When I was asked to look at a book of Roman portraits I thought why bother. Seeing it I was amazed.

Here is a 444 page book with 500 years of portraits of more than 200 emperors and their families coming to 722 very large portrait images and 63 special reverses in the best possible condition plus several hundred more images in 14 articles fully illustrated though mostly in German. Absolute rarities such as Domitian of Gaul, Proculus, Saturninus, etc. never before seen in this picture quality are included.

Every one of the 785 illustrated coins in the main part of the volume is labeled in English. The volume

by Andreas Pangerl, a research doctor in Munich, is the finest of its type and a great education for any Roman collector. I was pleased to be told that my 100 Greatest Ancient Coins gave him the idea that the coins in the book are not from museums but from the trade and private collections so collectors can own plate coins. Only 1000 were printed and they are mostly sold out. Our price is $90 plus shipping.

Sincerely,

Ner va

In the late sixth century and early fifth century B.C., several Thracian tribes and the Greek city of Abdera in Thrace struck enormous silver octadrachms, eight-drachm coins. The most prominent of the tribes was the Bisalti, who lived to the west of the lower Strymon river in Thrace. Octadrachms were the largest silver coins struck anywhere at the time. The size of this denomination is made apparent by the fact that a mercenary soldier was paid significantly less than one drachm a day and a highly skilled artisan made no more than one drachm a day. An octadrachm was much too large a denomination for use in daily transactions at the market. Its purchasing power would have been at least as great as a thousand dollar bill today! Why, then, did the Thracians issue these enormous coins? The Thracians controlled important silver mines and exported silver to pay for luxuries, such as wine, fine weapons, and stylish clothing, that they imported in great quantities from Greece and the Persian Empire. Also, in the late sixth century the Persians extended their empire to include Thrace, and they demanded tribute from this newly conquered territory. That tribute must have been paid in these large silver coins, for they are found primarily in the territory of the Persian Empire: Anatolia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, and Iran. Relatively few octadrachms have survived. The pressure required to strike these large pieces must have been great and the dies wore quickly. Most of those found in the Persian Empire have suffered from test cuts and in many cases have actually been hacked into smaller and presumably more easily negotiable pieces. The grouping of these coins which came into the market some years ago has mostly been absorbed by collectors and museums. Soon the true rarity of these coins will again be reflected by the lack of market availability. Some areas of the horse’s body are a little flat, possibly from overstriking rather than wear, and without much affecting the beautiful images of this obverse.

This wonderful coin was one of the two commemorative coins struck for the Panhellenic festival that Antiochus IV created to compete with the festival the Romans were carrying on. The festival lasted about 30 days and had many parades, dinners, and athletic events. This

coin depicts a real statue of Apollo that was shown at the games. All but one of this issue are of the same grade with the same toning, thus all of these as very rare Greek coins must come from a single find before 1980. This coin with head of Apollo on obverse is considerably rarer than its companion piece showing head of Zeus, so may be considered one of the most desirable coins issued by the Seleucid kings.

Rx: Male figure on r., with r. hand raising kneeling female figure on l.; behind, trophy; in exergue, MVRCVS IMP. Lucius Staius Murcus began his political career as a legate of Caesar in Gaul and Africa from 48-46 BC. After Caesar’s murder, he was appointed proconsul of Syria by the Senate. When Cassius arrived in the province in 43 BC, Murcus promptly transferred his allegiance and legions to the Liberator and was rewarded with command of a fleet. He demonstrated considerable skill as a naval tactician and in uneasy partnership with Ahenobarbus achieved complete control of the Adriatic and the seas around Greece. After the Republican disaster at Philippi, the two admirals waited developments in the Ionian Sea in support of no cause but their own, pirates in all but name. Murcus eventually made the ill-fated decision to throw in his lot with Sextus Pompey in Sicily. Pompey no doubt welcomed the arrival of Murcus’ ships and well-seasoned crews, but Murcus himself was inconveniently accustomed to his own independent command. The two men soon quarreled; Pompey accused Murcus of conspiracy and ordered his execution in 40/39 BC.

The rare coinage of Staius Murcus has never received the careful examination it merits.

