Crete, Knossos AR Drachm. Circa 350-220 BC. Laureate head of Apollo left / Diademed youthful male figure (King Minos?), wearing drapery over his lower limbs, seated to left on a square labyrinth, holding Nike in extended right hand and sceptre with left; monogram to left, AΓEI (= gifts?) in the exergue. Le Rider, Crete, plate 35, 6 (this coin); Svoronos 88, pl. VI, 15; BMC 28, pl. V, 14 (same reverse die); Jameson 2519 (same reverse die). 4.88g, 2mm, 12h. Very Fine; old repair below eye. Very Rare, only one other example on CoinArchives. Ex Northern California Collection; Privately purchased from Freeman & Sear, 2003; Ex Numismatica Ars Classica 18, 29 March 2000, lot 189. The possible identification of the ambiguous reverse as the legendary king Minos rests largely on the youthfulness of the figure together with his being seated upon the labyrinth of Daedalos, built to house the Minotaur. Though we are all familiar with the myth of king Minos, Theseus and the Minotaur, the extent of historical fact behind this story is uncertain, and excavations of the Minoan palace complex at Knossos has revealed no such structure. The explorer Arthur Evans, during his investigations of the site in 1900-1903, prompted by the enormity of the scale and intricateness of the architecture postulated that the palace itself was the origin of the mythological labyrinth. This theory is supported by the close association of the word ‘labyrinth’, which is a pre-Greek word of Minoan origin, with the Lydian word ‘labrys’ (double-axe); the labrys motif appears frequently at the Knossos palace complex, and excavations have unearthed many ancient ceremonial double-axes among grave-goods there. Whether there is a kernel of truth to the myth we may never know, but in the critically acclaimed bildungsroman ‘The King Must Die’ (published 1958) by Mary Renault, the author constructs an archaeologically and anthropologically plausible story that might have developed into the myth, presenting the palace at Knossos of the kings who are always called Minos as the Labyrinth, the king’s son Asterion - the swarthy product of an adulterous union between his unfaithful wife Pasiphae and an Assyrian bull-dancer - as the ceremonial bull-mask wearing Minotauros (signifying heir to the throne), and the winding passages of vaults and store-rooms beneath the palace, through which Theseus must escape with the assistance of Ariadne, as the maze which he negotiates with the help of Ariadne’s thread.
Cilicia, Tarsos AR Stater. Circa 440-420 BC. Bellerophon riding Pegasos to left, preparing to hurl spear at chimaera, lunging upward at him from below / Nergal standing left, holding axe in right hand, left hand raised with open palm facing upward; NRGL TRZ (in Aramaic script = "Nergal of Tarsos") across upper field, grain ear to left, small tree to right; all in dotted square within incuse square.

Julius Caesar AR Denarius. Military mint moving with Caesar, 48-47 BC. Diademed female head right, wearing oak-wreath, cruciform earring, and pearl necklace; LII behind / Trophy of Gallic arms; axe surmounted by an animal's head to right; CAESAR below. Crawford 452/2; CRI 11; RSC 18. 3.83g, 19mm, 7h. Virtually as struck. Ex Auctiones 17, 7 June 1988, lot 493; Ex Leu 30, 28 April 1982, lot 265. Since the numerals behind the obverse head have long been recognized to represent Caesar's age at the time, this denarius was struck shortly after the battle of Pharsalus, where Pompey met his ultimate defeat, and Caesar became master of Rome. The reverse deliberately references Caesar's Gallic victories, rather than his recent victory over fellow Romans, the celebration of which would have been distasteful; Caesar's conduct after the battle was similarly conciliatory - he forgave the large part of Pompey's officers and army. The depiction of this female portrait wearing the corona civica, or oak wreath, however, may be a subtle allusion to his Pompeian victory. This award was granted to any citizen who had personally saved the life of another citizen; in this case, Caesar had saved the citizen-body of Rome and the Republic from further civil war.
Constantius II AR Ingot of 1 Roman Pound. Circa AD 337-361. Shaped like a double axe-head with flaring blades, thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges; stamped with an obverse die of Constantius II (D N CONSTANTIVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right); IVLI chiselled above / Blank; large silver plug, adding metal to raise the weight. Manhattan Sale III, 225 (also of Constantius II, and also with IVLI inscribed); for similar double-axe shaped ingots, cf. Collingwood and Wright, The Roman Inscriptions of Britain (1965), 2402.4, p. 30; cf. Guide to the Antiquities of Roman Britain (1964), p. 46, fig. 21.b.4 = BM OA.247; cf. Painter, Two Roman Silver Ingots from Kent, Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 97 (1981), pp. 201-207. 343.45g, 117mm x 63mm (at widest point). As made. Extremely Rare, one of approximately 50 known such ingots, of which only a very few are in private hands. From a private European collection. Silver ingots like this one were used to pay soldiers and civil servants from around AD 305. The accession donative, at least between AD 361 and 518, is known to have been five gold solidi and one pound of silver per man for the rank and file (Ammianus Marcellinus, XX, 4.18). Officially, stamped ingots therefore occur fairly frequently in the fourth century, however ingots stamped at an imperial mint and bearing the emperor's portrait and titles are extremely rare; only six others are known - the Manhattan Sale example, and five all in the name of Magnentius (two found at Emona and three found at Kaiseraugst), all now in museum collections: see H.A. Cahn, Der spatromische Silberschatz von Kaiseraugst, 1984, pp. 324-329. The government department responsible for the collecting of taxes and levies was the Sacrae Largitiones, to which naturally fell the responsibility of also redistributing the gold and silver to the soldiers and officials. The Comes sacrarum largitionum "Count in charge of the sacred distributions" is possibly the IVLI named on this ingot, and the Manhattan Sale example.

Horse left, grazing with head lowered; above, cicada left / Sandal of Jason left, double axe above, ΛARISAION around from lower left; all within incuse square.
