Sicily, Syracuse. Deinomenid Tyranny. Silver Tetradrachm (17.45 g), 485-466 BC. Struck under Gelon I, ca. 480/78-475 BC. Charioteer, holding reigns and kentron, driving slow quadriga right; above, Nike flying right crowning horses with wreath. rev. ΣVRAKOΣI-ON, diademed head of Arethusa right, wearing pearl necklace; around, four dolphins clockwise. Boehringer - (V45/R-; rev. die not recorded); Randazzo 257 (same dies). A splendid example of fine archaic style. Boldly struck and well centered. Underlying luster present, all delicately toned. Superb Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $2,000 From the Dionysus Collection. Despite the legend naming the Syracusans as the issuing authority, this gem of early Classical Syracusan coinage was struck while the city was controlled by the Deinomenid dynasty of tyrants. The dynasty was founded by Gelon, who first assumed power as tyrant in Gela in 491 BC before seizing Syracuse in 485 BC. The expansion of the territory under his control and a great victory over the Carthaginians in 480 BC were instrumental in raising Syracuse to the status of preeminent city in Greek Sicily. The greatness of Syracuse only increased under Gelon's successor, Hieron I. Hieron defeated a combined Carthaginian and Etruscan army at Cumae in 474 BC and won the chariot race events at both the Pythian Games in 470 BC and the Olympic Games in 468 BC, one or both of which might be commemorated by the obverse type of this coin. Unfortunately, the Deinomenid tyranny also became increasingly oppressive under Hieron I and not long after his death in 466 BC, a series of revolutions at Syracuse and other cities overthrew the Deinomenids in favor of new democratic constitutions.

Sicily, Selinos. Silver Tetradrachm (17.04 g), ca. 440-430 BC. ΣEΛ-IN-[ONTION], Artemis, holding reins, driving quadriga right; beside her, Apollo standing, drawing bow; in exergue, grain ear. rev. Σ-EΛ-INONTI-ON, Selinos standing left, holding phiale over altar and laurel branch; on base of altar, rooster standing left; behind, selinon leaf above bull standing left on basis. Schwabacher 26; SNG ANS 700 (same dies). Excellent detail and fine style, lightly toned. Very Rare. Choice Very Fine. Estimated Value $2,500 From the Dionysus Collection.Ex CNG 66 (19 May 2004), lot 126. Selinos was founded as the westernmost of the Greek colonies on Sicily around 628 BC and named for the large quantities of wild celery (selinon in Greek) that grew in the vicinity. Its location and the ambitions of the city frequently brought it into conflict with the neighboring Elymian (indigenous non-Greek) city of Segesta. These conflicts ultimately proved to be the undoing of Silenos as the beleaguered Segestans looked for external help. Silenos narrowly avoided attack by the ill-fated Athenian expedition in 415 BC, but were not so fortunate when the Segestans called in Carthaginian support. The Selinuntines were defeated by a combined Punic and Segestan force in 410 BC, but in the following year a vast Punic army arrived and destroyed Selinos, killing some 16,000 citizens and enslaving 5,000 more. The present tetradrachm was struck at at the zenith of Selinos' wealth and power, when the disasters wrought by Segesta and the Carthaginians still lay decades in the future.

Sicily, Syracuse. Agathokles. Gold 50 Litrai (4.31 g), 317-289 BC. Issued Ca. 317-311/0 BC. Laureate head of Apollo left. rev. ΣYP-A-K[O]-ΣIΩN, Charioteer, holding kentron and reins, driving galloping biga right; below, triskeles. Bérend pl. 9, 1; BAR issue 1; SNG ANS 552. Beautiful style and lustrous metal. Superb Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $3,000 From the Dionysus Collection. This beautiful gold 50 litrai or decadrachm was struck by Agathokles early in his career as tyrant of Syracuse. It belongs to the period between his return from exile to Syracuse at the head of a mercenary army in 317 BC and his defeat by the Carthaginians at the battle of the Himera River in 311 BC, during which time he managed to gain control of many of the other Greek cities of Sicily. Although he ruled Syracuse as tyrant, this coin reflects the oath to uphold the democratic constitution of Syracuse that he cynically swore upon entering the city in 317 BC. Although Agathokles was fully in control, the legend on the coin names only the corporate body of the Syracusans as the issuing authority. Still, the tyrant did not openly trample on his oath until 304 BC, when he began to style himself King of Sicily. The Apollo and biga types are modeled on those of the staters of Philip II - types that were much in demand by mercenaries - but the additional triskeles on the reverse makes it clear that the coin is a Sicilian issue. The triskeles with its three legs long served as an emblem of the three-cornered island of Sicily.

