($17,500) Toward the close of the sixth century BC and in the early decades of the fifth, the tribes of this remote region produced a silver coinage of truly exceptional character. Comprising denominations larger than those being struck by any other mint at the time, with the sole exception of Abdera in Thrace, these 'medallic' pieces are probably to be associated with the payment of tribute to the Persians during their occupation of the Thracian coast. This theory is corroborated by the presence of large numbers of these pieces in hoards found within the territories of the Achaemenid Empire where they are far more plentiful than in their region of origin. The ability of the tribes to pay tribute in coins of such large denominations (oktadrachms and even dodekadrachms) is evidence of the availability of a plentiful supply of silver ore, much of it probably emanating from the district around Mount Pangaeus.

Little is known of the history and interrelationship of the tribal groups of the Thraco-Macedonian region. The Bisalti seem to have occupied territory in easterri Chalkidice along the west bank of the lower Strymon. Their octadrachms depict a young male figure walking in the background beside his horse.

Although he is sometimes identified as Ares, god of war, Krnay ( A C G C pg.

140) points out that "his pursuit seems to be hunting rather than ivar". A similar type was later employed for the regal coinage of Alexander 1 of Macedon (circa 498-454 BC) who simply added his name symmetrically spaced around the incuse square on the reverse.

The "mill-sail" designation for the reverse type of this archaic Aeginetan stater (and other early incuse punch designs) comes from the sail pattern of π windmill. The sails were made from cloth at first and later, especially on the American plains, they were made from galvanized tin but still retained the same shape and design as their European ancestors.

The mint of Pergamon was established by Lysimachos. After Lysimachos' defeat at the Battle of Corupedion in 281 BC, this mint issued a small, but important series of tetradrachms under Seleukos I featuring a bridled horse on the obverse and an eleplwnt on the reverse. Polloiving Seleukos' assassination in 280 BC, Pergamon, under Philetairos, issued a large series of Alexandrine tetradrachms in the name of both Alexander and Seleukos.

No ancient text tells us that Damascus was part of the territory that Mark Antony gave to Cleopatra, though her portrait on this city's coinage makes this almost certainly true. This large portrait coin was struck only in the year 37/36 BC, as it is dated to the 276th year of the Seleukid Era. One other portrait coin was struck for Cleopatra at Damascus, a piece roughly half the size which also was struck only in a single year. This unusual issue also has the distinction of being the first coinage struck at Damascus during this era of history. In the seven decades which followed, Damascus struck coins only on six other occasions. Late in the reign of Tiberius the city fell into the hands of the Nabataeans, who struck their own coins there until a new Roman coinage was inaugurated at Damascus late in the reign of Nero.

The 'lion staters' of Babylon were an important local component of Alexander the Great's eastern coinage. Based on a Cilician prototype, they were introduced by Alexander and survived for nearly half a century, well into the 280's under Seleukos I. It is clear that these 'lion staters' were struck at several mints, the candidates being Babylon, Susa, Ekbatana and Seleukeia on the Tigris.

Early issues belong to the Babylonian satrapies ofMazaeus (331-328) and his successor, Mazakes. The later issues with a pentagram or anchor above the lion ivere struck under Seleukos, who was satrap of Babylon from 321-317/6 and from 312 onward. Most scholars favor the second satrapy for Seleukos' lion staters. The denomination is usually described as a stater or tetradrachm, but most likely is a two-shekel of the Babylonian standard of ca. 8.4 grams.

Historically, the earliest pieces are linked with the 5-shekel and 2-shekel 'Poros' coinages of Alexander.

The style is so close to the official product that it could have passed unnoticed, although the weight would have revealed the deception. The person who added the loop obviously knew it was bronze as the loop is bronze. However, it does not seem to be a jeweler's cast creation. It appears to be struck as the reverse is concave, more so tlwn the average dinar, and the obverse slightly convex.

