Rare Metapontion D i o b o l D e p i c t i n g A p o l l o Karneios

Oscar Ravel notes in his catalogue of the Vlasto collection that the obverse die of this coin is shared with his number 536, with the addition of the small eight-rayed star to the die. These were the only two coins of this obverse type in this collection, both with different reverse types. He also notes that on the tail of the dolphin there are traces of a "miaoscopic signature K", and indeed, under our miaoscope, there does appear to be a letter on the tail, but which one - it is difficult to say! Ravel describes this coin as unique, which may still be very likely, even with all of the hoards of Tarentum nomoi discovered since the publication of his study in 1948.

The context and meaning of the types of the Derrones' dodekadrachms are still being debated. Little is known of this tribe other than their surviving coinage. Hoard findspots suggest that they inhabited inland Paeonia. The obverse type depicts a male figurethatis most likely the tribal king and hereditary high priest; the helmet marks their warrior affiliations and the flower represents their fertility religion. The reverse type is possibly one of the Derrones' gods, a warrior, that protects them; a typical mainstay ofThracian religion.

Seltman suggests this issue is a direct result of the Peace ofNikias in 421 BC, a temporary truce in the Peloponnesian War that, among other clauses, allowed Athenians and their allies full access to the saaed site of Olympia. The increase in commerce would place heavy demands on the Elian mint. Alternatively, Nicolet-Pierre places the issue at the conclusion of the war, circa 400 BC, with the same results, an increase in demandfor circulating coinage.

A F i n e S e l e c t i o n of R h o d i a n C o i n a g e From its earliest history, the island of Rhodes, situated off the coast of Caria, held an important place in the economic development of the Greek world. Conveniently 10cated on the main trade routes between east andwest, and having the advantage of a large natural harbor, Rhodes sent itsfleets across the entire Mediterranean, becoming not only a wealthy maritime trading center, but also a naval power.

In about the year 408 BC, the cities of the island agreed to establish a central capital on the harbor, naming it after the island. If Richard Ashton is correct, this is the starting point of the extensive coinage issues that emanatedfrom the mint at Rhodes, influencing commerce in the Mediterranean for the next four centuries. The mint adopted the weight standard that originated on the island of Chios in the 6th century BC, since its tetradrachm of circa 15.6 grams proved useful in exchanging amounts rendered in either Aeginetan staters in the west or Persian sigloi in the east. Rhodian drachms served as an important trade currency until the first century BC, when 157.

Radiate head of Rome curtailed the commercial activity of the city, seeing a rival whose presence Helios right (the Colossus of Rhodes) / ΡΟΔΙΟΝ, rose with bud to right; could not be tolerated. The popularity of the Rhodian type is typified by Mr Ashton's eight-rayed star and NI to left.

On the obverse, a head of the sun god Helios, either with a radiate crown or with wild curling locks of hair, both symbolizing the rays of the sun. The reverse bore arose, a punning reference to the city (ροδοσ). Helios would be assimilated with the god Apollo, and in many cases no distinction is made between the two. Mr. Ashton has identified a distinctive right-facing portrait of Helios as a type based on the Colossus of Rhodes, the massive bwnze statue of Helios designed by Chares ofLindos and set above the harbor in 280BC(KN1988). Although only standingfor fifty-six years bφrecollapsing in a earthquake, the statue would remain as a symbol of the city, becoming known as one of the seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This list, originally compiled by Greek travellers recounting their discoveries, is still repeated in modern times, its storyfinding its way into the editorial pages of sciencefiction magazines (Asimov 's Science Fiction Magazine. April 1995, pp. 6-10). Thefragments of the statue, by the way, lay around the harbor until the 7th century AD, when an enterprising (and hearty) Arab scrap merchant dredged them up and sold them.

Unpublished in the major references. VF, porosity. Rare. ($750)

The earliest stater of Tarsos, the unique piece with Bellerophon and Pegasos illustrated in Archaic and Classical Greek Coins (#1031), is attributed to the local Syennesid dynasts, circa 430 BC. By the following decade Persian pressure had overwhelmed the local house, Persian motifs and the Aramaic namefor the city becoming standard features of the coinage, although Bellerophon and Pegasos would appear on certain later issues probably intended for payment to Greek mercenaries.

The striding figure on the obverse is neither clothed as a Persian courtier nor unclothed as Bellerophon or the anonymous Greek hoplite. In his cloak and short battle dress, bearing twin spears, he may represent the Syennesis whose rule over Cilicia would be usurped by the Persian satraps to follow.

