See Emery, V.B., The Royal tombs of Ballana, Cairo, 1938; Waldbaum, J.C., Metalwork from Sardis: the finds through 1974, Sardis Monograph, Cambridge, 1984; Arena, M.S., Umbria Longobarda, la necropoli di Nocera Umbra nel centenario della scoperta, Roma, 1997, pp. 124-126; Miks, C., ‘Relikte eines Fruhmittelalterlichen Oberschichtgrabes?,’ in Jahrbuch des RGZM, 2009, 56, pp.396-538, in particular pp. 434ff, for similar examples.7 kg, 65cm (25 1/2"). Property of an English collector; acquired in the UK in the 1990s; accompanied by an archaeological report 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.10403-170290. These richly decorated folding chairs, so-called Sellae Castrenses, stayed in the tradition of old Romano-Italic insignia of the military command. It was especially common in the army and was mainly reserved for the generals. A distinction has to be made between the rather rare surviving specimens of Roman metallic chairs whose S-shaped curved frame recall elements of the sella curulis - i.e. the seat of Roman magistrates - and those with straightforward elements that correspond to the sella castrensis, a chair used by senior military personnel in Rome and Byzantium, already mentioned in use by emperors and generals in the classical Empire (Suetonius, Galba, 18"). Fine condition, restored.
Late Period, 664-332 BC. A bronze sarcophagus for a shrew, square in section and hollow containing the remains of the animal and with a model of it on the upper face; attached to an old collector's handwritten note mounted behind the piece in a wooden frame, stating: 'Mummy of the Mus Ar[..]a[.]us (Shrewmouse) sacred to Buto, goddess of the night: taken from a tomb at Memphis. See Herodotus, Interpa. 67. Q[uer]y: was the veneration for this creature derived from its traditional destruction of the army of Sennacherib according to Herodotus?' 128 grams, 17 x 11cm (6 3/4 x 4 1/4"). Property of a London gentleman; from a private English collection formed in 1980s; believed to be from a 19th century collection.[No Reserve] Fine condition.
Late 2nd-early 3rd century AD. A complete bronze female type sports mask of Robinson's Type E and of Mater Castrorum type, composed of two parts: the face mask with female features, the lips slightly parted, nose with ventilation holes, openwork eyes with delicately pierced rings forming the irises, hatched detailing to eyelashes and eyebrows, the falling wavy hairstyle that of a Roman Matrona, adorned with diadems, garlands and other jewellery, the hair divided into two sections, the first section framing the face and the second section worn as a wig over the other, attachment holes to the lower edge; the back part of the mask covered with curly hair, a small bun at the nape of the neck, the short neck guard with holes for fastening the lining, a fastening rivet to the top of the skull flanked by two small horns. See Robinson, R., The Armour of Imperial Rome, New York, 1975; Garbsch, J., Römische Paraderustüngen, München, 1979; D'Amato, R. and Negin, A., Decorated Roman Armour, London, 2017.890 grams total, 26-28cm (10 1/4 - 11"). From an important East Anglian collection of arms and armour; acquired from a Dutch private collection in the 1990s; previously in a Swiss family collection since before 1980; accompanied by an academic report 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. 10301-168686. As explained by Prof. A. Negin, female masks were the result of the ceremonial aspect of life in the Roman imperial army and were a cultural phenomenon. Consequently, it is rather difficult to interpret the purpose of each specific mask; however, in general, it is possible to discuss their basic functions associated with various ceremonial practices. Our mask, which finds assonance with a face-mask helmet of the same period from a private collection in Plymouth, Providence Academy, or with the three-part Pfrondorf helmet (D’Amato-Negin, 2017, figs.170, 262), could have been either of the well known types of female mask helmets in the Roman army, either a stylised representation of the Gorgon Medusa, or most probably representing the ‘Mother of the Camp’ (Mater Castrorum"). [2] [A video of this lot is available to view on TimeLine Auctions website.] Fine condition, restored.
Mid 1st-mid 3rd century AD. A double-edged iron sword of Pompeii typology with parallel cutting edges tapering towards the triangular point, battle nicks to the edges, shallow blood channel and long tang. See Curle, J., A Roman Frontier Post and its People, the Fort of Newstead in the Parish of Melrose, Glasgow, 1911; Bishop, M. C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 1993; Antonucci, C., ‘The Praetorians, the bodyguard of the Emperor Trajan, 2nd cent. AD’, in Ancient Warrior,1, Stockport, 1994, pp.3ff.; Feugère, M., Weapons of the Romans, Port Stroud, 2002; Bishop, M. C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 2006; Miks, C., Studien zur Romischen Schwertbewaffnung in der Kaiserzeit, I-II Banden, Rahden, 2007; for very similar specimens see Miks, 2007, n.A792 (Windisch, length 64 cm); A821 (Zwammerdam, length 71cm); A302 (Hofstade Steenberg, length 64cm); A369 (Korytnica, length 76.2cm); A354 (Klein-Winternheim, length 67cm).855 grams, 84cm (32"). Property of an English collector; acquired in the Netherlands before 2000; 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.10397-169266. This kind of sword was much more suitable than the older Mainz typology for the fight against the Germanic tribes, allowing the legionary to deliver equally successful blows by stabbing and chopping. The specimen in question presents a very elongated blade and it is possible that it was used as weapon from horseback, representing a sort of transitional type between the short gladius and the long cavalry spatha. Similar long Pompeii blades specimens have been found in the Barbaricum (Korytnica) and in military camp of Germania Inferior (Zwammerdam) and although at first sight they seem more similar to later spathae, they are examples of the great variety of weaponry existing inside the Roman army, and of the way in which its structure was able to adapt itself to its various military needs. They also present a noteworthy problem in regards of dating, because without a precise archaeological context, they can range from the 1st to the 3rd century AD (specimens from Windisch, Zwammerdam"). Fine condition.