($200) In the most common version of Skylla's myth, she was the daughter ofPhorkys and Hekate and when Poseidon made advances toward her, Amphitrite became jealous and threw magic herbs into Skylla's bathing place. The herbs transformed Skylla into a terrifying monster; her body encircled ivith a ring of dogs' heads. Skylla's home became a cave in the straits ofMessana betiueen Sicily and Italy. Her companion was Charybdis, the daughter of Poseidon and Gaia, a voracious ally whom Zeus had cast into the sea with his thunderbolt. Three times a day Charybdis "drew in mountains of water and spewed them out again" while Skylla hurled rocks at the passing ships. Hence Skylla and Charybdis have become representative of the natural terrors faced by ancient mariners as they sailed through the straits ofMessana.

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 Jewish priest-kings, the Hasmoneans. See David Hendin's G u i d e to Biblical C o i n s (3rd Edition) pp. 266-268 for more on this fascinating Roman general.

Persephone, the daughter of Demeter — goddess of the cornfield, had the fate of Hades' love. Hades fell in love with Persephone and asked Zeus for permission to marry her. Zeus feared to offend his eldest brother by a downright refusal, but knew also that Demeter would not forgive him if Persephone were committed to the underzuorld. Zeus "therefore answered politically that he could neither give nor withhold his consent."

This emboldened Hades to abduct Persephone, as she was picking floivers in a meadow, and carry her atuay in his horse-drawn chariot to the underworld as depicted on this coin type.

This remarkable issue of triple-denarii from Asia, the first for about a decade, commemorates the marriage of the elder Triumvir with his principal colleague's sister. It celebrates Antony's divine status as the 'New Dionysus,' an honor which had been bestowed on him at the time of his arrival in Ephesus in 41 BC. Although Octavia is not named on either variety of this coinage, there can be no doubt over the identification of the portrait given the firm chronology of the issue. Here her effigy appears atop the cista mystica, the special basket which served as a container for the sacred snakes used in the ceremonies for initiates into the cult of Dionysus.

Sydenham concludes Huit this issue appears to be of 'military' style, and was possibly struck in Cisalpine Caul. Crawford refutes Sydenham's theory and favors an eastern minting, probably at Antony's headquarters at Ephesus. The reverse of this aureus celebrates the consulship in 41 BC of Lucius Antony, Mark Antony's brother. Fortuna and the stork (a symbol of good luck) heralds an auspicious tenure of office.

This coin belongs in the same series sometimes referred to as 'Triumphal Coinage,' the dupondii of which show Victory crowning the head of Augustus on the obverse and relate to Tiberius' triumph of 7 BC. Giard actually refers to them as medallions (BN pg. 119ff), but Sutherland questions this theory (RIC I pg. 75, One of the three moneyers at this time, and the one whose name appears on the reverse of this coin, was Marcus Salvius Otho, the maternal uncle of the future emperor Otho.

($400) In a subplot of the myth of the rape of the Sabine women, Tarpeia was a Vestal Virgin that betrayed the city of Rome to the Sabines lohen they were attempting to rescue their wives and daughters. The price for her betrayal was what the Sabine soldiers wore on their left arms, meaning their gold bracelets. The Sabines tvere offended by Tarpeia's greed and treason, and took her price literally. She met her death under the crushing weight of the soldiers' shields.

Marcus Agrippa was Augustus' chosen heir, and in 17 BC Augustus adopted Agrippa to insure a smooth succession. Agrippas prominence in political affairs was emphasized in 13 BC, when two of the three moneyers included Agrippa on their coin types. Succession was not to be though, as Agrippa died the following year.

Claudius was the first emperor to employ Constantia as a main coin type. The , legend CONSTANTIAE AVGVSTAE, to the Constancy of Augustus,' was of personal significance to Claudius and may have referred to his late mother, Antonia, as a symbol of constancy.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. According to Kraay's study in which he analyzes site finds, these countermarks were applied in Lower Germany and Holland to the coinage of Claudius, perhaps in an effort to validate older or obsolete coinage when supplies were short in the frontier provinces. Although the chronology and purpose of these countermarks is far from certain, it seems that they may have been stamped as late as the reign of Vespasian.

