacing the portrait (cf. A. Banti and L. Simonetta, Corpus Nummorum Romanorum. Vol. XIII, pg. 14, 109/3). Most common, however, was the simpie removal of the initial C (for Caius) in the legend. The paucity of Caligula's coins in relation to coins of other members of the Julio-Claudian gens can be directly traced to the damnatio memoriae, as many of Caligula's coins were destroyed.

($1500) This monumental triumphal arch was erected by Nero to commemorate Roman military campaigns against the Parthians in Mesopotamia and Armenia. Although not particularly successful in a military sense, with Paetus losing almost his entire army at Randeia in Armenia, the war did end with a peace treaty favorable to Rome that was upheld for nearly fifty years. This coin type is vitally important for architectural historians, for the arch zvas dismantled after Nero's ignominious end in 68 AD, and is only known through its depiction on the coins. This particular example allows a careful study of the decorative details of the monument.

It ivas usual practice for the Emperor to be elected into all the chief priestly colleges, but Vitellius placed special importance on this college because he had held it as a private citizen.

With the weight reduction of the precious metal coinages under Nero, all of the earlier coinages would eventually be consigned to the melting pot. Under Vespasian, many of the time-honored types were reissued in an effort to associate himself in the popular imagination with the Republic and the prestige attached to the Julio-Claudian line. The importance of this association becomes apparent when considering tlwt Vespasian had left no doubt about his intenHon of founding a new dynasty. This particular reverse type zvas originally employed on coins of Augustus, and shows the laurel trees that were planted outside of his home to represent his victory over Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. The significance of its use under Vespasian zvas interestingly explained in an important article by Laffranchi (cf. L. Laffranchi, "Un centenario numismatico nell' antichità," R. It. 1911, pp. 427ff). He suggests that the year 70 AD sazu the centennial of the Empire as calculated from Actium, and ifzue calculate from 27 BC zvhen Augustus became emperor, zve arrive at the year this type ζ vas nünted, 74 AD.

($1000) Under Trajan and Hadrian several series of bronze quadrantes were struck in the name of the imperial mines in Noricum, Dalmatia, Pannonia and Moesia (Dardania). These operations supplied metal for the mint at Rome, and perhaps were the sites of workshops to produce coinage for local circulation or as donatives. Others theorize that these pieces were struck at Rome itself, and served some unidentified function, much as the contemporary "nome" coinage struck at Alexandria in Egypt. Whatever the circumstances, these pieces saw limited use, and, except for one rare type struck by Marcus Aurelius, were not issued at any other period. This particular type is the rarest of all the coinage of the mines, and is listed by Cohen in two sizes, i.e., "P.B." and "P.B.Q."

The cult of his sun god was represented by a sacred stone, and in 219 when he moved from Emisa to Rome, he took the stone, probably a meteorite, with him. During his reign, Elagabalus devoted his efforts to the promotion of his cult god, building a lavish temple to house the stone. The reverse of this coin shows the stone on its annual procession through the streets of Rome.

Burden, M.D., "Roman emperor ruled by his strength, size," The Celator, vol. 9, no. 7, July 1995, pg. 14), his huge size and "lantern jaw" suggestive of the possibility that Maximinus suffered from excessive human growth hormone. His biographer in the Historia Augusta claimed that he was 8 ft. 6 in. tall, so strong that he could wrestle and defeat sixteen of the strongest legionaries and pull a laiden cart unaided, and that his thumb was of such thickness tlwt he could wear his ivife's bracelet on it like a ring.

The extreme thickness of the flan combined with the fact that this reverse type and legend combination is unpublished for Gallienus would suggest that this coin is not an official product of the Roman government, but rather an ancient counterfeit. The style, however, is comparable to anything the mint produced at this time.

The reverse type with the billowing style lion's skin and blundered lettering is more reminiscent of Bastien's "Atelier II" than the sestertii he attributed to Cologne. However; the obverse style on this sestertius is so far removed from that of the unidentified mint that attribution in this catalogue is tentatively left to Cologne.

Very Rare. ($1000) Vabalathus was the son of Zenobia and Odenathus, and on the death of Ins father in 267 AD, he and Zenobia became joint rulers of Palmyra. Neither Gallienus nor Claudius Cothicus granted him the titles granted to his father, though neither emperor could challenge the power of Palmyra. In 270, upon Aurelian's accession, Vabalathus was granted the same titles as his father, and coins were struck in the joint names of Aurelian and Vabalathus. In 271, Vabalathus assumed the title of Augustus, an act of treason, and Aurelian soon marched against this usurper. Zenobia and Vabalathus were both captured and paraded through the streets of Rome. This very rare coin was struck at Antioch, after Vabalathus had declared himself Augustus and had severed relations with Aurelian.