Aitolia, Aitolian League. Silver Stater (10.60 g), ca. 250-225 BC. Head of Apollo to right, wearing oak wreath; below neck, ΦI. rev. AITΩΛΩN, Aitolos, with petasos resting on back and sword held under his arm, standing left, foot resting on pile of rocks, holding spear; in left field, Δ. Tsangari 36g, dies D24/R-; BCD Akarnania 444 (same obv. die); SNG Fitzwilliam 5402 (same obv. die); Dewing 1469 (same obv. die). Boldly struck in high relief and lustrous. Delicately toned. An incredible specimen! Nearly Mint State. Estimated Value $2,500 From the Dionysus Collection. The Aitolian League was a relatively minor tribal confederacy in a wild mountainous region of northern Greece in the fifth century BC, but came of age in 323 BC when it successfully resisted the Macedonian regent Antipater. It was subsequently catapulted to greatness when it organized the defense of Delphi against the marauding Galatians (Celts) in 279 BC. This victory set the League on the path to absorbing the cities and states of mainland Greece, often at the expense of Macedonian interests and those of the rival Achaean League. The Aitolian League was known for its establishment of standardized weights and measures and the use of a common currency throughout the many cities included within the federal state. The present stater is a prime example of Aitolian federal currency, probably struck to finance the League's losing conflicts against Philip V of Macedon in the Social War (220-217 BC) and the First Macedonian War (215-205 BC) or the disastrous Aitolian War (191-189 BC) against the Romans. Despite having the support of a grand Seleukid army led by Antiochos III, the League was defeated and forcibly dissolved by the Romans.

Q. Caecilius Metellus Pius. Silver Denarius (3.68 g), 81 BC. Mobile military mint with Sulla's army in northern Italy. Diademed head of Pietas right; to right, stork standing right. rev. IMPER, jug and lituus within laurel wreath. Crawford 374/2; Sydenham 750; Caecilia 44. Well struck, well centered and lustrous. Nearly Mint State. Estimated Value $750 Ex Nomos 5 (25 October 2011), 219;Ex Exceptional Roman Denarii Coll. #3030. Q. Caecilius Metellus Pius came from one of the most important and wealthiest families of Rome. Beginning in the 3rd century BC, his family held numerous consulships, tribunates, censorships and military commands. His father, Q. Caecilius Metellus Numidicus, was the chief commander in the Jugurthine War in Numidia until Marius displaced him, and was later censor until driven into exile by Marius. The obverse of this coin portrays the goddess Pietas and alludes to the moneyer's cognomen, Pius. The moneyer acquired the honorable title from the people of Rome, whom he had beseeched in order to secure the restoration from exile of his father. The reverse probably refers to an unattested augurate of the moneyer's father, but may also allude to Sulla's holding of the augurate in ca. 82 BC (cf. Crawford p. 374).

Such large pieces were struck, as the largest silver currency pieces ever issued in the British series (in the pre-decimal era) to be originally given as Royalist gifts to senior officers in the cavalier army of Charles I. They were highly prized and struck to a very high standard of silver content as pieces of some of the finest engraving work of the era. Highly coveted by the few who received them, the finest emanation of which is this final "cartouche" type struck in 1644. The abbreviated Latin legends translate as on obverse "Charles by the grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland," and on the reverse the cartouche Declaration as Charles I gave to the Privy Council at Wellington, Shropshire on 19th September 1642 as "The Religion of the Protestants, the Laws of England, the Liberty of Parliament" which when shown in full Latin should read "Religio Protestantium Leges Angliae Libertas Parliamenti," the outer legend translates as "Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered," a Psalm from the Bible.

