SYRIA, Decapolis. Dium. Septimius Severus. AD 193-211. Æ (3mm, 28.86 g, 12h). Struck CY 268 (AD 205/6). AV · K · ? · C?? C?OVHPOC ·, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / [?]TOYC H?C (date) above, ??[IH]–N?N below, bearded river-god reclining left on overturned amphora from which water flows, holding reed in right hand, cornucopia in left; tree in left field. Spijkerman –; Rosenberger –; cf. Sofaer 8 (Adraa). VF, earthen brown patina. Extremely rare. The left hand portion of the ethnic is very faint but the first two letters, which appear to be ??, are fairly legible. Very little of the legend on the Sofaer coin is preserved and it was presumably given to Adraa due to the river-god type the mint often used. That coin seems to have the ethnic above (only the end portion ...N?N is visible) and, presumably, a date below. The style, however, does not match the coinage of Adraa and the river-god on the known types is always accompanied by a figure of Tyche. Additionally, a date of 268, comporting with the Pompeian era, would be incompatible with the city (Adraa’s coinage is dated according to Trajan’s establishment of the Provincia Arabia in AD 106). At Dium, coins of Domna with her earlier hairstyle, a young Caracalla as Augustus, and Geta as Caesar are all known, each with portraits with bulbous heads, pointy noses, and recessed chins as on our coin. Year 268 was apparently the first year the city struck coins, based on the dates known for all other members of the imperial family.

PHOENICIA, Tyre. Trajan. AD 98-117. AR Tetradrachm (27mm, 15.06 g, 6h). Dated RY 12 (AD 108/9). AVT KAI N?POVA TRAIANOC, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Trajan right / C?B T?P (sic) ?KI (sic) ?HM ?? V? ?, laureate bust of Melqart-Hercules right, with lion’s skin tied around neck; L IB (date) below. Prieur 1524 var. (rev. legend); McAlee 456 var. (same). EF, toned, small scuff below Melqart’s chin. Rare and of exceptional style. There is good evidence that Rome and Alexandria were involved in the production of the Tyrian silver coinage under Trajan. This and a related issue (Prieur 1523; McAlee 457) are not only Alexandrian in style but use a form of dating that is characteristically Egyptian. Discussing these coins, McAlee (p. 191) notes: “Given the die link between a Group 1 tetradrachm and a bronze coin of Alexandria at the beginning of Trajan’s reign, it seems likely that Alexandria also produced dies or struck coins for Tyre in this instance. The reason on this occasion was probably that the tetradrachm mint at Tyre lacked the skilled engravers necessary to produce the dies, since it had been dependent on Rome for producing dies (and perhaps for striking as well) for its preceding issues.”

JUDAEA, Gaza. Caracalla. AD 198-217. AR Tetradrachm (25mm, 13.64 g, 2h). Struck AD 215-217. AVT KAI ANT–?NINOC C?, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / ?HMAPX ??

Prieur 1684 corr. (rev. legend) = Bellinger 377, pl. XXVI, 1 corr. (obv. and rev. legends; same dies); Sofaer –. Good VF, lightly toned. Extremely rare, only two cited by Prieur, better than the illustrated specimen. The heifer refers to Io, a nymph who was seduced by Zeus and transformed into the beast to escape the detection of his wife Hera. Io appears in anthropomorphic form fairly frequently on the bronze coinage of Gaza, although the city’s connection to the myth is unclear.

From the ‘AK Collection’. Reportedly ex August Voirol Collection, purchased privately from Frank Sternberg.A fascinating type with Helios saluting a winged bust of Serapis. Many references either do not describe the type, or have a different attribution for the winged bust above the horses (i.e. Eos flying left in a biga per Kellner). While the Kellner attribution certainly makes sense (Helios, the sun, flying toward Eos, the dawn), a survey of the few known examples seems to support this cataloger’s identification. A high-grade example would be needed to identify the type with any certainty.

Good VF, attractive brown patina. Rare and exceptional. From the RAJ Collection. Purchased privaely from CNG (CICF, 2009). Ex Classical Numismatic Group 78 (14 May 2008), lot 1509; Col. James W. Curtis Collection.Serapis was a syncretic god, a combination formed from Hellenistic Greek and Egyptian religious concepts. His name is of Egyptian origin and derives from a synthesis of Ausar (Greek, Osiris), the Egyptian god of the Underworld, and Hapi (Greek, Apis), a manifestation of the god Ptah. Under the Ptolemies, Serapis became the chief tutelary god and the subject of a royally-sponsored cult, whose emphasis on an afterlife made the worship of Serapis one of the more popular mystery cults. His immense popularity soon promoted his creation as Serapis-Pantheos, a hybrid deity incorporating other divine elements. In Alexandria, a large temple complex called the Serapeum was constructed that remained highly patronized well into the fourth century AD. Shortly after the imperial decree of AD 391, officially ordering pagan temples closed, the Serapeum was besieged, plundered and destroyed.

Alexandria saw an immense output of coinage during the eighth year of Antoninus Pius’s reign. The Zodiac drachms, mythological types, and a host of issues for the nomes appeared that year. One explanation for this activity centers on the celebration of the renewal of the Great Sothic cycle, the point when the star Sothis (Sirius) rises on the same point on the horizon as the sun. This cycle of 1461 years began early in the reign of Pius in AD 139, and apparently prompted a renewal in the ancient Egyptian religion, while the coin types also stressed the connections to the Greco-Roman Pantheon.