The depiction of Neptune on the obverse is an exact echo of an issue struck by Brutus in the previous year (Crawford 507/2), perhaps an indication of Murcus’ lingering allegiance to the Republican cause. The type and legend of the reverse is more difficult to explain. For what victory did Murcus justify the adoption of the title IMP for Imperator? Sear in “Imperators” suggests the successful siege of Bassus in Apamaea in 43 BC as a suitable occasion, but Republican commanders didn’t typically claim imperium for victory over their fellow Romans. Nor would that land siege two years earlier resonate with the sailors under Murcus’ command in 41 BC, presumably the intended targets of the message. How does the title relate to the scene depicted? Is the standing male figure Murcus? Is the kneeling figure Roma, as suggested by Crawford?

Again, what battle is represented by the trophy?

An attractive example of an extremely rare coin, without the porosity, poor centering and double-striking that notoriously plague this issue. It’s been plausibly suggested that the endemic double-striking indicates that these coins were actually struck aboard a ship in Murcus’ fleet!

Very rare. Traditionally called “The plan of a Roman camp”, this reverse type probably in fact depicts the famous vision of Constantine I, the cross within a circle surrounding the sun that he and his army saw in the sky while marching north from Marseilles in spring 310 AD. This explanation of the type, proposed by David Miller in The Celator some years ago, has assumed new claims to validity now that Peter Weiss, in Volume 16 (2003) of the Journal of Roman Archaeology, has convincingly explained Constantine’s vision as a solar halo that appeared in Gaul in 310. This may be the last appearance of the pagan sun god on Roman coins (RIC VII, p. 494).

A special piece created for an equally special event. The coin is quite tiny at 13mm.

The piece has dark patination. There is some surface porosity but nothing terribly bad.

BYZANTINE COINS WITH CROSS OR CHI-RHO

Lots from 294-318 are the highlights of an exceptional collection of Byzantine coins showing a cross or a chi-rho, that was formed by Minister Dan Clark over a 45 year period. When the collection was formed most of the coins were unpublished. Presently, most have been published, but usually only in fewer than five examples each. Because the issue from Anastasius to the early issues of Justinian were struck in such a peaceful time, they circulated for many decades and are generally found in extremely worn condition, sometimes with very little of the type showing. That makes the coins that we offer from the Dan

Clark collection of very high quality even though for most issues they would be considered worn.

Rx: [AVP ANTΩNEI]NIAN - K - VZIKHN ΔIC around, [NE]OKOP in exergue, Bare-headed Caracalla on horse pacing l., raising r. hand in greeting and holding spear or scepter diagonally in l. hand. Apparently unpublished reverse type for Caracalla at Cyzicus, referring to his passage through Asia Minor in 214-5 including probable visit to Cyzicus. Two comparable types are known on medallions of Caracalla at Cyzicus, one showing Caracalla sacrificing at an altar between two vexilla, the other showing him standing and raising his right hand in greeting before a statue of Serapis seated with Cerberus at his feet: see SNG Paris-776 and 778. In addition, the legends of these coins boast two new honors that were probably granted in connection with the imperial visit: a second neocorate and the title “Antoninian” for the city and its inhabitants, derived of course from Caracalla’s own dynastic name “Antoninus”. One of those two neocorates was for Kore herself, who appears on the obverse of our coin, as we can tell from another reverse type of Caracalla at Cyzicus, showing the square shrine of Kore at Cyzicus alongside an ordinary temple, with the title “holder of two neocorates”: see SNG Paris-782 and Imhoof-Blumer, Zur gr. u. röm. Münzkunde, pp. 41-46 and pl. III.16. That our coin, despite its lack of imperial portrait, belongs to this same commemorative issue under Caracalla is evident first from the titles “[Antoni]nian” and “holder of two neocorates” on the reverse, and second from the fact, noted by H. von Fritze, Die autonome Kupferprägung von Kyzikos, Nomisma X, 1917, p. 29, that a Kore obverse die of the same size and style as ours shares a Galley reverse die of Cyzicus as “Antoninian” and “holder of two neocorates”, with an obverse die of the bearded Caracalla himself, namely SNG Paris-784. The Kore obverse die of our coin was also used with the reverses Hades carrying off Kore, von Fritze, p. 27, no. 41, pl. VI.34, and Attis reclining, Gorny & Mosch 152, 2006, 1780 = 126, 2003, 1806.

