Thomas Î’. Lesure It is with great pleasure that Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. presents the collection of ancient Greek and Roman coinage, in particular the specialized collection of Janiform coinage, formed by Thomas B. Lesure of Phoenix, Arizona.

Although Tom's interest in numismatics began in his school days, it wasn't until his professional career as a travel writer and guide book author that his regard for ancient coins came to fruition. This was a direct result of his domestic and especially foreign travel that developed an avid, on-going enthusiasm for local, regional and national arts, crafts and cultures. As a resuit of numerous visits to Italy, Greece and most of the other Mediterranean countries, his numismatic involvement focused specifically on the coins of ancient Greece, Rome and their extended empires.

His first emphasis was on eagle reverses, a continuation of an earlier appeal in U.S. coins that feature eagles. But his "true love" soon manifested itself in Janus/Janiform Greek and Roman coins. The reasons: few other numismatists seemed to realize the potentiality; the challenge of acquiring difficult-to-find coins and variations (the Sydenham 64 series is a good example, not always obvious to some collectors, and in itself a challenge to obtain the numerous obverse and reverse varieties); the significance of Janus' ability to view the past and future; and, somewhat whimsically, as a symbol - still used by modern Italian and Greek artists - sometimes in altered form — of his Gemini birth sign. Both Victor England and the late John Barton were especially helpful and aggressive in supplying rare coins for this part of the collection.

Tom was born in Massachusetts but has lived more than half of his life, with his wife Nancy (a native Pennsylvanian), in their adopted state of Arizona. He was graduated from Boston University, receiving a BS degree in Journalism (cum laude), and did graduate study there, also. He worked in radio as a news and travel editor for eight years at the Yankee Network and the ABC affiliate in Boston before deciding to become a fulltime freelance travel writer and author (a decision influenced by a honeymoon cruise to South America).

Since then, in the last 40+ years, he has had some 3,000 travel articles published in major U.S. and overseas newspapers and magazines. In addition, he has writen 14 travel books plus parts of such series as Fodor, Frommer, Doubleday, Gousha and other guidebooks. His travels have taken him to more than 95 countries and he's still ready to add more and write about them. His favorites are the U.K., New Zealand, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland and the Bavaria region of Germany.

He is a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the Authors' Guild, the Society of Professional Journalists, the Dons of Arizona (a public service group that preserves and presents Southwest lore and history) and a former charter member of the Society of American Travel Writers. He has received several national awards for his writing.

Tom and Nancy have five children, three boys and two girls, and eight grandchildren. In addition to their love for travel, especially cruising, and being travel consultants, interest in representative ethnic arts and crafts remain high.

Ancient coins, too. Nancy also loves to garden; Tom prefers to watch her and read a good book from his 4,000 volume (and still growing) library.

Coins from his collection are noted as: Thomas B. Lesure Collection.

Group, Inc.

The Lesure Collection of Janiform Coinage Janiform is t h e t e r m u s e d b y numismatists to d e n o t e a double-faced h e a d (one to t h e left, t h e o t h e r right), a n d so-derived f r o m o n e of the most c o m m o n depictions of a double-faced portrait in ancient art — that of Janus, t h e R o m a n g o d of all beginnings. While t h e Lesure collection is w e l l - r e p r e s e n t e d in coins d e p i c t i n g Janus, it also h a s m a n y o t h e r coins, i n c l u d i n g G r e e k , d e p i c t i n g a j a n i f o r m h e a d .

Indeed, like m a n y other artistic conventions, t h e R o m a n s probably b o r r o w e d t h e d o u b l e - f a c e d d e p i c t i o n u s e d to p o r t r a y t h e i r g o d Janus. A double-faced portrait w a s p o p u l a r in ancient G r e e k art to s h o w plurality a n d d u a l i t y of n a t u r e just as it is u s e d for the s a m e p u r p o s e b y artists today.

Janus, in R o m a n religion, w a s a c t u a l l y t h e p a t r o n d e i t y of d o o r w a y s (januae) a n d a r c h w a y s (jani). T h e a r c h w a y s or jani in R o m e w e r e u s e d for c e r e m o n i e s m a r k i n g t h e d e p a r t u r e of t h e army.