Sestertii and dupondii in the name of Agrippina Junior have been found localized in the Balkan region, and were most likely struck at a local mint servicing the legions guarding the border. The lack of reverse legends on both the ses tertius and dupondius, specifically the S C, would be in keeping with a provincial issue not issued under the nominal authority of the Roman Senate.

He was also invoked to grant the successful beginning of an enterprise. According to tradition, King Numa built the first temple of Janus. The term 'ianus' was also used for a symbolic gateway, probably used in ceremonies to ensure tluit a military campaign got off to a good start. The structure on this coin, located in the Forum, luas such a gateway. It was connected to side ivalls but had no roof. The gates were always open whenever the Romans were at war. On this coin the gates are shut, showing tlwt the entire Roman world was at peace. According to Livy, this was such a rare occurrence that it had only happened three times between the reigns of Numa and Augustus!

Nero was firmly under the domination of his mother for the first five years of his principate and her portrait appears frequently on the coinage issued early in his reign. Like a good son, this coin was issued to commemorate his recently deified adopted-father, Claudius. His mother did not fare as well, hozuever, as when he grew tired of her loathsome meddling, he had her murdered.

The Macellum Magnum was Nero's great provision market probably dating from 59 AD. This magnificent structure, originally occupying the middle of a square lined with porticoes and shops, ivas located on the Caelian Hill. It survived in its original state until the late 4th century when its dilapidated condition necessitated a major reconstruction. During the turbulent 5th century the building again fell into partial ruin and in the latter part of the century it was transformed under Pope Simplicius (468-482) into the church of St. Stefano Rotondo.

The countermarks applied to this coin appear to be related to the TALBA and ΓAL.KAI countermarks applied at Perinthus during Galba's reign, mostly to coins of Nero that defaced the portrait of that tyrant. The coin was purportedly found in the Balkans and, given the fact that the countermarks are apparently unpublished, certainly merits further study.

Clodius Macer was the propraetor in Africa and initially was little more than a pirate, sweeping the north African coast. Macer had hoped to increase his power by cutting into the grain supplies of Rome. By April of 68, Macer had decided not to support Galba, and in June when Nero died, Macer began striking coins in his own name. All of Macer's coins are of rather crude style, an indication of the lack of skilled die engravers and the haste at which they were produced. By October, Galba had solidified his power in Rome and ordered Macer's execution. All of Macer's coins are extremely rare, withfeioer than 85 coins of all types known, of ivhich fewer than 20 are portrait types.

Sutherland notes tlwt "Kraay, in his unpublished MS, pointed out acutely that the type of Victory affixing shield to palm-tree must be regarded as a direct reference to the Jewish war (the palm-tree became one standard symbol of Judaea), in ivhich Vespasian's successes were to be accounted as being gained under the imperial auspices of Vitellius" (RIC I pg. 266, note 2).

The emperor Vespasian was renowned for his doion-to-earth sense of humor and could not resist a final joke on his death-bed: according to Seutonius, he declared "Dear me! I must be turning into a god" (Seut., Div. Vesp. 23). This denarius was issued by Titus after the deification of his late father and commemorates the victories achieved in Judaea a decade before.

Most coins struck in Titus' name in 71 and 72 relate to his elevation as well as to his victories in the Jewish War. Although the significance of this reverse type is uncertain, it is likely related to Titus' other coinages from this period that celebrate his elevation to power and his successful completion of the suppression of the revolt in Judaea.

Since the obverse legend is also entirely new to us for any of Titus' coinage, what appears at first glance to be a mule pairing an unknown obverse legend with a reverse of Vespasian, while still possible, is in all likelihood an unpublished type.

