Lot 69
2nd-3rd century AD. A group of fittings from a cornu, a military musical instrument, comprising: a substantial bronze conical socket with long iron finial, lateral bows for fastening, one in the form of a female panther and the other in the shape of a blossom; a bronze finial with three lugs which would have been placed at the lower end.See Franken, N., Die antiken Bronzen im römisch-germanischen Museum Köln, Kölner Jahrbuch 29, 1996, 132f; see Beutler, F., Farka, C., Gugl, C., Humer, F., Kremer, G., ed., Der Adler Roms, Carnuntum und die Armee der Caesaren, Bad Voslau, 2017, pp.320-323, for similar pieces; similar cornu fittings with dolphins in place of the panther, in the Museum of Eskisehir (Doryleum) in Turkey; for the use of the cornu within Roman army see D’Amato, R., Roman Standards and Standard bearers, Volume I, 112 BC-AD 192, London, 2018.880 grams total, 7.2-25cm (3 - 10"). Property of an Austrian private collector; formerly with Hermann Historica, Munich, Auction 64, lot 3168, listed as a standard finial; previously owned by Harry Huttel, 1994; before that in a private collection, Vienna, 1980s; accompanied by with copies of the relevant Hermann Historica catalogue pages, and by a report by Roman military specialist Dr. Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10572-172368.Although previously classified as a standard finial, these magnificent fragments belong to a military trumpet, the cornu, forming the upper and lower extremities of the arm used for holding the instrument. The cornu usually consisted of a number of elements: a bell, seven tubular parts, two connecting pieces for the carrying bar (the ornamented extremities preserved here) and even the lateral spreader for stiffening or adjusting the lower segments. Besides the finds from the gladiator barracks in Pompeii, only one other complete preserved example is known, held in a private collection. The individual elements were made of different metal alloys (brass, gunmetal and tin-bronze), which meant that the instrument would have had a multicoloured appearance. [2] For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price Fine condition.
Lot 76
1st-2nd century AD. A substantial ornamental silver armour phalera with gilt detailing, embossed face of Gorgon Medusa to the centre with detailed eyes, eyebrows and mouth, strong nasal ridge extending towards the forehead, furrowed brow with a pair of wings emerging from the curly hair framing the face, a pair of snakes knotted beneath the chin; wide edge with beaded rim and wavy pointillé decoration; accompanied by a discoid bronze sheet to which the fastening pins were attached to.Cf. Jahn, O., Die Lauersforter Phalerae, Bonn, 1860, taf.1; Maxfield, V.A., The military decorations of the Roman Army, Los Angeles, 1981; D’Amato, R., Sumner, G., Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier: From Marius to Commodus, 112 BC-AD 192, London, 2009, figs.157, 254-255; D’Amato, R., Roman Standards & Standard-Bearers (1), 112BC-AD192, Oxford, 2018, p.54; D’Amato, R. & Negin, A., Roman decorated armour, London, 2019, p.150, fig.137.113 grams total, 8.8-12.5cm (3 1/2 - 5"). From the private collection of a London antiquarian; acquired from Coins and Antiquities, formerly known as D.J. Crowther Ltd, Mayfair, London, UK, in 1970; accompanied by an expertise by military specialist Dr Raffaele D’Amato; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10623-174245.Discoid military decorations usually depicted the heads of the gods, spirits of the underworld, birds and lions, Medusa being the most popular subject. Sets of phalerae, similar to those shown on monuments dedicated to Marcus Caelius, Quintus Sertorius Festus and Celer Allius, were found in Neuss, Lauersfort and Newstead. Our phalera finds parallel in similar examples from the magnificent Lauersfort set, echoing the decoration visible on the gravestone of centurion Caelius from Bonn, depicted with a corona civica on his head; the best-known silver military decorations of the early Imperial Age. The higher officers in the Roman army had the custom of wearing such rich suits of phalerae with the straps attached directly to leather garments or doublets, worn over their armour. One such example can be seen on the gravestone of the Aquilifer G. Musius (Jahn, 1860, taf.II; D’Amato, 2018, p.54), where the phalerae are worn over a leather structure like a doublet over the subarmalis. Wearing a double-padded armour under the doublet provided twice as much protection to the warrior and enhanced the phalerae worn over the doublet. These decorations were awarded in sets, commonly of nine, although the sources confirm that this was not an absolute rule. They were worn in a similar fashion to medals on the chest, attached to a leather harness of straps, which ran straight around and up and down the front of the chest, and continued over the shoulders and around the back where they were fastened with buckles (Maxfield, 1981, pp.92-93"). [2] Very fine condition.

Beschrijving, Analyse en Interpretatie van een Archeologische Vondstcategorie, Amersfoort, 2017, items NL-0446-11a-294, NL-1219-03a-002, NL-1225-01b-005, for prototypes.32 grams, 60mm (2 1/4"). From the collection of a Surrey gentleman; acquired 1970-1980.Legio XI Claudia, the eleventh legion was a unit of the Imperial Roman army, levied by Julius Caesar for his campaign against the Belgic Nervii tribe. During the turbulent period of the third century the legio had its headquarters in the Pannonia Inferior, but various detachments (vexillationes) of this legio operated in the western and eastern corners of the huge empire. Between 200 and 250 AD a vexillation was in the Pontus at Alma Kermen, while between 198-209 we have sources for another vexillation in Asia, at Aulutrene. In 297-298 AD, a vexillation of the legion followed the Emperor Diocletian in Egypt. Fine condition.

1947 Austin 8 SaloonReg. no. HXR 767Chassis no. 79796Engine no. 1A-106760Austin finally replaced the venerable Seven in 1939, with the new 8 carrying over the 900cc engine from the ‘Big Seven’ but otherwise being a new design, incorporating semi-unitary construction. With 24bhp, the 8 was never going to set speed records, but that’s not what it was meant to do – in the finest Austin tradition, it was intended as dependable family transport, and in that role it performed superbly. A robust car, it proved its metal in a filmed publicity exercise in 1939, where an 8 climbed all the main Lake District passes in the course of a day; many were unpaved, and in a condition that would render them impassable to any modern family car, but the 8 performed superbly. This rugged ability attracted the armed forces during the war, and over 9000 of the special Military Tourer model were produced for the army. Civilian production was halted in 1943, and when it resumed after the war the car was mostly unchanged, bar a few cosmetic differences. By the time production ended in 1948, 56,103 had been produced.This 1947 8 was restored several years ago and remains in good condition. The excellent interior was fully retrimmed and still presents well. Said to run and drive well by the vendor, this Austin may require some minor recommissioning prior to use; it is offered with some old MOTs and a V5C.Estimate: £3,000 – 5,000
