The Artaxiads of Armenia The Artaxiad Kingdom of Aimenia was founded by one Artaxias (or Artashes), the son of Zariadres who was the satrap of the kingdom of Sophene in southern Armenia. Artaxias, at the instigation of Antiochos ΠΙ of Seleukid Syria, led a suecessful coup against the Orontid king of Greater Armenia, Orontes IV (212-200 BC). When Antiochos was defeated convincingly by the Romans at Magnesia in 191 BC, Artaxias and Zariadres made the most of the situation by declaring their respecdve kingdoms independent. This new found status was confirmed in the Roman Senate by the Treaty of Apameia in 188 BC, thus forging an Armenian relationship with Rome which would prove troublesome in futurerelationswith both Syria and Parthia. The Artaxiad kingdom of Armenia would reach its zenith under the rule of Artaxias' grandson, Tigranes Π the Great, who would also rule the Seleukid kingdom of Syria for fourteen years. (For more information on the Artaxiads and their coinage see Paul Z. Bedoukian, Coinage of the Artaxiads of Armenia, Royal Numismatic Society Special Publication No. 10 [London, 1978]; available from CNG for a limited time at the special price of $35).

In 53 BC, Crassus was killed al Carrhae and Rome had lost ils legionary standards. The limits ofRoman might were severely tested. Keeping Armenia freefromParthian domination was of great importance to Augustus. When the Armenians asked for Rome's help in ridding them ofArtaxes in favor ofTigranes, Augustus sent Tiberius to deal with the matter. Ay a matter of course, the Armenians themselves removed Artaxes; Tiberius arriving late to be oflittle aid. However, the Romans, always one to use propaganda to their advantage, treated this 'victory' as a monumental diplomatic triumph. Tiberius "put on a lordly air, especially after sacrifices had been offered up to commemorate the event, as though he had accomplished something by martial prowess." (Dio, liv. 9).

Bedoukian's reference will be abbreviated below as CCA]. Levon I (1199-1218). On the eve of the Third Crusade, Pope Clement HI asked Levon and the Armenian Caiholicos, Gregory IV, to extendfinancialand military help to the arriving crusaders. Levon sent an escort to the armies of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa who was approaching Cilicia after settling his disputes with the Byzantine Emperor Isaac Î Angelus. Frederick had promised Levon a royal crown for his fidelity, but unfortunately he drowned while crossing the Calycadnus nearSeleucia. Levon, however, continued to support the crusaders. His army was present at the siege ci Akre and he joined Richard the lionheart in his conquest of Cyprus. For his loyal support, Levonreceivedhisroyalcrown. He was crowned at Tarsus on January 6,1199 by the Imperial Chancellor Conrad of Hildeshiem, under decree from the new Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI and Pope Clement III.Except for the coronation coins, Levon's coins seem to be modelled on the coins of the Emperor Henry VL The silver coins are called trams. Early on the silver content was veiy high. Later, these coins were gradually debased to a low silver content, with notable deterioration in execution.

Within a short period, at the invitation of the nationalists, the MalmukEmir ofAleppo besieged Levons capital. Levon held out courageously in the Citadelfor several months before capitulating. He and his family were taken prisoner to Egypt. The surrender took place on April 16,1375, and ended Armenian rule in Cilicia. Levon was releasedfrom Egypt and went to Paris where he died in 1393.

Ex Larissa Hoard. This type is apparently one of a number of issues struck for Perseus during the Third Macedonian War as payment for mercenaries who required Rhodian coinage. Price has suggested that the Zo... which replaces the Rhodian ethnic on this issue may be the patronymic ofthe named issuer, Hermias, and indeed we know of a Hermias son ofZoilos at exactly this period, a man who came from Oropos and was Hieromnemon at Delphi inl78BC. Zoilos himself may also be the same man whose name appears below the portrait of Perseus on his early tetradrachms, and whose monogram continues to appear on Perseus' coinage for much ofthe period of the full weight issues.

This coin and the next three lots comprise a complete (and extremely rare) set of the four years of the revolt of the Pergamene pretender Eumenes III (Aristonikos) against the Romans from 133-130 BC. These four coins were issued in the Lydian cities ofThyateira and Apollonis. Apollonis was situated northwest ofSardeis, approximately midway between Pergamon and Sardeis, and Thyateira was located on the upper Lykos, east of Apollonis. Eumenes III - Aristonikosfinanced his revolt against the Romans with the coinage issued by a mobile mint as he occupied Thyateira, then Apollonis andfinally Stratonikeia. Aristonikos' revolt was motivated by the will of the last true king ofPergamon, Attalos III; 138-133 BC, who bequeathed the Pergamene kingdom to Rome. Much has been written on this unusual gift and logical thought dictates that the scholarly and bookish Altalos recognized that Rome would be the only power able to insure peace and order in Asia Minor. Altalos disliked his subjects and this action made certain that they had no fond memories of him. One of these subjects, Aristonikos, claiming to be a son ofEumenes II by a concubine, decided to leada revolt against the Romans who were caught unprepared by Attalos ' legacy. With the support and aid ofthe peasants, native tribesmen and the Pergamene upper-class bureaucracy, Aristonikos managed to lead his struggle against Rome for several years beforefinallybeing captured and executed by the Roman army at Stratonikeia. The Pergamene kingdom then became the core of the Roman province ofAsia.

These two coins mark the victories over successive waves ofinvaders thai threatened to dismember the empire in the late 3rd century. Gallienus (not Claudius) had achievedthe initial victory over the Goths at Naissus in 268, but Claudius' victories over the Germans at Lake Benacus and the Goths at Mount Gessax shattered the barbarian armies. Ironically, plague swept the weakened hoards, eventually claiming the emperor and much of his army as victims.