The only child of Titus, Julia was born about 65 AD and ivas granted the title of Augusta during her father's short reign (79-81 AD). After Titus' death, Julia's husband, her cousin Flavius Sabinus, served as Domitians colleague in the consulship for 82 AD, but two years later he loas executed on the emperor's orders. Thereafter, the widowed Julia, still only nineteen, began living with her uncle Domitian as his mistress. On her early death in 91 she was deified and Domitian issued sestertii commemorating "Diva Julia Augusta."

Although contemporary writers depict Domitian as a cruel tyrant, which indeed he could be, his military actions in Germany and Dacia can be justified as an effort to shorten Rome's frontier with the barbarian tribes to the East.

However, internal problems such as the revolt of Saturninus and dissatisfaction amongst the Roman aristocracy precluded his successful completion of his militaristic ambitions and coinage such as this piece which propagandizes the conquest of Germania suggests a desire more than any reality.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. Under Trajan and Hadrian several series of bronze quadrantes were struck in the name of the imperial mines in Noricum, Dalmatia, Parmonia and Moesia (Dardania). These operations supplied metal for the mint at Rome, and perluips were the sites of workshops to produce coinage for local circulation or as donafives. 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 during any other period.

As one might expect, the final defeat in 106 of the Dacians under king Decebalus played heavily as a propagandistic motif on Trajan's coinage of 107.

($2000) A niece of the Emperor Trajan, Salonia Matidia luas the daughter ofC. Salonius Matidius Patruinus (a senator from Vicetia) and the emperor's sister Ulpia Marciana. Matidia was twice married and was the mother of two daughters, Matidia and Sabina, the latter being the wife of the future emperor Hadrian.

Trajan had a great affection for his niece and she often accompanied him on his travels. Following the death of her mother in 112 AD, Matidia took her place as Augusta and it was on this occasion tluit a series of coins was struck in the names of all three Trajanic empresses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Plotina, Marciana and Matidia.

Hadrian, like his predecessor, appears to have held Matidia in the very highest regard. On her death in 119 AD Hadrian personally pronounced the funeral oration, erected a temple in Rome to his mother-in-law's memory, and issued a coinage in precious metal in honor of the new imperial deity.

($400) This rare mine issue, bearing the helmeted bust and name of the goddess Roma on the obverse, is anonymous, though the type is generally attributed to the reign of Hadrian. The region of mining activity named ojj the reverse is Dardania, a district of Moesia Superior to the north of the Roman colonia of Scupi. Mattingly (in BMCRE p. cix, note 1) mentions that "Trajan's 'Dardanici' coins belong to the silver mines of Kopaonik and Pristina in Serbia and old Serbia." The type of a female figure holding ears of barley may hold some clue to the purpose of the issue.

($1000) The reverse design commemorates the celebration of games that were held with the return of the emperor to Rome in 202. Septimius was away from the city from 197-202, and his return was a momentous occasion. During the festivals that followed, a ship with collapsible sides was constructed in the arena. When the sides were lowered, a plethora of rare and interesting animals scattered forth to be butchered for the amusement of the spectators.

Following the assassination of Pertinax in 193 AD, the Governor of Britain, Decimus Clodius Albinus, allied himself with Septimius Severus and was given the title of Caesar. This gave Severus time to deal with Pescennius Niger luhom he defeated in 195 BC, at which point Albinus was declared a public enemy. Albinus was defeated at Lugdunum in 197 AD. 140

This is the only denarius issued in commemoration of Caracalla's deification, and is extremely rare. In RIC, Mattingly catalogued the issue under Severus Alexander's reign, noting that "the definite allusion to Alexander [the Great] in the title MAGNO given to Caracalla rather points to the time of Severus Alexander" (RIC IV pg. 128). However, by 1950 when he had completed the catalogue of the British Museum Collection, Mattingly instead assigned the issue to the reign of Elagabalus. He concluded that although Macrinus may luve ordered the issue in an attempt to please the troops with whom Caracalla zvas popular, the unpopularity of the deceased emperor in the capital and the fact tlwt the style is Roman instead of eastern (as one would expect considering Macrinus' long sojourn in the East) makes this hypothesis untenable, and thus placed the issue during the early part of the reign of Elagabalus (see BMCRE V pg. ccxiv f f ) .

