1st century B.C. Fusiform with reserved legend 'LXIII' (for LEGIO XIII = 13th Legion). Cf. D'Amato, R. and Sumner, G., Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier: From Marius to Commodus, 112 BC-AD 192, London, 2009, fig.32, p.45, for a similar glandes from Zaragoza Museum, from Munda battlefield; cf. also D'Amato, R., La Grande Storia delle Legioni Romane, Roma, 2021. 50.3 grams, 41 mm (1 5/8 in.). [No Reserve] Acquired on the UK art market. Property of a gentleman collector.The shot (Völling type 1C) is marked with the abbreviated name of Legion XIII, and was probably used at the Battle of Monda (or Munda) against Julius Caesar, 17th March 45 B.C., or against the sons of Pompey, because both the generals (Pompey sons and Caesar) had in their army a Legio with the numeral XIII on that day. Interestingly, other glandes of the same typology from the same battlefield bear the name of Pompey, so that it is much possible that the glans belongs to the Legio XIII of Pompey, who was destroyed during the battle and whose survivors were massacred among the 22,000 defenders of Cordoba by the troops of Caesar (D'Amato, 2021, pp.421 and 424). The projectiles were made of different materials: lead (glandes) or in pottery or stone (lapides missiles).

(2 1/2 x 2 in.). [No Reserve] Acquired in a Dorset/Somerset saleroom in the late 1950s. From the private collection of Colonel E.J. Martin (1911-1981) Indian Army and Artillery Regiment; collected since before 1954, and still with its original box with old information label. Identified by Colonel Martin's friend, the 'Keeper of Antiquities' at the British Museum.

2nd century B.C. A pugio military dagger with waisted leaf-shaped blade, rounded midrib, rectangular rivetted baluster, short grip with crescent pommel. See Bishop, M.C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 1993; Bishop M. C. & Coulston J.C.N., Roman military equipment from the Punic Wars to the fall of Rome, London, 2006; for identical specimen cf. Casprini, F., Saliola, M., Pugio gladius brevis est, storia e tecnologia del pugnale da guerra romano, Roma, 2012, p.103 no.1. 235 grams, 30.6 cm (12 in.). Ex North American private collection, 1970s-1990s.The pugio appeared as a side weapon of the Roman legionary in the 2nd century B.C. However, its full diffusion within the Roman army begun with Caesar and Augustus, where it appeared as the reserve weapon for the heavy infantryman. The present specimen belongs to the Celtiberian tribes who fought against the Roman army in the 2nd century B.C., but represents one of the first prototypes adopted from the Iberians by the Roman legionaries.

5th-6th century A.D. Comprising: a spatha-type two-edged tapering blade, lentoid in section with sloped shoulders and short tang pierced by an attachment rivet for the grip; traces to both faces of the blade of wooden fibre from the scabbard; edges lightly notched but substantially complete; the lower guard rectangular in plan and scaphoid in section with inset garnet cloisons, triangular along the lower row and heart-shaped above, rectangular at the top, with small rectangular slivers at each end; accompanied by the upper roundel of the pommel, set with four garnet cloisons. Cf. Menghin, W., Das Schwert im Frühen Mittelalter, Stuttgart, 1983, p.335, for cloisonné on guard; Zasetskaïa, I.P., Kul’tura Kotchovnikov iujnorusskikh stepeï v gunnskuïu epokhu (Culture of the nomads of the southern Russian steppes in the Hun Era), Saint Petersburg, 1994; Lebedinski, I., Armes et guerriers Barbares au temps des grandes invasions IVème au Vième siècle après J.C., Paris, 2001, pp.117ff., swords from Loutchistoïé, Novohryhorivka, Bátaszék, Jakuszowice, Szirmabesényo, Ártánd, Horgos; Miks, C., Studien zur Römischen Schwertbewaffnung in der Kaiserzeit, I-II Banden, Rahden, 2007; Kazanski, M.M., Barbarians at the borders of the Eastern Roman Empire (in Russian), Simferopol, 2024, figs.7, 12, pp.20, 23, p.31, pl.36, for similar cross-guards. 954 grams, 84.5 cm (33 in.). From the private collection of a London gentleman, from his grandfather's collection formed before the early 1970s. Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no. 12357-225921.These ‘ceremonial’ swords (in reality widely used in battle) with an inlaid guard are according to Kazanski Late Roman in origin. The cloisonné decoration was probably linked with the production of particularly ornamented swords in the ateliers of the Roman capital of Constantinople. This typology of weapon was not only produced as a gift for foreign chiefs allied to the empire, but it was also adopted by the Imperial army, and reserved for the Imperial officers, who were often of Germanic or Asiatic origin.