Sicily, Himera. Silver Tetradrachm (17.52 g), ca. 409-407 BC. Signed by the artist Mai… maestro della foglia ("Master of the leaf"). Charioteer, holding reins in both hands, driving fast quadriga right; above, Nike flying left, crowning charioteer with wreath and holding tablet inscribed MAI; in exergue, ketos left. rev. [I]MERION (retrograde), Himera standing facing, head left, sacrificing out of patera over horned altar and raising arm; to right, satyr bathing in fountain beneath lion-headed spout. Gutmann-Schwabacher 20; Arnold-Biucchi 22; Rizzo pl. 21, 23; Basel 306; Kraay-Hirmer 71. Lustrous and lightly toned. Mint State. Estimated Value $8,000 From the Dionysus Collection. This tetradrachm belongs to the celebrated Sicilian tradition of coin dies signed by their highly skilled engravers. The MAI who signed this issue also signed dies that he engraved for Syracuse. So-called maestro della foglia because of the high classical artistry of the artist's dies and his penchant for "signing" them with an olive leaf. The coin was produced at the same time that the engravers of Syracuse were signing their dies with their names and reflects the same milieu of justified pride in the production of miniature masterpieces. Like other contemporary engravers, the maestro della foglia did not limit his work to the coinage of a single city. In addition to issues to issues of Katane, he also appears to have engraved dies for the coinage of Piakos. Despite the high artistry of the coin, it was struck on the eve of disaster for Himera. In 410 BC, a Carthaginian expeditionary force under Hannibal Mago intervened in a conflict between Segesta and Selinous which resulted in the defeat of the latter and the destruction of Selinous in 409 BC. Although not part of his mandate, Mago followed this victory by besieging and destroying Himera in revenge for the defeat of his grandfather by the Himerites some 60 years earlier. This tetradrachm may have been hopelessly struck in part to hire mercenaries and improve the poor fortifications of Himera in response to the threat of the Carthaginian army.

Unfortunately, the wily Herod was not so easily defeated and returned in 39 BCE armed with recognition as the Roman client-king of Judaea. The hapless Mattathias II was ultimately defeated and crucified for his troubles, leaving Judaea to begin a new period in its troubled history under the often hated Herodian dynasty.

Cyrenaica, Cyrene. Ophellas, Ptolemaic Governor. Gold Stater (8.61 g), first reign, ca. 322-313 BC. Polianthes, magistrate. KYPANAION, Nike, holding kentron and reins, driving slow quadriga right. rev. ΠOΛIANΘEYΣ, Zeus-Ammon standing facing, head left, holding patera and lotus-tipped scepter; in left field, thymiaterion. Naville 104; SNG Copenhagen 1210 Pozzi 3271. Very Fine. Estimated Value $3,500 This stater was struck at Cyrene under the Ptolemaic administration headed by Ophellas. He had served in the army of Alexander the Great and took part in that king's celebrated Indian campaign, but after Alexander's death in 323 BC he followed Ptolemy I Soter, who took control of Egypt. When a civil war broke out in the Cyrenaica in 322 BC, Ptolemy sent Ophellas with an army to claim the region for the Ptolemaic kingdom. This he did and assumed the position of Ptolemaic governor, which he held until 309/8 BC except for a brief Cyrenean revolt in 313 BC. The Nike in quadriga obverse type may perhaps refer to Ophellas' victory in the civil war and serve as a slight nod to the popular and widely circulating charioteer staters of Philip II. The reverse depicts Zeus Ammon, the oracular deity for which Cyrene was most famous. So high was the renown of the god and his prophecies that Alexander the Great himself had made a special journey to visit the oracle at Siwah.

The Hendin plate coin. NGC grade F; Strike: 2/5, Surface: 2/5. Scratches. Estimated Value $5,000 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. The Bar Kokhba War (132-135 CE) broke out when Hadrian decided to refound Jerusalem - still largely ruined from the disastrous Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE) - as the pagan city of Aelia Capitolina. Although Jewish discontent had already erupted into violence in the Diaspora during the reign of Trajan, the Jews of Judaea seem not to have risen up against the Romans until this threatened abomination against the site of the Temple and the surrounding Holy City. The leader of this new rebellion, which took the form of a bloody guerilla war, was a certain Simon bar Kokhba who had messianic pretensions and gained a reputation as a great warrior. Unfortunately, although Bar Kokhba managed to make Hadrian pay dearly for Aelia Capitolina, when the emperor assembled an army of six full legions to invade Judaea in 134 CE the rebellion was soon crushed. In punishment almost the entirety of Judaea was laid waste by the victorious Romans and the Jewish population destroyed or driven out. In order to fund the rebellion, Bar Kokhba and his supporters used what circulating coins they could find or capture from the Romans and restruck them with new types more suitable for their revolutionary purposes. The most remarkable and desirable of the new types were used for the silver sela overstruck primarily on Syrian and Phoenician tetradrachms. The obverse features a depiction of the façade of the Jerusalem Temple with an uncertain object inside, which has been variously interpreted as the show bread table or the Ark of the Covenant. It has been suggested that the Bar Kokhba rebels actually intended to rebuild the Temple, but the presence of either the show bread table or the Ark - items lost at the end of the Jewish Revolt or earlier - seems to imply that the image represents the idea of the Temple to rally support rather than any real edifice planned by the Bar Kokhba rebels. The reverse type looks back to the coinage of the Jewish Revolt in its depiction of the lulav and etrog associated with the Festival of Tabernacles.