The emperor Gallienus was a renowned patron of the arts, and despite the crudeness of most coins Iwmmered out during this chaotic era, his portraits are quite different than those of the typical military-emperor of the third century.

In Gallienus' image we do not find a crew-cut general, but an intellectual. Both he and his wife were patrons of the philosopher Plotinus, and were deeply involved in artistic, literary, and intellectual movements of the day. Much like Nero two centuries before, Gallienus' penchant for art is reflected in his coinage. The mint of Alexandria produced its finest work of the third century under Gallienus, and it is on the occasional sestertius from Rome tlwt this emperor's artistic bent is revealed. This specimen is a perfect reflection of Gallienus' penchant for the neo-classical trend in sculpture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an artistic revolution ivhich was ignored by his predecessors and abandoned by his immediate successors. Only the portraits of Tacitus, and perhaps Carinus can remotely compare in this respect. Although third century coin portraits are routinely of concise and competent execution, very few qualify as good art in the manner of this sestertius.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. David Yonge presents a convincing argument based on flan manufacture, portrait style and a comparative study of mid-third century Roman monetary denominations for assigning an approximate date for this issue to end of the reign of Gallienus, perhaps in anticipation of his entry into Rome after his vietories over the Herulians and Goths at Naissus.

($200) The Eastern legions were in disorder after the capture of Valerian by the Persians in 260 AD. To contend with the victorious Persians and to prevent them from over-running the Eastern provinces, the sons of one of Valerian's generals, Macrianus and Quietus, were elevated to the throne. This political maneuver was a success as the Roman legions rallied and defeated the Persian army at Corcyra, forcing the Persian king to retreat to the Euphrates. Thus after having secured the situation in the East, in 261 Macrianus and his father crossed the Bosporus into Europe, challenging the rule of the legitimate emperor Gallienus. During the ensuing battle, they were utterly defeated and slain

by Gallienus' general Aureolus, and shortly thereafter, Quietus was captured and killed at Emesa by the Palmyrene king Odenathus.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. Maxentius, son of Diocletian's co-emperor Maximian, was never anything more tlwn a usurper who cleverly exploited the confused situation following the breakdown in the tetrarchy system occasioned by the death of Constantius I in 306 AD. His popularity with the people of Rome, and in particular the praetorian guard, u>as based on the bitterness which they felt over the capital's diminished status since the establishment of the tetrarchy system of government. As Maxentius was posing as the champion of the old privileges and traditions of the capital, it is scarcely surprising that specific references to the city of Rome are offrequent occurrence on his coinage, such as seen here with the depiction of the Dioscuri, between which is the she-wolf suckling the legendary founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus, after they had been left to die by their uncle Amulius. But the old order was gradually dying, for just as the city on the Tiber was losing its political and strategic importance, so the gods of Greece and Rome were about to be eclipsed by a new state religion called Christianity.

($250) The true meaning of this reverse type has never been fully deciphered, the latest theory being tint the X-sluiped pattern represents Constantine's vision before the battle of the Milvian bridge. This does not seem likely since the type is known on coins of Licinius, who was not a Christian, and perhaps more importantly, was Constantine's enemy.

No longer enjoying the considerable prestige it had merited as Diocletian's principal residence during the First Tetrarchy, Nicomedia ζvas rejected by Constantine as his imperial residence. He opted instead for the better location of Constantinople. Dedicated in 330, it was destined to become the New Rome for the remaining thousand year existence of the Eastern Roman Empire. This impressive medallion was part of a donative issue struck to commemorate some special entry into the city of Nicomedia.