Celtic Britannia. Corieltauvi, Vepo(comes?) AV Stater.. Circa AD 15-40. [Wreath] / Lunate horse to left with triangular head, pellet rosette before, star below, VEP above. ABC 1851; Van Arsdell 905; BMC 3274-75; SCBC 407. 5.32gr, 21mm. Extremely Fine. Beautifully toned around the devices.Found Catterick, Yorkshire, UK.From a private Durham, UK, collection.For the ruler's full name see ABC note (p.96): Vepo- 'voice, word' is the first part of this ruler's name and -c[o]mes 'friend, companion, comrade?' could be the second part or it might - just might - be a Latinate honorific (see ABC 1869 note). The letter F for filius (Latin 'son') on many of his coins indicates that Vepo- was probably a son of Cor-, whose full name might be something like Corionos 'army chief' or Corrios 'the dwarf' (take your pick). Coins inscribed VEP directly followed the uninscribed South Ferriby series. Area date code: NE8-9.

England. Norman, Stephen AR Penny.. 1135-1154. York mint. Local and irregular issues of the Civil War. 'Ornamental' Group, Flag type. ✠ STIEP-E-N, crowned and draped bust to right, holding staff with flag or 'triple banner' in right hand; star to right of banner / Legend with ornaments, cross moline, lis in quarters. North 919; SCBC 1313. 1.03gr, 19mm, 12h. Very Fine. Very rare.Found near York, Yorkshire, UK, in the 1980s.Recorded by the Corpus of Early Medieval Coin Finds of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridgeshire, with reference no. EMC 2024.0424.From Martin Allen, The York Local Coinage of the Reign of Stephen (1135-54) in NC 2016, vol. 176, p.287-8: Mack adopted Packe's suggestion that the flag refers to the standard carried into battle at Northallerton in August 1138 by the army raised on Stephen's behalf by Archbishop Thurstan of York to fight David I of Scotland (1124-53), and that it was issued soon after the victorious conclusion of this Battle of the Standard, although Brooke had reserved judgement on this attribution. Boon offered an alternative interpretation of the Flag type, suggesting that it was probably based upon Stephen's seal (in use from 1139 to the end of the reign in 1154), which depicts a mounted figure of Stephen carrying a banner (gonfalon). The obverse (majesty side) seal has a star beside the king's head, and this is a motif also found on the Flag to the right of the flag. Seaby argued that the banner on York coins of the Flag Standard types is a papal gonfalon, of a kind sent by Pope Eugenius III (1145-53) to participants in the second Crusade of 1145-9, before the departure of the crusading armies and fleet in 1147. All of these interpretations of the Flag type are possible the York local coinage began in the mid-1140s, as Blackburn proposed.

Istanbul, circa 1860 A.D. Showing the standing Taxiarches (commanders of the Heavenly Army) Michael (A[rchangel] M[ichael]) and Gabriel (A[rchangel] G[abriel]); Michael dressed in pseudo-Roman scale armour worn over a garment with hanging pteryges, partially covered by his military cloak, the raised right hand holding a sword and the left hand resting on a shield; Gabriel dressed in long mantion (a cloak fastened under the neck), long court dress with embroidery, holding the messenger’s flower in one hand and the Globe of the Divine Power over the world in the other; floral frame; fabric mark in Turkish and Greek (ω) near the right shoulder of Saint Michael. Cf. for an icon of Virgin Mary in similar style, produced in 19th century Istanbul, Geelmuyden Bulgurlu, V., Ulf, A., Lindgren, N., Bodin, H., Balicka-Witakowska, E., Five essays on icons, Stockholm & Istanbul, 2005, fig.3, p.26. 285 grams, 16.2 x 12 cm (6 3/8 x 4 3/4 in.). Property of a London, UK, gentleman collector.The icon is from a workshop of Constantinople circa 1860 A.D. During the Turkokratia (the Turkish domination) the Orthodox inhabitants of Constantinople continued to trust their protection to the powerful military commanders of the Heavenly Host, the Archangels. Following the Slavic style, the icons were often covered by embossed silver plates (riza), generally reproducing the same figures on the painted wood.