As to the reverse, a Jupiter seated type was known, but with the god holding a patera and his eagle standing behind his seat (RPC922). On our coin Jupiter holds Victory instead, and his eagle is absent. VG.........175 419. TRAJAN DECIUS; 249-251 AD, Cremna, Pisidia, AE 18, 3.80g.

Judging from the specimens of RPC-2212, 2213, and 2214 that are illustrated by RPC online, this unusual obverse type combining portraits of Herennius Etruscus and Hostilian seems to occur on only one obverse die at Bostra. RPC, following BMC p. 26, reads IMP with just one P at the beginning of the obverse legend of this die, so confining that title Imperator to Etruscus only.

On our specimen, however, and on Sofaer pl. 131, 58-59, the correct reading seems to be IMPP with two P’s, meaning that Etruscus and Hostilian together are called Imperatores. .Caesares.

Internal portion of the lid is a single smoothed piece of clay with white slip covering. No hands are portrayed on this example. Coffins are slipper shaped anthropoid masks in all cases.

Depictions are either naturalistic of grotesque in nature. Some types borrow heavily from imagery of ushabti or Osiris in that they are portrayed in mummiform with arms crossed. In all cases, the coffins were coil made and fired once. The lids all tend to be cut from single larger dense clay, shaped and fired with facial features added in a second firing. In some cases, both paint and gilding are present on examples.

ROMAN NABATAEAN BRONZE PENDANT OF TYCHE OR AL-UZZA, ca.

1st-2nd Century AD. Veiled female of Tyche or Al-Uzza holding drapery with left hand and right extended. The Nabataeans equated Al-Uzza with the Greek goddess Aphrodite Ourania. Nice green patina with suspension loop on back which makes it wearable. Ex CNG 88, 14 September 2011, lot 2155. H. 2.9 cm..............................400 570. ROMAN BRONZE LION APPLIQUE, ca. 1st-2nd Century AD. A very nicely modeled lion in repousse, smooth leaf green patina. L. 1 3/4” W. 1” (4.5 cm x 2.5 cm).............................................................................................................................325 571. BRONZE AGE RELIQUARY CROSS, ca. 9th-12th Century AD. Beautiful green patina. A wonderful example of an intact reliquary cross. L. 2 5/8” (6.6 cm)..........485 572. RUSSIA BRONZE ORTHODOX CRUCIFIX WITH INSCRIPTION, Early 18th Century. Traditional Orthodox Golgotha crucifix. On either side of the top of the cross are the letters IC XC, the abbreviation for Jesus Christ. Other abbreviations usually include ‘Son of God’ and/or ‘King of Glory’. Two long lines ascend each side of the lower body of Christ. The one on the left has a point at its top. It is the spear with which the body of Christ was pierced. The other is a long reed bearing a sponge at its top, the sponge with which Christ was given vinegar to drink. The slanted footbeam of the cross is notable because of the traditional folk interpretation that it slants up toward Christ’s right hand, indicating the ascent of believers to heaven, and it slants down from his left hand, indicating the descent of non-believers to Hell. At the base of the cross is a figure representing Adam in a cave, and below are the letters ‘M L (there should be RB as well) which is part of an abbreviation for Mesto Lobnoe Rai Buist, meaning “The Place of the Skull Became Paradise.” Old Believers give the letters R B a different interpretation: Rab Bozhiy — “Servant of God.” This skull is definitely identified by the letters G A as Golova Adama — “The skull of Adam.” In icon tradition, Adam — the first-created man — was buried precisely on the site where the Crucifixion later took place. And when Christ was crucified there was an earthquake.

The ground opened just below the cross, revealing Adam’s skull. Traditional Orthodox prayers cover the verso. H. 1 1/2” W. 7/8” (3.8 cm x 2.2 cm)..................................350 WEAPONS 573. ROMAN IRON AND BRONZE KNIFE, ca. 3rd-4th Century AD. An unusually well-preserved piece with it’s iron blade and bronze fittings still intact. Mounted. L. 7 1/4” (18 cm)............................................................................................................1250 574. EUROPEAN FRENCH NAVAJA (FOLDING SWORD), ca. 19th Century AD. An unusually large example of a French navaja, a traditional Spanish folding blade.