He tried to develop an administrative apparatus for these cults comparable to the organization that the Christian Church had achieved, but was largely unsuccessful. He deprived the Church of financial privileges, and substantially subsidized other cults.

Although for the most part a very conscientious emperor, in the eyes of posterity, one of the most negative aspects of his reign (which was even criticized by one of his most ardent admirers, Ammianus Marcellinus) was that he excluded Christians from any teaching posts. Julian died while on campaign against the Persians and his religious policies did not outlast his short reign.

A Gold Solidus of Magnus Maximus

Procopius, a relative of Julian II as 味 oeil as one of his senior military cornmanders, set himself up as rival Augustus to Valens at Constantinople in 365 AD. Although he enjoyed zoidespread support, Procopius' German generals deserted his cause during the battle against Valen's forces at Nacolea in Phrygia.

Procopius attempted to flee but zoas captured and executed. The small object at the feet of the emperor on the reverse has never been satisfactorily explained. It is most often represented with a round top set upon a columnar base, and resembles the Palladium found on earlier Roman coins. The Palladium zoas the statue of Athena taken by Aeneas from the collapse of Troy and brought to Italy, and the Romans regarded it as one of the most important symbols of divine favor protecting the city and its empire. Also seen on the reverse of this coin is the Chi-rho, the symbol of the new religion taking hold across the empire, and the radiate sun on the standard, symbol of the cult of Sol that spread from the East beginning in the second century AD. In these Procopius has neatly captured all the facets comprising Roman public religion.

In 383 AD, Magnus Maximus, the commander of the legions in Britain, was hailed Augustus by his soldiers who were dissatisfied with Cratian's leadership. Maximus crossed the Channel and marched to Lutetia to encounter the emperor, but before the battle, Gratian's troops deserted and he zoas subsequently slain by Andragathius, Maximus' magister equitum (cavalry commander). Neither Theodosius I in the East, who was preoccupied icith events on the eastern frontier, nor Valentenian II in Italy, who was simply too weak militarily, could exact vengeance for Gratian's murder. While offering conciliatory gestures to his imperial colleagues, Maximus, over the next four years, extended his territorial possessions to the German frontier and Spain. In 387, Maximus promoted his infant son Flavius Victor to be his fellow Augustus. In the summer ofthat year, having left Victor behind in Gaul, Maximus advanced unopposed into the territory of Valentinian II. Valentinian fled to Theodosius, and in the follozoing year Theodosius counterattacked. Maximus, zvho had depended upon the desertion of Theodosius' legions (which did not occur in the great numbers expected), zvas defeated in tzoo major campaigns, the first near Siscia and then decisively at Poetovio. No mercy was shown the usurper or his son, both being executed immediately upon capture.

Jovinus luas a Gallo-Roman noble who, ivith the support of Burgundians, Alemanni and Franks, usurped power in Gaul during the autumn of 411.

Virtually nothing is known of Jovinus' short reign, although it is apparent that he enjoyed substantial support as he controlled the three mints of Lugdunum, Treveri and Arelate. In 412, he proclaimed his brother Sebastian co-emperor, but before the end of the following year, they were both dead as a result of the treachery of the goth Athulfus.

The identification of Jerusalem as the mint was recently made by S. Bendall and M. F. Hendy, and although this is far from certain, it seems likely from the available evidence. The mint only operated sporadically, first near the end of the reign of Phocas and then briefly under Heraclius at the beginning of his reign.

It was reopened in 613-614 in connection with the invasion of the east by the Persians, but then was captured when the city fell to the Sasanids in 614.

D O C III 2b; SB 1627. EF. ($1500) Leo, son of Bardns, was of certain Armenian extraction, and was commander of Byzantine forces in Armenia when the rout ofMicluiel I at Versinikia led to his acclamation as emperor. The desertion of troops loyal to Leo lead to Michael's defeat by the Bulgarians. Leo's reign was characterized not by military activity, but by religious controversy brought on by his vehement Iconoclastic views.