Circa 2nd-4th century A.D. Comprising one round-section in deep blue, one similar in deep red, and a D-section in pale blue/turquoise. Cf. Ivleva, T., 'The origin of Romano-British Glass Bangles: Forgotten Artefacts from the Late Pre-Roman Iron Age' in Britannia, 2020, pp.1-46, fig.3, for similar. 14.3 grams total, 42-55 mm (1 5/8 - 2 1/8 in.). [No Reserve] Formerly with a Bournemouth gentleman. Ex Essex collection. Property of a Scottish collector, acquired in 2013.Bangles did not occur in a vacuum after the Roman invasion but were an integral part of globalising networks of cross-Channel trade and connections with the European mainland in the early first century A.D. According to J. Price bangles were first developed in southern Britain in the late Claudio-Neronian period (A.D. 43–65/70) and that in subsequent periods the craft of bangle-making quickly spread further north with the advance of the Roman army.

Circa late 2nd-4th century A.D. Featuring a compass and tweezers, free-moving collar to one arm, one arm with two oval terminals and one tapering to a point. Cf. Beutler, F. et al., Der Adler Roms. Carnuntum und der Armee der Cäsaren, Bad-Deutsch Altenberg, 2017, item 639, for type. 19 grams, 90 mm (3 1/2 in.). Acquired before 2000. From the collection of a European gentleman living in the UK.This instrument, a type of circinus formed of two flat-section arms, was widely used by masons and carpenters, as well as for making wall decorations for the preparation of repetitive elements such as spirals or circles. It was widely used by the agrimensores of the army, as is proven by a very similar specimen found in Carnuntum, the camp of the Legio XIIII Gemina.

1st century B.C. Fusiform with pointed ends, reserved 'LXIII' (LEGIO XIII = 13th Legion) legend. Cf. D'Amato, R. and Sumner, G., Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier: From Marius to Commodus, 112 BC-AD 192, London, 2009, fig.32, p.45, for a similar glandes from Zaragoza Museum, from Munda battlefield; cf. also D'Amato, R., La Grande Storia delle Legioni Romane, Roma, 2021. 55.7 grams, 51 mm (2 in.). [No Reserve] Acquired on the UK art market. Property of a gentleman collector.The shot (Völling type 1C) is marked with the abbreviated name of Legion XIII, and was probably used at the Battle of Monda (or Munda) against Julius Caesar, 17th March 45 B.C., or against the sons of Pompey, because both the generals (Pompey sons and Caesar) had in their army a Legio with the numeral XIII on that day. Interestingly, other glandes of the same typology from the same battlefield bear the name of Pompey, so that it is much possible that the glans belongs to the Legio XIII of Pompey, who was destroyed during the battle and whose survivors were massacred among the 22,000 defenders of Cordoba by the troops of Caesar (D'Amato, 2021, pp.421 and 424).

2nd-3rd century A.D. Hollow-formed with fluting to the shoulders and foliage panel to the underside, plaque with inset garnet cabochon bearing an eagle in three-quarter view gripping a lightning bolt, head turned, laurel wreath in the beak; supplied with a museum-quality impression. Cf. Ruseva-Slokoska, L., Roman Jewellery, Sofia, 1991, items 186, 211, for type. 11.80 grams, 30.64 mm overall, 17.06 x 12.36 mm internal diameter (approximate size British F, USA 2 3/4, Europe 3.67, Japan 2 3/4) (1 1/8 in.). [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website]From the collection of a deceased lady, 1990s. Ex London, UK, gentleman, 2000s. This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by a search certificate number no.12523-231876.This splendid intaglio of an eagle depicts what Pliny the Elder calls the: ‘most honourable and strongest of all birds’ (Naturalis Historis.10.3.1), and Aelian remarks that it possesses the ‘keenest sight of all birds’ (De natura animalium. 1.42). However, the animal was not revered in antiquity solely out of admiration for its natural attributes, it was esteemed during the Greek, Roman Republican and Imperial times as the bird that held the lightning of the sky god Zeus/Jupiter, whose identifying symbol is the thunderbolt and his primary sacred animal is the eagle. It is also a symbol of Victory, power and immortality, since it is associated with the passage of a deified emperor’s spirit into the world of the immortals. The primary military use of the eagle was as a standard, which comprised of a golden or gilded metal eagle, clutching thunderbolts in its talons, perched atop a long metal pole with a butt-spike for planting in the ground. Both Ovid and Plutarch place the inception of manipular ensigns with Romulus, where bundles (manipuli) of hay were tied to high poles which served as rallying points for units of the army. Eventually, icons of animals replaced these ensigns: the eagle, wolf, Minotaur, horse, and boar. In 107 B.C., Gaius Marius made sweeping military reforms and the Aquila became the sole standard of the legion, which according to (Pliny NH. 10.5.16) ‘By making the Aquila the standard for all legions improved unity and gave soldiers a symbol that expressed their attachment to an all-encompassing body, to which the soldiers’ loyalty could be directed’. Due to its place at the head of each legion, it became the emblem of the Roman legions, which enforced Roman rule in the provinces, giving the eagle its connotation of dominion.