The first navajas originated in southern Spain and were later manufactured in other countries, particularly France. The later development of the backspring and locking mechanisms added to the knife’s popularity. Practical use of the navaja began to

decline around the 19th century but was still held as a cherished custom and remained part of the personal costume for years. The unique look and cultural symbol was highly attractive to foreign visitors and the blades soon became a must-have collectible and souvenir in Spain. Our piece is finely crafted with iron blade and handle of etched bone with figural and floral design alternating with mother-of-pearl inlays. The size indicates perhaps this piece was a display item used to showcase the knife-maker’s fine skill. Handle L. 23” (58 cm).............................................................................2250 ASIAN ART 575. THAI SANDSTONE BUDDHA HEAD, ca. 11th Century AD. A very rare example of Haripunchai sandstone adorned Buddha head. The Haripunchai belonged to the Mon-Dvaravati Khmer people, who were the inhabitants of Thailand before the Thais migrated. The Haripunchai had a kingdom in Thailand which peaked around the 11th/12th century, at the time when the Khmer controlled much of Southern and Central Tailand during the Lopburi Period. In many respects, their art closely resembles Khmer art. The present piece represents the adorned Buddha. It has very strong Mon/ Khmer features, namely the squarish face and rectangular lips. Haripunchai pieces are usually found in terracotta or stucco, making this sandstone example a rarity. H. 10 3/4” (27 cm) with base 14”.....................................................................................2500 576. CHINESE MING BRONZE STATUE OF LAO TZU, Late Ming Dynasty, ca. 16th Century AD. The statue depicts the famous founder of Taoism, Lao Tzu, who wrote the Tao Te Ching in the 6th century BC, a classic of ancient Chinese philosophy.

The sage is represented in traditional form, bald and bearded, holding a scroll and sitting atop his ox. The piece is a wonderful example of the fine, fluid artwork created for the elite and educated class in ancient China as opposed to the rougher and stiff popular forms of sculpture. The sculpture is in excellent condition with a typical black to brown Ming patina. L. 10 1/4” H. 8” (26 cm x 20 cm).....................................12500 577. INDIAN BRONZE GODDESS, ca. 18th Century AD. This goddess likely represents Sita, the consort of Rama. She stands on a multi-stepped square plinth, one hand in an upright gesture and the other falling to her side, she is heavily adorned with jewelry.

Unusually, the piece has traces of gilt around the face which is uncommon in Hindu bronze sculpture. A nice larger example of period Hindu sculpture. H. 8 3/8” (21 cm). ...................................................................................................................................750 578. ISLAMIC BRONZE DECORATED POWDER FLASK, ca. 18th Century AD. This is an unusually good example of Islamic metalwork in the form of a Northwest African, probably Moroccan, powder flask. The piece is meticulously decorated in a raised design. It has a circular body with a long neck for dumping powder in a muzzle loader. An excellent example of a more common Islamic type of metalwork wich is much less well-decorated. H. 6 1/4” (16 cm)............................................................700 579. ISLAMIC MIXED METAL TRAY, ca. 1900 AD. This is an unusually fine example of Mamluk inspired Islamic metalwork, often called Cairo-ware in its later touristy 20th century forms. This very well executed piece was most likely made in Damascus and is an exquisite example of mixed-metal inlay and Islamic ornament. The central image depicts a star, radiating outward, surrounded by a circular register of Koranic script. Dia. 13” (33 cm).............................................................................................800 580. JAPANESE KOMEI GOLD AND SILVER INLAID BOX, Meiji Period, ca. late 19th Century AD. This is a superb example of Japanese metalwork where the ancient tradition of craftsmanship formerly employed in swordmaking was turned to the newly developing export market during the Meiji Period. The piece depicts an exquisite landscape scene rendered in gold and silver on the lid with gold floral design on the sides. The piece is in excellent condition and somewhat large for a piece of Komei. L. 6” H. 1 3/4” D. 4” (15 cm x 4.5 cm x 10 cm)........................................1375 581. JAPANESE MEIJI BRONZE STATUE OF THE RYUJIN, ca. late 19th Century AD. In a beautiful example of Meiji sculpture work, exquisitely chased, this is a statue of Ryujin, or the dragon god, who was the traditional Japanese deity of the sea. He stands on a rock-work base in flowing robes holding a magical pearl in his right hand and a spear in the left. This is an excellent example of true 19th century Meiji bronze work. H. of figure 12 1/4” (31 cm)..........................................................................2750