His opponents committed the ultimate sacrilegious act of assassinating him in Hagia Sophia on Christmas Day, 820. His godson Theophilus would avenge his murder after his accession in 829, even though the conspirators had been assodates of his father Michael II.

($1500) The reign of Constantine IX marked the beginning of a dramatic decline in the power and international prestige of the Byzantine Empire. Although he presided over a brilliant court and intellectual activity flourished in the capital, the imperial treasury was being dissipated at an alarming rate and little attention ivas paid to the condition of the imperial army. Under his rule the purity of the gold coinage had been maintained at a level of about 18-20 carats and there were four principal varieties of the histamenon. This specimen belongs to the final (and rarest) issue which is characterized by the large stars in reverse field. These are generally interpreted as a reference to the supernova which appeared in the constellation Taurus on 4 July 1054, an immense explosion which signaled the birth of the Crab Nebula. Such an awesome event, coinciding as it did with the schism between the Churches of Rome and Constantinople, could certainly Iwve been deemed worthy of commemoration on the coinage.

Toned VF, obverse slightly double-struck. ($350) This military type is ill-suited for the umuarlike Constantine, but the legend "O Lady, protect the pious Monomachos" certainly reflects the atmosphere of crisis during his reign, during which Constantine liad to face several rebellions.

The miliaresion is found in tivo sizes. This is the larger of the tzvo. A hoard found at Oxarve in Sweden consisted of 100 pieces, evenly divided between the two types. Since contemporary hoards of gold show similar divisions between the histamenon and tetarteron (meaning that payments were acceptable in both types as long as the percentages were equal), there must also have been a reeognized difference between the two silver types.

N e a r EF for type. ($250) Theodore, the Byzantine governor of Lydia, twice grasped for imperial power.

The first instance zvas during the chaotic reign of Isaac II, who had to contend with restive Bidgarians, invading Crusaders and rebels such as Theodore and Isaac Comnenus on Cyprus. Theodore eventually acknowledged Isaac II as emperor, but when Constantinople fell to the Fourth Crusade in 1204, he again declared himself emperor. Theodore I Lascaris of the successor state ofNicaea removed the usurper the folloiuing year. At times thought to be a Bulgarian type, enough of Theodore's coins have now been found in Asia Minor to confirm him as the issuer.

Gregory Nazianzen (329-389) was the son of St. Gregory Nazianzen the Elder and friend of St. Basil. Born at Arianzos in Cappadocia, he read law in Athens before joining his friend in monastic solitude in Pontus. He was ordained priest in 361, then bishop of the small town ofSasima in 372. He refused to accept the latter position, opting instead to act as coadjutor to his father who was bishop of Nazianzos and whom he had previously converted to orthodoxy from a heretical sect of Christianity. Under Theodosius the Great in 380, he became bishop of Constantinople, but remained only a month before retiring. He died at Arianzos in 390. The Constantine whose seal this is is not known.

COINAGE OF THE GRANDMASTERS OF THE ORDER OF ST. JOHN ON RHODES

A Nice Selection of Crusader Coinage

This order was founded in Jerusalem during the first Crusade. Its original function was to operate a hospice for pilgrims travelling to the Holy Land.

Over time it became increasingly militant and took an active part in the crusades against the Moslems. When the Christians lost Jerusalem in 1187, it moved to Acre in Palestine. The order took the island of Rhodes in 1310, which it held until 1523. During this period it was a military and economic power in the region.

The folloiving group of coins is unusually ivell struck, most having clear designs and readable legends. Every 14th Century Grandmaster (except the first) is included here. They represent an opportunity to acquire aesthetically pleasing examples of this important Crusader series.