Circa 300 AD. A double-edged spatha long sword of Illerup-Wyhl typology with excellently preserved blade, three blood channels running along its length, parallel cutting edges tapering towards the point; long tang. See Bishop, M.C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 1993; Miks, C., Studien zur Romischen Schwertbewaffnung in der Kaiserzeit, I-II Banden, Rahden, 2007; D’Amato, R., Roman army Units in the Western Provinces, Oxford, 2019; for very similar specimens see Miks, 2007, n.A146,36,37,43 (Illerup).1.1 kg, 98.5cm (38 3/4"). Property of an English collector; acquired in Netherlands before 2000; accompanied by an expertise by military specialist Dr. Raffaele D’Amato. The iconographic sources indicate that Roman swords underwent big changes in the later 2nd and 3rd centuries. Longer swords, more popular within Germanic and Celtic cultures, would have been useful for fighting on horseback, but they were soon spread among the infantrymen and massively produced in the Roman workshops, from which they were brought home by many barbarians after mercenary or auxiliary service in Roman army. This, together with the possibility of war booty, explains why the mass of these swords have been found in the territories of the Barbaricum. The graves and the ritual water deposits of the marshy areas of Illerup Adal, Thorsberg, Vimose and many other localities (Simris) have delivered a great amount of swords. Illerup has produced more than 400 well-preserved swords, some with rather unusual patterns. Dr. Miks refers to the spathae of the 'lllerup-Wyhl' type I as to a large group of blades which in terms of their proportions, dimensions and shape, are probably a mixture of blades of the more classical 'Straubing-Nydam' and 'Lauriacum-Hromowka' types of long Roman swords. They are one of the most complicate category of Late Roman swords and therefore difficult to clearly identify. Fine condition.
6th century BC. An iron dagger with hilt clad in sheet-silver and shaped as the head and neck of a horse, the mane of the horse in low-relief, large suspension ring to the side of the hilt; a sheet-silver mount with guttering mounted on a modern acrylic scabbard for display. See Schmidt, E.F., Persepolis II, Contents of the Treasury and other discoveries, Oriental Institute Publications Volume LXIX, Chicago, 1957; Zoka, Y., Arteshe Shahanshahi Iran Az Kurosh Ta Pahlavi (The Royal Army of Iran from Kurosh to Phalavil), Tehran, 1971; Head, D., The Achaemenid Persian Army, Stockport, 1992; Khorasani, M.M., Arms and Armour from Iran - The Bronze Age to the End of the Qajar Period, Tuebingen, 2006.495 grams, 43cm (17"). Previously in the collection of a respected gentleman, acquired before 1985; accompanied by an archaeological expertise by 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.10486-171119. According to Zoka, the Achaemenids did not use long swords but instead used short swords called akenakes, the length varying between 40 to 50 cm. The akenakes of the Median Guards from the Persepolis reliefs (east face of the council hall), are represented as straight daggers with a short hilt, without decoration. But the akenakes of the king’s weapon bearer (southern relief from the Persepolis treasury) has a heavily decorated sheath. Most of the swords and daggers found in Persepolis are made in iron and have hilts made in bronze, but some finds from Persepolis suggest also the possibility of hilts were made in silver. Fine condition.
8th-9th century AD. A large group of substantial silver horse harness fittings from the Khazar Empire, composed of ten round phalerae, presumably for the muzzle, nine rhomboid pieces for the reins, a buckle for the horse harness and a spherical pendant element for the antilina (anterior horse harness strap) or postilina (posterior horse harness strap"). See Artamonov, M.I., 'Sarkel i nekotoryje drugije ukreplenija v severo-zapadnoj Khazarii' in Sovetsknja Archeologija Vl, Moskva, 1940; Koestler, A., The Thirteenth Tribe, The Khazar Empire and its Heritage, Hutchinson, London, 1976; Pletnjeva, S.A., ‘Ot kochevij k gorodam (Saltovo-Majackaja kultura)’ in Materialy i lssledovanij a 142, Moskva-Leningrad, 1967; Pletnjeva, S.A., Die Chazaren, Leipzig, 1978; Pletnjeva, S.A. in Archeologija SSSR.

Dmitrij evskij archeologicheskij kompleks, Moskva, 1989; see similar artefacts in ????????, ?.?., ?????? ????????? ??????????, ?.: ????? ????????, 1999, pls.17-18.341 grams total, 16.5-90mm (3/4 - 3 1/2"). Property of a London businessman; acquired from L. W. in 2005; formerly in an old Israeli collection; this lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by AIAD certificate number no.10389-169248. The Khazar Kaganate, a Jewish potentate formed in opposition to the Christian Roman Empire of Byzantium and the Muslim Arab Caliphate, stretched from the foothills of the Caucasus and the Lower Volga region to the Middle Dnieper in 8th-10th centuries. Their economy was characterised by a complex agricultural and cattle breeding system. The process of mass settling of nomads is reflected in the numerous settlements and burial grounds of the so-called Saltovo-Mayatsk culture, traces of which have been unearthed in the form of permanent unfortified settlements, fortified settlements with earthen ramparts, castles with remnants of stone walls, and fortress cities. Many Black Sea cities were revived under the rule of Khazaria, including Phanagoria and Tamatarhi-Tmutarakan. Particularly skilled in martial arts and weaponry, the Khazars created a powerful army whose military technology influenced Byzantium and the Islamic world in the sphere of war, trade and diplomatic relationships.
