The Greek cities of the Cyrenaica, namely Cyrene and Barce, were one of the main suppliers of grain for the Mediterranean (in one instance, they even saved mainland Greece from starvation). As long as the grain trade flourished, the Cyrenaica enjoyed prosperity. The revenues from the silphium trade were also important. Silphium, a plant that is likely to be extinct since antiquity, was used as medicine; its importance to the ancient economy of the Cyrenaica is underlined by the fact that both Barce and Cyrene used it as a badge on their coins. The other side of their coins displays a head of Zeus in a version specific to North Africa, with the horns of a ram, thus equivalent to the Egyptian god Amun. Zeus-Ammon, as the Greeks called him, was introduced to the Greek pantheon as early as the early fifth century BC. According to ancient sources the Boeotian poet Pindar, who wrote victory odes for Cyrenian aristocrats, donated a statue of Zeus-Ammon to a sanctuary (c. 450 BC). Its head might have been reminiscent of the relevant type of Cyrenian coins, and it is fun to imagine what Pindar’s unsophisticated fellow-citizens might have thought about a statue of Zeus with the horns of a ram! Porous surfaces but an impressive piece nonetheless. The obverse of this coin shows a very complete and elegant silphium plant. The reverse is very well struck with a sharp shadowing of an undertype that doesn’t interfere with the image of the deity Ammon. aEF..............................................................................6900 161.

TETRICUS II AS AUGUSTUS; 273 AD, Antoninianus, 2.01g. Obv: C P E TETR[ICVS] C AVG Bust radiate r. Rx: PAX - [AV]G Pax standing l. holding branch and transverse scepter. It is chiefly the coins that provide evidence, not accepted by everybody, that Tetricus I made his son joint Augustus for a short time at the end of his reign. Rare antoniniani show jugate busts of Tetricus I and II with the legend IMPP TETRICI PII AVGG; and an antoninianus in Oxford that shares its reverse die with several of these jugate-bust coins shows on the obverse a radiate portrait of Tetricus II alone, with legend IMP C P E TETRICVS C AVG. See C.H.V. Sutherland, An Unpublished Coin...of Tetricus II, Museum Notes XI, 1964, pp. 151-8, pl. XXIX. Now a few other antoniniani of Tetricus II alone naming him Augustus are reported by RIC236, 250, 253, and 290-1, but these all appear to be just ancient imitations, not official issues. Our coin may be only the second such coin recorded which is actually official, though its omission of IMP at the beginning of the obverse legend is admittedly odd.

A remarkable and very rare obverse type calling Carus “Master and God” and showing his portrait facing that of the sun god. Analyses have shown that the rare coins marked XI contained about 9% silver, while those marked XXI contained about 4.5% silver. The coins marked XI must therefore have been worth twice as much as those marked XXI, and “XI” must have meant “ten parts copper, one part silver”, whereas “XXI” meant “twenty parts copper, one part silver”.

Similarly Tacitus reports that in 64 AD the people of Rome welcomed Nero’s cancellation of a proposed Eastern voyage, because they feared that the grain supply would falter in his absence. On the BM specimen of this denarius, pl. 59.11, the wheat ear is shown behind Fortuna’s seat rather than below it.

Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection. An elaborate and rare type, occurring only on denarii, which is poorly published because the BM had no specimen, and because Cohen’s correct description of the Paris specimen was botched (omitting the Cupid) in his second edition.

Rx: VICTORIAE AVGVST Victory, naked to waist, seated r. on low seat, placing l. hand atop shield resting on column before her and holding parazonium at her side in r. hand; below seat, cuirass lying sideways on ground. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex DixieNoonan-Webb, 15 March 2012, part of lot 1150 (4 coins). An exceptional type, known so far only for Caracalla (though perhaps a pendant for Septimius should be expected), and only on denarii, not on aurei or bronze coins too. The abbreviation AVGVST rather than AVGG or AVGVSTORVM in the reverse legend is unusual; likewise the tippedover cuirass and the fact that Victory holds a parazonium rather than a writing utensil to inscribe her shield. Cohen-626 originally reported a specimen of this denarius from Imhoof-Blumer’s collection in 1886, and Imhoof’s coin was later sold, though without illustration, in J. Hirsch XVIII, 27 May 1907, Imhoof-Blumer, lot 1148 (graded “schön”, the equivalent of today’s “VF” or “Good VF”; weight not given). Now Imhoof-Blumer, Cohen=Feuardent, and Jacob Hirsch were eminent authorities, but in the absence of an illustration they were unable to persuade later numismatists of this coin’s regularity: Pink in his Aufbau considered it doubtful, Mattingly in BMC listed the type as “uncertain” and repeated Pink’s “doubtful”, B.A. Seaby left it unpriced in his Roman Silver Coins, and P.V. Hill omitted the type from his Coinage of Septimius Severus and his Family of the Mint of Rome. The type has been vindicated, however, by the recent appearance in trade of two clearly authentic specimens from the same pair of dies: CNG 85, 15 September 2010, lot 947 (sold for $2200 + 15%), and the present specimen, from a British private collection sold by DNW in March 2012. So either two or three specimens of this denarius are now known to exist, depending on whether or not the CNG coin or ours is the same as the one formerly owned by Imhoof-Blumer. The features of Caracalla suggest that this type was struck c. 206 AD; the date must in any case be between mid-206, when Caracalla’s “head only” portrait replaced his “draped bust” on denarii, and mid-209, when his portrait changed from clean-shaven to bearded.

275 514. MEDITERRANEAN ETAT ABREGE DE LA MAISON DU GRAND SEIGNEUR, [VIEWS OF CONSTANTINOPLE], By: Henri Abraham Chatelain

Date: 1710 (Published) Paris

Dimensions: 13.5 x 17.5 inches (34.3 cm x 44.5 cm)

This lovely hand-colored authentic antique map by Chatelain depicts Constantinople in the early years of the eighteenth century with special attention paid in the first illustration to the Serai (Palace) of Topkapi, the grand palace built by the Ottomans on the point of the ‘rhinoceros’ horn’, a term often used to describe the shape of the land jutting out into the sea at this point. The scene from the sea is still recognizable today, as a portion of the land below the Palace is yet undeveloped, and portions of the great walls still stand. The accompanying text names and describes the responsibilities of various important members of the Ottoman government, including the Sultan.

The central engraving is a panoramic view of the city from the east side of the Bosphorus, which includes all major architectural edifices then extant as well as some which did not exist in quite the form depicted. The text describes the government’s military forces and sources of revenue, and pictures camels laden with goods, peasants, and the smaller walled settlement of Chalcedon.

The third engraving depicts Hagia Sophia, the mighty architectural edifice built by Justinian I on the site of the original church which was burnt to the ground during the Nika Revolt of the sixth century. Justinian spared no expense in realizing the plans drawn up by the famed architect Isidore of Miletus and the mathematician Anthemius of Tralles. He ordered all provinces under his reign to send the best architectural pieces to be used in the construction so that the Hagia Sophia could be bigger and grander.

The columns and marbles used in the structure were taken from ancient cities in and around Anatolia and Syria, such as, Aspendus Ephessus, Baalbeek and Tarsa.

Condition: This map is in A condition with toning at the borders and some spotting.

Centerfold and other minor separations have been repaired with archival material on the verso.