The reverse type is identified as an adaptation of the denarius of Julius Caesar with the reverse of elephant trampling a serpent. Scheers describes this reverse as an elephant with indeterminate design above. Might we have an interesting propaganda point here? Caesar's design symbolizes Rome (the elephant) trampling her enemies (the serpent). Caesar's foes, the Remi, have a design with the serpent in a superior position above the elephant.

The "pedigree" coinage of Agathokles and Antimachos reaffirm their joint claims to the independent kingdom established by Diodotos and expanded by Euthydemos, and through them traces the lineage to the Sdeukid kings of Syria and eventually, to Alexander the Great. Alexander, Antiochos I and Pantaleon,another early Baktrian king, are all honored on extremely rare coins of the two successor kings. Eukratides would issue a parallel pedigree coinage when his revolt led to the overthrow of the first Baktrian dynasty. . . j*

However, variations in titles and portraiture may simply indicate the styles of different mints.

JUDAEA. Persian Period. Before333 BC. AR Hemiobol (0.28 gm).

Crowned head of bearded Persian right / "YHD", falcon with spread wings, head right. AJCI pg.116,9; Hendin 1 a. Good VF, off center. ($200) When Meshorer published Jewish Coins of the Second Temple Period in 1967, he knew of only one example of the falcon coinage of Judaea (with lüy reverse). In fact, of the six coins listed by him for the Persian period, five were recorded as unique.

The Judaea and Samaria region was apparently quite lacking a local coinage.

However, by thel98(ys several hoards found in the area of Samaria Sebaste and elsewhere in Israel revealed a number of new types ofobols, hemiobols and smaller fractions. Numerous examples are now known from the Persian and Hellenistic periods with Hebrew and Aramaic legends naming YHD (province of Judaea) and SMYRN (Samaria), as well as the names of local satraps and other officials. Other issues parallel the fractional Athenian imitations struck at Gaza. The drachm in the British Museum remains a unique larger denomination for Judaea.

The Nabataean kingdom, like the Hasmoneans and Herodians of Judaea, rose to power in the course of the withering of the Hellenistic empire of the Seleukids. Also like the Judaean kings, they grew wealthy from the excises taken from the busy trade routes between east and west that ran through their territory. Unlike the Judaean kings, the Nabataean kings, with their capital at remote Petra, kept a greater degree of independence from the growing Roman empire, at least for awhile. One consequence 262.

The springs of Panias (Banias), the source of the Jordan river, have been a sacred site since earliest antiquity.

fits a general theme that runs through the coinage issues of the otherwise unknown Durmius. Besides the crab, which does appear on coins ofCumae, as well as Kroton and Terina in Bruttium, we find a lion bringing down a stag, found cm coins of Velia, and a Victory crowning a man-headed bull, from the issues ofNeapolis. Other denarii of Durmius reproduce earlier Republican types; a Hercules head from a RomanoCampanian didrachm, the Calydonian boar of C. Hosidius Geta, and the Honos and Virtus heads ofL. Aquülius Florus. The suggestion by Burnett (RIC 318-319 note) that the use of earlier types reflects the discovery of a Greek hoard in the 1st century BC does not explain the wide variety of prototypes employed, dating from the 4th through the 1st century BC. Nor does the suggestion by Cavedoni that the Durmiicame from Campania explainaü the types found. Perhaps the simplest answer is that we have here evidence of an antiquarian dilettante of the 1st century who ordered strucka series of coin types from his personal coin collection.

Sestertii and dupondii in the name of Agrippina Jr. have been found focalized in the Balkan region, and were most likely struck at a local mint servicing the legions guarding the border. The sestertius is the carpentum type listedas RIC 103 (Claudius).

Only two specimens of the dupondius were known to von Kaenel, one in very poor condition in the Athens Museum and another that appeared in two Rollin and Feuardent axles in the 19th century (Hoffman 1896, lot 1306 and de Quelen 1888, lot 796). A line drawing of the second coin (A9) in von Kaenel suggests this could be the same coin, although it is more complete in several details than the piece Ulusrated in the drawing. This could be the result of a later, more thorough cleaning. One thing that is clear is that the supposed reverse legend CERES AVGVSTA SC is not present, the reverse being instead anepigraphic. The lack of reverse legends on the sestertius and dupondius, specifically the SC, would be in keeping with a provincial issue not issued under the nominal authority of the Roman Senate.