1648. C o m m u n e of Acre. 1231-1243. A R Denier (0.95 gm). Patriarchal cross w i t h a l p h a a n d o m e g a in l o w e r c o r n e r s / C r o s s pattĂŠe. Metcalf, Ash. pg. 19; C C S p g . 82, 52. VF. Very rare, especially in this c o n d i t i o n . ($300) The patriarchal cross with alpha and omega appears as the reverse type on the lead seals of the bishops of Acre, and thus indicates a direct connection between these anonymous coins and the city of Acre.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. This unusual type is described in detail by E. Beckenbauer in Gitta Kastner Auktion 3 (22-23 May 1973). The most likely explanation for the type is that this is an emergency issue from Smyrna, a Hospitaller stronghold, while it wa s under siege by Tamerlane's army in 1402-1403. The image of the Grandmaster grasping the cross, the reverse legend ("Sacred Heart, help me") and the relatively crude style and fabric indicate that all was not well for the Order.

Jungheit was the earliest place in Europe to issue a series of Anno Domini dated coinage. As the supplement to Frey shows, there are isolated instances of earlier AD dated coins, some ofivhich Frey himself was aware. However, he chose this to be the starting place for AD coinage in his book. The 1978 supplement reveals that this is the third oldest AD dated issue currently extant ivith sixteen known examples.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. In 1296 Boniface issued a Bull forbidding the lay powers to tax the clergy.

Philip, always short of money to finance his tears, then forbade the export of gold and silver, thus depriving Boniface of income from his French clergy. In 1297 Boniface gave up and issued other Bulls tlwt luere a victory for Philip. The moral and temporal authority of the Pope was now considerably iveakened.

Boniface died in 1303 and was succeeded by Benedict XI, whose short pontificate was spent trying to restore good relations with the Church. In 1305, the Archbishop of Bordeaux ivas elected Pope Clement V. He moved the seat of the Papacy to Avignon in 1309, never having set foot in Rome.

Louis II de Mâle succeeded his father, Louis of Nevers, who died at the battle of Crecy in 1346. He, unlike his father, was a puppet of the French and needed their help to control his subjects. If the various local guilds had united against him, they might have ousted him. Philip Van Arteveld of Ghent did take Brouges in 1382 and zvas made Ruward of Flanders, but was slain by the French at Roosebeke in November of 1382. Louis was the last of the Counts of Flanders.When he died in 1384 his daughter Margaret's husband succeeded him. He was Philip the Bold of Burgundy and their history became part of the Burgundian dynasty of France.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. These rings may have served monetary as well as ornamental purposes. Prior to the use of regular round struck or cast coinage, the Celts employed items of various shapes and metals for trade. See lots 2102-2104 for examples of the fc. 'ring money' used by the continental Celts. Although not conclusively identified as an early form of money, these are found in hoards and do bear some resemblance to other Celtic objects accepted as "proto-money", i.e. the bronze and potin wheels.

The Kentish A series appears to be the first gold coinage struck in Britain, and was probably minted to hire mercenaries to defend against attacks by the Suessiones under their King Diviciacus. The distinguishing features between Kentish A and Gallo-Belgic C are more decorative features, such as the rosette around the 'coffee-bean,' ivhich do not appear on the continental issues. Of the twenty-five known specimens of Kentish A, ten are in museums.

This coin is a witness to contemporary events. The mint name on the reverse of this coin has been re-engraved from WIN to WIL. In their article, "The emergency mint of Wilton in 1180" (BNJ XXXV, pp. 116-19), J.D. Brand and F.E. Jones proposed a most interesting explanation. Rodbert was a moneyer at Winchester. During the night of St. Swithin's Eve (Jidy lst-2nd) 1180, the mint at Winchester caught fire and burned, taking much of the town with it.

As there ivas an urgent need for the new short cross coinage, Wilton, an inactive mint less than 30 miles away, was pressed into service. Rodbert would have taken his dies with him and used them there while the Winchester mint was being rebuilt. When Winchester reopened (a period Brand and Jones estimated to be a few weeks to a few months), the moneyers returned and Wilton ivas closed.