This type was struck in a military mint traveling with Sulla in the east after his successful campaign against Mithradates VI. The obverse type of Venus refers to Sulla's belief that he was under the protection of Venus, who granted him victory in the battle against Mithradates. On the reverse, the trophies refer to the battles of Chaeronea in 86 BC and ofOrchomenos in 85 BC. The capis and lituus, normally symbols of the augurate, were probably regarded by Sulla as symbolising a claim to 254.

Before leaving for Sardinia, this issue was struck by order of the Senate which was dominated by members of the Marian party to pay the army preparing to resist the return of Sulla. The reverse imagery reflects the expectations ofQ. Antonius Balbus. Sulla was victorius, and in 82 BC., Q. Antonius Balbus ivas removed fromfrom his seat as praetor by L. Philippus and slain.

It is also beleived that he may be the historian Procilius.

Little is known of the Procilia gens, but it can be inferred from the choice of types that it came from Lanuvium, where the worship of Juno Sospita, also known as Umuvina, originated.

The moneyer Pub. Crepusius is known only from his coins, and little can duced as to the meaning ofhis coin types.

Ti. Claudius Nero was the grandfather of the emperor Tiberius. The true meaning of the obverse and reverse types is not known, but it has been suggested that the reverse type of Victory may allude to the successes of C. Claudius New, an ancestor of this moneyer, and His victory over Hannibal for which he received a triumph.

Faustus Cornelius Sulla was the son of the dictator Sulla and his coin types are in honor of his father-in-law, Pompey. The obverse bust of Venus alludes to Pompey's consecration of the temple of Venus Victrix in 55 BC; the three trophies refer to three triumphs which were accorded to Pompey; and the capis and lituus refer to Pompey's office as augur.

L. Cassius Longinus was theyounger brother of C. Cassius, one of the murderers of Julius Caesar.

ANT. AVG DI VIR. R. P. C, galley right / Legionary eagle between two standards, LEG XI across field. RSC 39; Sydenham 1229; Crawford 544/25. Near P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther and M. Servilius were joint legates to Cassius and EF. ($450) 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 was elected to the college ofaugurs. After the murder ofCeasar, he joined the parties of Cassius and Brutus and was probably killed at Philltpi. The reverse type of this coin refers to Lentulus' appointment to the college of augurs and is one of the few instances in impaatorial coinage in which a moneyer used a reverse type that was personal to himself.

This type was struck to celebrate Caius and Lucius Caesars, the sons of Marcus Agrippa, as heirs to the imperial throne. Gaius became Princeps luventutis in 5 BC and Lucius in 2 BC. They died in 4 AD and 2 AD respectively, thus promoting Tiberius to heir apparent.

Russell C. Hollingsworth Collection. Marcus Agrippa was Augustus' chosen heir, andin 17 BC Augustus adopted Agrippa to insure a smooth succession. Agrippa's prominence in political affairs was emphasised 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 next year (12 BC).

In "Livilla's Portrait on Roman Coins" found in the February, 1995 issue of The Celator, Matt Kreuzer convincingly argues that the correct attribution of the obverse portrait is that ofLivilla, not Livia. But in deference to tradition (and not wanting to confuse anyone with a new idea), we have denoted this lot as Livia.

($1000) At the age of25, Gaius, the youngest son ofGermanicus and Agrippina Senior, became emperor. Not having the experience or military prestige to assure his elevaturn, Gaius had to rely on the principle of dynastic loyalty to win the support of the military and people of Rome. Accordingly, many of his coins concentrate on the dynastic theme, and thefirst type struck draws attention to his relationship to thefounder of 296.

A n Extremely Rare A n t o n i n i a n u s of Nigrinian

Throughout most ofhis reign, the antoniniani coinage ofPostumus was struck in Trier (probably) and it was not until the last year of his reign that Postumus opened a mint at Cologne. The issues from the new mint were all marked with the mints signature; C.C.A.A. (this coin), COL. CL. AGRIP or with the mint mark CA, which stands for Colonia Claudia Agrippina Augusta, the Roman name for the city of Cologne.

MISCELLANEOUS An Interesting Group of Lead Restrikes From The Dies of Carl Wilhelm Becker (1772-1830) Carl Wilhelm Becker was a businessman with a lovefor art and ancient coins. After several unsuccessful business ventures he undertook training as an engraver at the Munich mint. Having had some experience as a dealer in ancient coins, including being duped by other's forgeries, he began striking his own imitations. In his lifetime Becker produced some 350 very convincing dies for ancient Greek, Roman and Medieval coins, both common and rare. It was disputed then and still today whether his intent was to defraud. True, he would produce copies to orderfor collectors and museums, and offered sets of his tvorks as study collections, but his coins often enough turned up in the hands ofantiquarian dealers as genuine. After his death in 1830 the dies were transferred to the Berlin Museum, which used them to strike these lead copies through the 19th century.