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 was dismantled after Nero's ignominious end in 68 AD, and is only known through its depiction on the coins. This particular exampie, surely one of the finest extant specimens, allows a careful study of the decorative details of the monument.

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 emperors in the west.

The small object at the feet of the emperor on the reverse has never been satisfactory ly 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 was the statue of Athena taken by Aeneas from the collapse of Troy and brought to Italy.

Subsequently, the Romans regarded it as one of the most important symbols of divine favor protecting the city and its empire. On this coin of Procopius we have the Christogram, symbol of the new religion taking hold across the empire, the radiate sun in the labarum, symbol of the cult of Sol that spread from the east beginning in the second century AD, and the palladium, symbol of the most ancient Roman cult.

Procopius has neatly captured all the facets comprising Roman public religion.

R O M A N PROVINCIAL The Damnatio Memoriae of Sejanus A man of limitless ambition and supreme patience, Sejanus came within an ace of the imperial throne. He succeeded his father as Praetorian Prefect, and as a capable administrator he quickly gained the favor of Tiberius, who called him 'socius laborum' (partner of our labors). Over a span of two decades he gradually increased his influence and eliminated imperial rivais. It was later suspected that he had even engineered the poisoning of Tiberius' son Drusus, whose wife Sejanus had seduced. His path was further cleared when he persuaded Tiberius to leave Rome and retire to Capraea.

Sejanus secured provincial army commands for his friends, obtained Tiberius' permission to marry a member of the imperial family (presumably Drusus' widow Li villa), and was nominated as joint consul with Tiberius for 31. He had clearly established himself as the successor. Finally, however, Tiberius' suspicions were aroused when he received a message from Antonia that made him doubt Sejanus'loyalty. Tiberius acted with caution. He summoned to Capraea, and safety, the future emperor Caligula, although it was soon learned that Caligula's brother Nero was dead, thanks no doubt to Sejanus. Tiberius resigned his consulship in May of 31, and Sejanus had to do the same. Next Tiberius appointed a replacement to Sejanus as Praetorian IYefect and secured the allegiance of the Vigiles. On the 18th of Cfctober in 31, Sejanus attended the Senate to hear the oonsul read a despatch from Tiberius in which he expected he would be given the tribunician power, but in fact the despatch denounced him as a traitor. The Senate condemned him, he was strangled in prison, and his body was torn to pieces by the mob. A reign of terror followed, in which Sejanus' children and many of his partisans were put to death.

The coinage of Bilbilis marks the joint consulship of Tiberius and Sejanus, and evidently a quantity of the coinage had already been struck and was held in the treasury at the time of Sejanus' unexpected condemnation. The systematic removal of Sejanus' name on this coinage apparently represents the first numismatic damnatio memoriae under the Empire.

The giant Antaeus, the son of Poseidon and Mother Earth, was in the habit offorcing strangers to wrestle him until they were exhausted, whereupon he killed them. Not only was he a strong and skilled athlete, but whenever he touched his mother, the earth, his strength was revived. Herakles and Antaeus met while Herakles was out travelling for his labors, and Herakles became determined to end this barbarous practice. He accepted Antaeus' challenge to a wrestling match and realizing that Antaeus was a son of Mother Earth; he lifted Antaeus in the air, off the ground, untilhe crushed him to death. This rare mythological type is known for Years 5,6 and 24 from Alexandria. The presen t specimen combines a new reverse die for year 5 with the extremely rare dated (LE) obverse die; also used for other mythological types that year such as "Orpheus Charming the Animals" and "The Judgment of Paris".

In response to an appeal from displaced Sybarites, Athens in 444 BC sponsored the foundation of a mixed colony under Athenian leadership on the deserted site of ancient Sybaris, whose name the cobrty at first assumed.

