This very rare type was struck during the final days of Magnentius when the city of Trier had revolted in favor of Constantius II.

The solidi of this rare issue are heavier than usual with this one weighing 4.56 rather than the usual 4.45g.; some examples are at an even higher weight. Kent notes in RIC that these may have been issued to contrast with the light weight solidi of Magnentius at this time and to show the stability of the legitimate ruler.

Provenance/Pedigrees

Ex: Sotheby, London, Auction, July 6-7, 1921, lot 132. This auction is cataloged as the property of a well known collector who was most likely Ernest John Seltman, the father of the famous numismatist John Theodore Seltman(1886-1957) as attested by Spring and Manville.

Ex: Sir Arthur Evans, Ars Classica, Lucerne, Auction XVII, 1934, lot 1936. The catalog lists this coin as coming from the Montagu collection which was sold in Paris in 1896, but this coin does not appear in the Montagu catalog. Perhaps this was a private purchase outside the auction by Evans from Feurdant in Paris who handled the Montagu collection of Roman gold.

This Dynast is unknown with the exception of his coinage. This is one of several Persian rulers who were in control of lands in Lykia and Cilicia  who issued coins with their portraits.  Normally portraiture in Greek art and coinage does not begin until the time of Alexander, c.330 B.C.   So, these early Persian satrapal issues are among the first portraits of living rulers on Greek coinage.  The fact that we have inscriptions with names associated with these Persian heads leaves no doubt that they are intended to represent the living ruler.

The Villa Publica was originally built c.435 B.C. on the Campus Martius to be used for taking the census. The Villa was enlarged in 194 B.C. and was used for the levies of the army, inspection of arms, and still for the census.  Generals returning to Rome were also housed in the Villa while they awaited a decision of the Senate if a triumph was to be declared.  (See: L. Richardson Jr, A New Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome, pp. 430-431.

The moneyer is probably a relative of the T.Didius, consul in 98 B.C., who restored the Villa Publica.  The moneyer may also have been a friend of Cicero as mentioned in Crawford.

Mussidius Longus, Rome, 42 B.C.   Wreathed head of Julius Caesar to right.  Rev.  L MVSSIDIVS LONGVS.  Rudder, cornucopia,  caduceus, and apex around central globe.   CR 494/39a. Syd. 1096a.  Sear, Greek Imperators 116.  Spectacular portrait of Caesar and of superb quality.

The portrait of the now divine Julius Caesar on the obverse was a powerful propaganda image for the forces of Octavian and Antony who were pursuing his assassins.     The reverse type symbolizes Rome's control over the globe(land and sea) with cornucopia and rudder, Caesar's office as Pontifex Maximus with the apex, and the happiness of the Roman people with the caduceus.

AR Denarius, 3.82g. 18mm. Actium mint(?). magistrate: D. Turullius. M ANTONIVS AVG IMP IIII COS TERT III VIR R P C. Bare head of Antony to right. Rev. D TVR(ligature). Victory standing to left holding wreath tied with fillets and palm. CR 545/1. Syd. 1211(R7). Sear, Imperator 387. RBW 1850. BMCRR East 228. Lovely dark cabinet toning and scarce.

This is the final portrait issue of Antony before his defeat and death. The obverse legend on this coin proclaims Antony's third consulship of 31 B.C. However in reality he had been deleted from the consulship roles the previous year by the Senate; the actual consuls for 31 were Octavius and Valerius Messala. The legend also lists an uncertain fourth imperatorship. The titles here seem to indicate a hopeful outcome at Actium. Further the magistrate, Decimus Turullius, who signs in a small monogram on the reverse was one of the last surviving assassins of Julius Caesar; he switched sides to Antony after Philippi.

Tarpeia facing with extended arms while being buried in shields. RIC 299. BN 157. Lightly toned and with an unusually well struck reverse with the inner detail of the shields visible.

The reverse refers to the legend of Tarpeia from early Roman myth. According to Livy, during the siege of Rome by the Sabine King Tatius, a Roman vestal virgin and daughter of the Roman commander, Tarpeia, offered the Sabines a secret entry to the city. She did this in exchange for what they wore on their left arms(i.e. jewelry). However, the Sabines not respecting any traitor buried her in their shields which were also carried on their left arms. Her body was then hurled from a section of the Capitoline Hill that became known as the Tarpeian rock and the site of later Roman executions.