A FLEMISH BIBLICAL TAPESTRY OF JUDITH AND HOLOFERNES BRUSSELS, 17TH CENTURY After Hendrik Goltzius, with Judith elegantly dressed, feather plumage to her hair, holding aloft Holofernes head and his bloodied sword, maidservant at her side, within architectural side borders with scrolling foliage, upper and lower borders with cartouches inscribed with text: "FORTITUDO JUDITH SAPIENTA CONFORTAT SAPIENTEM SUPER DECEM PRINCIPES CIVITATIS, ECCL VII" AND "APPREHENDIT CENIAM CAPITIS EIUS ET ABSCIDIT CAPUT EIUS, jud XIII" approximately 380 x 263cm Provenance: Acquired from Paolo Asta, Venice The composition and details would seem to be drawn from a woodcut print from 1600-1610 by Christoffel van Sichem I after Hendrik Goltzius (1558-1617) a painter, engraver and publisher in Haarlem. For comparison, please see an example of this print held in the British Museum (Museum number 1856,0614.131). This scene is taken from a series depicting the story of the heroine- Judith of Bethulia. Her city besieged by the Assyrians, Judith pretended to desert her people and was captured by the enemy. Attracting the attentions of its general Holofernes she took advantage of his drunken slumber after a feast, drew his sword and struck off his head. News of his death caused panic amongst his army and they fled- leaving Judith and her city safe. A very similar example of this scene, almost certainly woven by the same workshop and only lacking the text to the lower cartouche, is supposedly held in the French National Collections in Palais des Beaux-Arts, Lille, France but, at the time of cataloguing, this has not been confirmed. The text to the cartouches is loosely drawn from biblical text. The upper section is taken from Ecclesiastes chapter 7, verse 20 and exemplifies Judith's most important virtues to historians and readers of her tale- "Fortitudo and Sapienta"- strength and wisdom. "Sapientia confortavit sapientem super decem principes civitatis" (Wisdom makes one wise person more powerful than ten rulers in a city) The lower cartouche is abbreviated from verses 9 & 10 from Judith chapter 13: 9 Cumque evaginasset illum, apprehendit comam capitis ejus, et ait: Confirma me, Domine Deus, in hac hora." (And when she had drawn it out, she took him by the hair of his head, and said: Strengthen me, O Lord God, at this hour) 10 Et percussit bis in cervicem ejus, et abscidit caput ejus, et abstulit conopeum ejus a columnis, et evolvit corpus ejus truncum. (And she struck twice upon his neck, and cut off his head, and took off his canopy from the pillars, and rolled away his headless body). Condition Report: With wear, marks, and surface wear as per age, handling, use, and cleaning. The whole with characteristic slight muting to colours from sunlight and exposure but still retaining stronger pinks, yellows and shades of blue. Not rebacked and inspection from reverse reveals that edges have been wrapped slightly and then backed- visible main field from reverse showing holes from pulling to fabric, scattered small insect holes throughout. Lowest band to base probably later and some small areas of historic stitch repairs- mostly at good conservation level but of their time.