The colonists included such celebrated men as the orator Lysias and the historian Herodotus.

Within a few years disputes arose between the newcomers and the original Sybarites, who were expelled, whereupon the àty was renamed after a local spring called Thuria.

The types for the city's coinage were borrowed from its two parent cities, Athena from Athens and the bull from Sybaris. Athena appears in an Attic helmet, which had not previously been used on western coinage, but was in the future to be loidely imitated. The bull has been modified from its original Sybarite form with head reverted, and is shown at first walking with head lowered and later in more violent action, butting and pawing the ground. In this aspect the bull may represent the spring Thuria from which the city took its name. The mullet which often appears in the exergue beneath the bull also suggests an aquatic connection.

Silver Nomoi of Velia in Lucania Velia (llyele) was a latecomer among the Creek cities of South Italy, founded about 540 BC by Phokaian refugees from the Persian conquest of their home in Ionia. The lion, sometimes shown devouring •prey, is derived from Asia Minor and so represents the origins of the populace. The nymph l lyele was chosen for the head type of the early coinage, but the influence of the mint of Thourioi led to the adoption in the late 5th century of a head of Athena wearing a aested Attic helmet (see introduction to the coinage of Thourioi). ^ ^ r _ ‫׳‬.:w ».

Group, Inc. Gold Staters of Alexander the Great

Alexander established a comprehensive sytem of mints to supply coinage throughout his vast empire. The basic designs were selected by the central authority, no doubt by Alexander himself, although variations of ornamentation and great variations in style afforded the engravers ample opportunity for individual artistic expression.

For the designs of his principal gold coin, Alexander selected patriotically Hellenic types. The obverse depicts the head of Athena right wearing a aested Corinthian helmet, decorated (usually) with a coiled snake. Athena, the goddess of wisdom and bringer of victory and freedom, was a natural symbol as patroness of the Greeks in their confrontation with the Orient. The reverse design, a Nike standing left holding a victory wreath in her outstretched right hand and a mast (stylis) in her left, is a reference to naval vietory. In the absence of any specific victory by Alexander that could be thus commemorated, this type must allude to the general naval superiority of the Creeks as a seafaring people, and in particular to the supreme united naval success in their history, the victory over the Persians in the battle of Salamis.

The design is completed by the symbols and monograms of individual mints and magistrates.

Silver Tetradrachms of Alexander the Great In contrast to his gold coinage, for the silver Alexander chose universal types thai could appeal not only to the Greeks but throughout his empire. The obverse head of Herakles wearing the skin of the Nemean lion was a suitable type for a warrior king. Herakles had also appeared on earlier regal Macedonian issues, for it was through this hero that the Macedonian royal line could claim to be of truly Greek descent. In the east, this figure could be equally identified as the Phoenician Melcjart. The reverse type of Zeus enthroned, holding an eagle and sceptre, marks a continuation of the depiction of Zeus on Philip's coinage, as well as marking Alexander's claim to be the leader of the Greek states. In addition, Zeus in this pose could be interpreted as the Cilician Baaltarsand the Babylonian Marduk.

Group, Inc. Silver Tetradrachms of Perseus of Macedon

Perseus bore a name which had no precedent in the Macedonian royal house. The mythical Perseus had been an Argive hero, the slayer of the Gorgon and the saviour of Andromeda. Perseus ' mother, the wife of Philip V, was an Argive, and it was most likely her influence which induced Philip to adopt Perseus as his patron deity, to place him on his own coinage, and to name his eldest son after him.

The last king of Macedon, Perseus had the misfortune to ascend the throne when the growing power of Rome made conflict virtually inevitable. He attempted through tact and diplomacy to placate the Romans, but the intrigues of his neighbor Eumenes of Pergamum, coupled with Roman suspicion, led to the final Macedonian war in 171 BC. The Roman commander Aemilius Paullus brought Perseus to battle at Pydna in a decisive battle that finished Macedon as an independent state.

Perseus appears on the coinage in an aggressive, powerful portrait, wearing the royal diadem. The oak wreath on the reverse recalls Zeus of Dodona, and the eagle on thunderbolt, likewise adopted from Zeus, is tobe seen as the personal device of Perseus himself. Perseus ' early coinage was struck on the Attic weight standard (c. 17 gm), but he changed to a reduced weight standard of c. 155 gm in 171 BC when theßnal conflict with Rome began.