Diva Sabina, AR(Silver) Denarius, Rome mint, struck by Hadrian c.138 A.D. to commemorate his wife Sabina (died in 136 or 137) 3.34 g; 18mm. DIVA AVG SABINA. Diademed, draped, and veiled bust of the deified Sabina to right. Rv. CONSECRATIO. Eagle standing on scepter with head to left. BMC 959 and pl. 66,5(same dies). RIC 420a.

This coin is struck in high relief from fresh dies and is almost certainly the finest extant example of Diva Sabina in a denarius. It is an example of the finest Roman portraiture of the early second century with the dies engraved by one of the best artists of the period. There is great subtlety in the modeling of the face and the folds of the thin veil over her hair.

Rev. Asclepius standing to left holding serpent staff; Telesphorus to left and goat to right. Greek inscription," Of noble and Macedonian origin."

Florian Haymann, Untersuchungen Zur Geschichte und Identitätskonstruktion von Aigeai im Römischen Kilikien (20 v.-280 n. CHR) , 101a.1(this coin listed)= Prieur 723 = SNG Levante 1741 (this coin). H. Bloesch, "Caracalla in Aigeai," in Congresso internazionale di numismatica Roma, 1961, vol. 2: Atti (Rome: 1965), pp. 307-8, pl. 23, 1 var. (date format)= Winterthur museum, G 4535. Gitta Kastner, Munich, Auction 4, November 27, 1973, lot 165 (this coin now in the British Museum= London, 1975, 0930.2 )

The sanctuary of Asclepius in Aigeai was already widely known by the 2nd century and mentioned by Serenus Sammonicus in his Liber Medicinalis. It was considered to be a triad with the Asklepions in Pergamon and Epidauros. Serenus was a tutor to Caracalla and Geta, but he was murdered in 211 during the purge of Caracalla. (Cf. Hayman, p. 157 and note 1085). Caracalla who suffered ill health visited the Askelpion in Pergamon in 214 and perhaps may have visited Aigeai on the same journey giving rise to an occasion for striking this issue.

An unusual and spectacular coin, being the finest of three known and the only example in private hands; attractive collection toning.

Four military standards. Cohen_. Gnecchi_. RIC VIII, 353, 50=Münzen und Medaillen, Basel, Auction 35, 1967, lot 143 (same dies). This appears to be only the second published example of this medallic heavy miliarense type and far superior in quality to the RIC/MM example which has a large flan crack. Spectacular quality and with lovely toning.

This type with four standard on the reverse is very unusual for the Constantinian coinage. Three standards or three palm branches are known for Constans. It is speculated in the MM catalog that the type may refer to the four sons of Constantine the Great. The fact that the two known examples are from the same set of dies would indicate a limited and special issue.

In 350, Nepotian and a small number of followers tried to regain control of Rome after Magnentius had murdered the emperor Constans and usurped power. They were successful in wresting control for a short period having killed Magnentius' praetorian prefect Anicetus and forced the urban prefecnt Titanus to withdraw from the city. Nepotian seized power and struck coins in gold and bronze at the city. However, his reign lasted for only 28 days until Magnentius countered by sending a force against him under the command of Marcellinus. The rebels were crushed and Nepotian as well as his mother Eutropia, a half-sister of Constantine, and other supporters were killed in a violent purge.

Provenance/Pedigree:

Ex: Münzen Auktion Essen, 1994, lot 317.

Panamara was a dependecy of Stratonikeia and contained an important temple to Zeus.   Labienus and the Parthians in 40/39  B.C. unsuccesfully attempted to capture both Stratonikeia and Panamara.    They were foiled at Panamara by an intervention of Zeus.  (See: Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites, 1976.).  This manifestation of Zeus is depicted on the reverse of the coin. 