A GEORGE III TWIN-HANDLED CUP PATRICK ROBERTSON, EDINBURGH 1789 The tapered bowl with engraved foliate swag borders, crest, motto and initials to oval cartouche to one side and armorial to the other, slender scroll handles to a spreading foot with the coat of arms of the Earl of Perth and Latin inscription to the border  24cm high, 21.5oz Heraldry:The Arms of Drummond, Viscount Strathallan and the Arms of Murray of DollerieThe two distinct armorial bearings as engraved upon this George III Scottish Sterling Silver Twin-Handled Cup by Patrick Robertson hallmarked Edinburgh 1789 are those of Drummond, Viscount Strathallan and Murray of Dollerie in the County of Perthshire. They may be blazoned as follows:Arms: Quarterly 1st and 4th Or three bars wavy gules (for Drummond) 2nd and 3rd Or a lion’s head erased with in a double tressure flory counterflory gules (for Drummond – Arms of Augmentation)The arms are ensigned with a viscount’s coronet.Crest: A falcon close reguardant holding in the dexter claw a garland of laurel all properSupporters: On either side a savage wreathed head and middle with ivy with clubs held upon their exterior shoulders all properMotto: Virtutem Coronat Honos [Honour crowns virtue]Given the date of hallmarking of this cup these arms pertain to General Andrew John Drummond – the de jure 7th Viscount Strathallan1 (born 1758 died 20th January 1814). He was the second son of James Drummond, the de jure 5th Viscount Strathallan and his wife, Euphemia Gordon. He succeeded his elder brother, James Drummond, the 6th de jure Viscount Strathallan upon his death on the 10th December 1775. Andrew had a distinguished service in the army having served America under Sir William Howe in 1776 and the following year, and on the Continent in the campaigns of 1793 and 1794. He was appointed as the Governor of Dumbarton Castle in 1810. He was promoted to the rank of General on the 1st January 1812. He never married.Murray of DollerieArms: Azure a saltire between three mullets argent within a double tressure flory counterflory orCrest: Two hands clasped fessways issuing from clouds all properUnder the crest is engraved the monogram ‘AM’.Motto: Fides Servata [Faith preserved]Once again, given the date of hallmarking of this cup, the engraved monogram ‘AM’ would be that of Anthony Murray of Dollerie in the County of Perthshire (born 5th February 1772 died circa 1838). He was the son of Anthony Murray and his wife, Helen Murray of Ochtertyre in the same county and the grandson of Anthony Murray of Dollerie, the younger who was killed whilst on the Jacobite site at the Battle of Culloden in 1746.As this cup appears to be a presentation piece from the inscriptions engraved upon itsfoot, viz:‘A NOBILISSIMO ILLORUM INSIGNIORUM GESTATORE MDCCLXXXIX’This inscription appears to infer that this cup was presented by Viscount Strathallan toAnthony Murray of Dollerie in the year 1789.Whilst the further inscription:‘PIGNUS AMICITATIAE’Refers to being a pledge of friendship. It would appear that as both the Drummonds and the Murrays were Perthshire families and from the evidence of this cup that there was a close acquaintance and friendship between the two gentlemen concerned.

THE COLONEL CHARLES DE LAET WALDO-SIBTHORP SEAL A 19TH CENTURY HARDSTONE DESK SEAL The handle carved as a lion mask, to a fluted gold mount and collar, the oval bloodstone matrix engraved, Nil Conscire sibi in a garter border, enclosing four various crests, of Coningsby (a seated rabbit), Waldo (a demi-leopard), Sibthorp (a demi-lion) and Williams (a cockerel), the motto is that of Sibthorp.  9.5cm long  The Matrix Collection Charles de Laet Waldo Sibthorp (1783-1855)The antagonistic character of Colonel Sibthorp was a well-known figure within the House of Commons from 1826-32 and then 1835-1855 and was depicted in many Punch caricatures. He is particularly remembered for his anti-reform ideals, and opposition to change of any form, which at the time was fast past. He believed that any change was a sign of degeneracy for Britain. His strong views against the impact of trains and more so foreign influences noticeably offended Queen Victoria and her relationship with Prince Albert. Failing to graduate Oxford meant that Sibthorp joined the army instead, serving in the Royal Scots Greys first, and later with the Dragoon Guards during the Peninsular War. Serving during the Napoleonic Wars, until 1822, he then inherited his family estate at Canwick Hall in Lincolnshire where he married Maria Tottenham in 1812 and they had four children. The house was the seat of the Sibthorp family from the 17th to the 20th century.  

POONA - AN INDIAN PRESENTATION 'POONA REGATTA' CUP UNMARKED, 19TH CENTURY The deep gilt lined bowl with chased foliate border to the centre, engraved inscription ‘POONA ANNUAL REGATTA 1878 CHALLENGE FOURS’ with a list of names from ‘BOMBAY’, 'CALCUTTA', and 'POONA', to a knopped squat stem with beaded detail and foliate border to stepped circular foot  12cm high, 11oz  The Poona Boat club now known as the Royal Connaught Boat club can be found on Boat Club Road in what was known as Poona, now known simply as Pune. It was founded in 1868 ten years before this cup was presented and shows the deep connection with other boat clubs in India. After merging with the Royal Artillery Boat Club and the Kirkee Boat Club, in 1889, the club renamed itself ‘Poona Royal Connaught Boat Club’ to honour the Duke of Connaught, the then Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay Army.