N e w Style Silver Tetradrachms of Athens Athens produced a steady supply of tetradrachms from the early 5th century BC to the conquest of the city by Demetrios Poliorketes in 294 BC. The "mois " popularity as an international trade currency and standard of value led to an extreme conservatism of style that, while allowing their ready acceptance over much of the ancient world, has reduced modern numismatists to seeking minute variations in details to properly classify the series.

The crude, lumpy tetradrachms of the laieAth century are a sad remnant of a respected heritage. There were occasional issues through the 3rd century, notably after Athens regained its freedom from Macedonia in 229 BC, but the next active period of minting began in the 2nd century with a renewed period of prosperity for Athens, exemplified by the introduction of the broad flan New Style tetradrachm.

Although keeping the basic design elements, the New Style tetradrachms offered a drastic revamping of details. The archaizing head of Athena was replaced with a somewhat florid adaptation of the Athena Parthenos of Pheidias, her ornate triple-crested helmet decorated with florets and rivets, a flying Pegasos and a quadriga of horse protomes across the visor. The owl now stands upon an amphora, surrounded by a wreath, from which the coins acquired the common name of stephanophoroi or " w r e a t h b e a r ers," as they are recorded in ancient inscriptions of the mid-2nd century.

Most importantly for modern numismatists, the tetradrachms now bore magistrates' names, mint symbols, and even the months in which they were struck. Margaret Thompson, in T h e N e w Style Silver Coinage of A t h e n s , brought together all previous work on the series and organized all known types and dies in a secure sequence.

There seems to be little controversy over the internal order of issues, but the absolute dating of the series is still subject to vigorous debate. Thompson herself revised her initial date of area 196 BCfor thebeginning of the series, but dates between 185 and 160 BC are still promoted by different author!ties. The date of 185 BC proposed by Otto Merkholm is adopted for this catalogue.

Classical Numismatic Electrum Hektes of Phokaia and Mytilene Around 400 BC, the city of Mytilene on Lesbos and the city of Phokaia on the mainland entered into a monetary alliance, with each city to mint for both in alternate years. The weight of the hektes and the composition of the manmade electrum were carefully legislated, and the penalty for intentional violation of the standards by a mint magistrate was death. This system led to a highly varied and artistic series of coinage, while the issues of each city were carefully distinguished.

The coinage of Mytilene has both obverse and reverse designs, while the coinage of Phokaia has only an incuse for the reverse and in addition bears a small seal (φωκη) as an adjunct symbol, a punning reference to the name of the city.

Aspendos lay several miles up the then navigable river Eurymedon and was an important port and naval base. Certainly on two occasions a major Persian fleet was concentrated there: in about 467 on the occasion ofCimon's victory, and again in 410. Shortly after the latter date the city instituted a new coinage featuring on the obverse two wrestlers coming to grips and on the reverse a slinger in action with the ethnic written beside. The legend "Estvediys, " although written in Greek, is the Pamphylian form of the name Aspendos. The triskeles, which was the civic badge and had featured more prominently on the äty 's earlier coinage, was relegated to the position of a symbol. Successive issues were distinguished by additional symbols or letters in the field. The considerable output of coinage is evidence of the prosperity and importance of the city.

Nagidos started coining in the last quarter of the 5 th century and continued until the arrival of Alexander. The mint was not a major one, however, as it consumed only 31 obverse dies for staters in the whole of this period. The civic types are executed in elegant detail: on the obverse a seated Aphrodite, sacrificing from a phiale over a flaming, garlanded altar, is crowned from behind by Eros; on the reverse a standing Dionysos holds a grape cluster and thyrsos.