A dedicatory inscription probabably for a sculptural group was found at Panamara and relates the details of Zeus' aid during the siege.  The Parthians fist attempted a surprise attack at night but Zeus illuminated the sky with lightining to alert the Panamarian defenders.   During a subsequesnt attack, Zeus enveloped the attackers in fog and a severe storm which caused great confusion within their ranks but allowed the defenders to be hidden in the fog with a resulstant slaughter of the attackers.  (See: Georgia Petridou, "Crossing Physical and Cultural Borders in the Battlefield: Amorphous Epiphanies and Divine Bilingualism"  pp. 155ff. in Borders, Terminologies, Idiologies, and Performances, Annette Weissenrieder(ed), 2016.

This coin is of the normal types for Antiochos IV, but a very rare denomination. There are two smaller relatively common denominations that are about half or less the size of this coin. It is in fact one of the heaviest recorded examples with the range listed by Houghton in SC as 58-83 grams and 32-45mm. The denomination is based on a 1994 article by LeRider and affirmed by Houghton in SC and referred to as AAA with corresponding smaller denominations of AA and A. Babelon refers to the three denominations as a decachalcon, octochalcon, and a pentachalcon.

Sabratha was a Carthaginian settlement from the fifth century B.C, but only struck coinage during the period of Augustus and Tiberius. The type is bilingual with the name of the city and magistrates in Punic on the obverse and the Latin inscription CAESAR on the reverse. The issues for both Augustus and Tiberius use the portrait of Augustus, but there are varying Punic letters and magistrate names following the ethnic inscription that identify the reign.

This very rare issue was struck during the siege of Thessalonica by the Normans and possibly slightly prior in preparation. The siege was August 6-24., 1185. The prior tetarteron obverse type of the Virgin was replaced with the warrior saint Theodore. The lis on Theodore's shield is the first time that this symbol appears on Byzantine coinage (see DOC IV, part 1, p. 344).

AR Zuz, 3.30g.  19mm.   Undated, attributed to year 3=134/135 A.D.  Overstruck on a denarius of Vitellius(?).  Paleo-Hebrew, "Simon" within wreath .  Rev. Paleo-Hebrew, "For the freedom of Jerusalem." One-handled fluted jug; laurel branch to right.  Mildenberg 104.7(this coin listed). Hendin 1422. Meshorer 283a.   Toned.

This is quite an unusual overstrike.  On the reverse there is the typical low relief under-type showing the outline of a head.  In addition there  is a high relief and well defined eye, nose, mouth, and chin that is under the ribs of the vase.   The host coin was probably struck twice or with a glancing blow in order to have the under-type visible in two reliefs.  The undertype appears to be a denarius of Vitellius, but it is not a certain attribution.

This coin is of the normal types for Antiochos IV, but a very rare denomination. There are two smaller relatively common denominations that are about half or less the size of this coin. It is in fact one of the heaviest recorded examples with the range listed by Houghton in SC as 58-83 grams and 32-45mm. The denomination is based on a 1994 article by LeRider and affirmed by Houghton in SC and referred to as AAA with corresponding smaller denominations of AA and A. Babelon refers to the three denominations as a decachalcon, octochalcon, and a pentachalcon.

Antiochos IV was the Seleukid King who oppressed the Hashmoenean Jews by trying to force them to adopt the Hellenistic culture and religion. This resulted in a revolt of the Jews known as the Revolt of the Maccabees. See more detailed image

There are some differing opinions with regard to the attribution of this coinage. Upon the death of Theoderic in 526, he was succeeded by his grandson Athalaric. However, since Athalaric was only a child, his mother Amalasuntha acted as regent. She was well educated, a patron of the arts, and continued a pro-Byzantine policy until the death of Athalaric in 534. She then shared power with her cousin Theodahad, but within a few months was deposed, exiled, and murdered.

The reverse monogram on this coin is the usual one for Theoderic, but he died just prior to the ascent of Justinian who is named on the obverse. Grierson in Medieval European Coinage, vol. 1 believes that Amalasuntha issued this type with the revived monogram of her father during her brief joint reign with Theodahad. Metcalf puts the issue to the next ruler, Witigis. However Witigis has silver coinage with his own name on the reverse continuing the concept introduced by Athalaric and would seem less likely to have reverted back to the monogram of Theoderic.