Van Heesch Ims provided the latest chronology for the anonymous civic bronzes of the 4th century. An active campaign of persecution against local Christians, abetted by Maximinus, reached its height in Nicomedia, Antioch and Alexandria. Churches were closed, property was seized from the Christians and they were expelled from many cities. The three major mint cities struck a series of small bronzes honoring the old Greco-Roman gods, Jupiter, Apollo, Tyche and Sarapis among them. The persecutions subsided the following year, possibly as a result of concerns expressed by Constantine and Licinius, the western emperors.

The identification of the prototype is based on bust type, the S in the left field of reverse along with the mint mark, and most importantly the fact that the inscription on the standard seems to copy VOT/X as opposed to VOT/XX. A Roman issue of the same type is included for comparison.

Very Rare and i m p o r t a n t . ($2000) The most important secular controversy of the late Roman and early Byzantine age involved loyalties to the two racing factions - the 'Blues' (Veneto) and the 'Greens' (Prasino). This rivalry led to shocking bloodshed on many occasions as the patrons of each faction clashed. Most engagements occurred in the major cities, such as Rome, Antioch and Constantinople. Although originating with chariot races, the factions had strong ties to mainstream society, and were active in garnering political favor, securing the best jobs and monopolizing industries. Thus their rivalries led well beyond the Circus Maximus in Rome and the Hippodrome in Constantinople. This contorniate is a great rarity and is of considerable importance for its mention of the Green faction, which is further represented in the design by the victorius charioteer Eustorgius, who is also specifically named in the inscription.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. In November of 461, Libius Severus was proclaimed emperor by Ricimer at Ravenna, and other than the fact that he was a native of Lucania, nothing else of this emperor is known. He ruled for four years and urns little more than a puppet of Ricimer, as evidenced by some of his nummi such as this one with Ricimer's monogram as the reverse type. Severus died in 465, presumably of natural causes, quite a remarkable achievement during the final 30 years of the Western Roman empire.

Struck o n a crudely cast flan. Rare and unpublished. ($500) A completely unknown Visigothic bronze, both in type and size. The general form is similar to the Ispalis small bronzes with crude head and SP, but ST 8(A) 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.

The Vandals, having been expelled from Europe by the Visigoths, moved to north Africa in 429. They established a kingdom there in 435 by treaty with Valentinian III. In 439 they captured Carthage and made it their capital. While silver was struck using pseudo-imperial types, the city magistrates were allowed to strike copper using designs of their oion choosing.

Their reknoivn as soldiers and generals brought them to high positions in the army, and some even to the purple. Armenian troops played a vital role in Maurice's campaigns against the Persians, which resulted in Khusru II taking the Sasanian throne with Byzantine assistance. IfPhocas had not murdered Maurice in 602, a prolonged peace settlement might have ensued. As it was, Heraclius faced the greatest Persian threat of all in 618, and the Armenian generals on his staff were instrumental in turning back the invaders, leading to the most decisive victory in the long Roman-Persian conflict. Unfortunately both sides were exhausted by the conflict, and neither could resist the Islamic crusading armies out of Arabia.

Unfortunately for the Armenians, Byzantine security concerns resulted in increasing annexations of their territory, leading the nobility to resettle in Cilicia, where the Taurus mountains afforded them some protection.

By the time Constantine succeeded his brother John VIII on the throne, the Byzantine Empire consisted of a small parcel of land in Morea and the city of Constantinople. When the Ottoman sultan Melimed IIfinally decided to eliminate what had become a minor nuisance to the Turks, the final result ivas inevitable. Constantinople was taken by siege, and the last emperor died fighting at the battlements, rejecting the pleas of his courtiers to flee to safety. His heroic and gruesome death (his body was so mutilated tlmt it was only identifiable by his clothing) led to a popular mythology very similar to that surrounding other medieval heros such as Charlemagne; Constantine had never died and luould return at some future time to free Greece from her conquerors. The sparse miserable examples of the final coinage of Constantinople were probably struck in the final months of the city's existence as payment to the handfui of soldiers and dedicated foreign mercenaries that held the walls to the end against overwhelming odds.

Base white metal copies of Roman denarii from the Severan period are regularly found along the Empire's eastern frontier and are known as "limes" issues (after the Latin for "border"). They are invariably cast and are easily distiliguishable from official issues, and so it may well be that they were not made with the intent to deceive but rather were acceptable in local trade. This mold, reportedly found in the province of Dacia, was evidently used for the production of these "limes" issues.

One of the most fearsome auxiliary units of the Roman army was the corps of slingers. These "gunners" of antiquity, often from Crete, would range along the sidelines of a battle and subject the enemy to a deadly hail of lead bullets. Often the lead bolts used would be marked with a symbol marking the unit the stinger belonged to, or sometimes a short phrase, something as simple as "take that". Of course, the most historically interesting pieces can be related to a specific war or even a known battle. The bolts here offered belonged to units fighting for Pompey the Great during his contest with Caesar, and are marked with his name. These pieces are probably from the site of the battle ofMunda in Spain, where the sons of Pompey fought a last ditch effort against the Caesareans in 45 BC.