Silver Staters of Mazaios, Satrap of Cilicia Mazaios had a long and successful career, first in the Persian Empire and then under Alexander the Great. He served as satrap of Cilicia under both Artaxerxes III and Darius III, and in 345 BC he was rewarded for good service by the addition of Phoenicia to his satrapy. In 331 Mazaios, now Persian satrap of Babylon, guarded the Euphrates until Alexander arrived, but withdrew at his approach and let him cross unopposed. He commanded the Persian right wing at the battle of Gaugameia in October of 331 BC and distinguished himself, but ordered a retreat when deserted by Darius.

He surrendered Babylon to Alexander and was rewarded by bang confirmed in his satrapy.

Mazaios ' coinage as satrap ofCiliaa employed Aramaic legends and the local types of Baal of Tarsos and the lion and bull, the civic emblem of Tarsos. In addition to his local connection, Baal had the added advantage of universality, as he could be interpreted by Greek mercenaries as Zeus.

Silver Tetradrachms of the Ptolemies of Egypt In 332 BC, Alexander the Great u>as crowned at Memphis as Pharaoh of Egypt, beginning a period of Greek rule that ended with the suicide of Cleopatra. Ptolemy, one of Alexander's generals, became satrap of Egypt after Alexander's death and declared himself king in 305 BC. He consolidated his position and, aided by the natural and easily defended borders of Egypt, established the most successful and long-lived dynasty among the successors of Alexander. Once Ptolemy I had established the political and military power of Egypt, Ptolemy II established the country's cultural supremacy in the Hellenistic world, building the famous Museum and Library, as well as the Pharos and a canal from the Nile to the Red Sea. The Library remained unparalleled for the remainder of its existence.

Ptolemy I placed his own portrait on the tetradrachms. He is represented with the attributes of Zeus, wearing the aegis over his shoulders. He adopted the eagle andthu nderbolt of Zeus as his personal device, and these appear on the reverse. Ptolemy's succesors honored the founder of the dynasty by continuing to use his types down to the time of Cleopatra.

Silver Tetradrachms of Eukratides of Baktria As his coins declare, Eukratides was a warrior king. About 176 BC, he appeared in Baktria with a small force and raised a revolt against Demetrios, who was at the lime campaigning in India. In the lengthly civil war that ensued Eukratides was victorious, and thereafter during his bng reign he fought to enlarge his kingdom, including moving across the I lindu Kush and south into Arachosia. He appears on his coins equipped for war, wearing a crested bronze calvary helmet adorned with a bull's horn and ear. Beneath his helmet he wears the traditional royal diadem. At his shoulder can be detected the plates of his cuirass. On the reverse he styles himself a "great" king, implying that he was an overloard of whom other kings were vassals.

The mounted Dioskouroi, Castor and Poly deuces, were warlike deities appropriate to a warrior king.

Bronze Folles of the Tetrarchy The upheaval of the Military Anarchy in the mid-3rd century exhausted the Empire, leaving it in need of the comprehensive reforms of Diocletian which were intended to restore stability in all spheres of life. After establishing himself as emperor, Diocletian recognized that the government and defense of such a vast and diverse empire were too great a responsibility for a single ruler and that heal insurrection could be more easily controlled by a division of power within theEmpire. He therefore appointed Maximianus as joint emperor in charge of the western provinces while Diocletian himself maintained control over the east. In 293 AD, the system was further refined by the appointment of two Caesars, Constantine I (under Maximianus) and Galerius (under Diocletian), and the developed form of the Tetrarchy was thus established.

After the dramatic debasement of the coinage during the Military Anarchy, a complete reform of the coinage was necessary for the re-establishment of a stable economy. Diocletian accomplished his comprehensive reform in suecessive stages. First he introduced gold aurei on a heavier standard of 60 instead of 70 to the pound. Next he introduced a new silver coin, the argenteus, of about the same weight and fineness of the old denarius. Finally, in about 295 AD, he introduced a new bronze coin, the follis, approximately equal in size to the as of the earlier empire. In conjunction with the reform, it became routine to place a mint mark on the reverse, so from this time onward the coins may be easily attributed by mint. Follis weights were maintained within the original weight tolerance of about 85-11 grams for a decade ofter the reform, but weights then began to drop in 307AD with the deterioration of the political system, and within a generation the original large bronzes had been gradually reduced to the small AE3 'sand AE4 's of the late Constantinian period.
