CCXXV, 9, this coin; BCD 1616; BMC 14; Jameson 1255; SNG Lockett = Weber 4323, all from the same dies), dark toned, very fine and extremely rare. Provenance: Pozzi collection, Naville I, 14 March 1921, lot 1951; Bement collection, Naville VII, 23 June 1924, lot 1288; John Work Garrett collection, Bank Leu and NFA, 16 October 1984, lot 230; BCD collection (but not included in his auction sale); Adam Smith collection, Morton & Eden 66, 7 November 2013, lot 318. The rocks on which Hermes is seated have been associated with Mount Kyllini in the north east of Arcadia and the location of a sacred cave where Hermes was born. The drachms of Pheneos are rarer than the staters and all known examples are struck from a single pair of dies. J. Babelon in Traité (followed by the cataloguers of the Pozzi and Bement sales) suggested that the name ΘΗΡΙ could be the signature of the celebrated 4th century artist Therikles of Corinth (Traité III, p. 603) but this theory is no longer accepted. For the stater issued in parallel with the drachms and “signed” with a Θ see Schultz, S., Die Staterprägung von Pheneos, SNR 71, 1992, reverse die R1.
IRISH SCHOOL (c.1840)A View of a Barmeath Castle with Boating PartyOil on canvas, 40 x 65cmSigned indistinctlyBarmeath, a fine, mid-18th century house, belongs to the Bellow family, one of the earliest Anglo-Norman families to settle in Ireland and one of the few Catholic dynasties to retain some their lands. Although a genuine tower house remains embedded in the present house, in the 1830’s the 1st Lord Bellew, having remarried an heiress and revived the barony, “replaced rational good sense with wild baronial fantasy” and engaged an English engineer Thomas Smith to cloak the house in a pre-Disney nonsense with a flamboyant silhouette, mercifully preserving its excellent interior. The present lot, probably by a gifted amateur, records the completion of this exercise.Literature: Casey & Rowan, North Leinster in the Buildings of Ireland Series, p.152

Numismatic artistry flourished at the mint of Alexandria during the early years of Antoninus Pius’ reign with the introduction of an ambitious range of new reverse types. This coin is a rarity of the mythological series, alongside which the Labours of Hercules and the signs of the Zodiac were also produced. The reason for these strikingly different pictorial types has been examined by J.G. Milne, who suggests that a masterful Greek artist was active for a limited time at Alexandria, producing imagery previously unfamiliar to Egypt and later copied in a less expert style (speaking specifically about the Hercules series, see Pictorial Coin-Types at the Roman Mint of Alexandria, The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology 39, 1943). This artist seemed to work exclusively on bronze drachms which in comparison to smaller silver and bronze denominations were naturally preferable for these new medallic designs. The childhood of Achilles was only briefly touched upon in the Homeric cycle; it is not until much later that the story is embellished and his early years described at length. That Achilles was tutored by the wise centaur Chiron was mentioned in Homer’s Iliad, not an unusual upbringing for a mythical hero as many other heroes including Herakles, Jason, Perseus and Theseus were also trained by Chiron as youths. The work which is the most descriptive in presenting Achilles' time with Chiron on Mount Pelion is Statius’ unfinished epic, the Achilleid, published in the first century AD, which also covers his time on Skyros where he was hidden by his mother Thetis, disguised as a girl so that he might avoid his fated death should he go to Troy and war. Statius expanded upon the surviving Greek sources for Achilles’ upbringing with Chiron, portraying the centaur as more than a teacher and mentor, adapting his role into that of a loving foster father. Thus Achilles, when later describing what he ate when growing up, refers to Chiron as such: “thus that father [pater] of mine used to feed me” (2.102). Statius may have been following a theme begun by Ovid some years earlier; in Fasti (5.412) Achilles laments at Chiron’s death, saying “Live, I beg you; don’t leave me, dear father [pater]!” It was perhaps with such thoughts in mind that the engraver here portrays Achilles and Chiron: the old centaur drapes his left arm in an affectionate, paternal manner across the youth’s shoulder, a gesture which Achilles reciprocates, as the two walk together. Chiron carries Achilles helmet, while Achilles himself rests his spear across his shoulder, the point of which emerges on the far side of Chiron, behind him. It may be that we are invited to see in this scene the end of a day’s training: “Already at that time weapons were in my hand... Never would he suffer me to follow unwarlike deer through the pathless glens of Ossa, or lay low timid lynxes with my spear, but only to drive angry bears from their resting-places, and boars with lightning thrust; or if anywhere a mighty tiger lurked or a lioness with her cubs in some secret lair upon the mountain-side, he himself, seated in his vast cave, awaited my exploits, if perchance I should return bespattered with dark blood; nor did he admit me to his embrace before he had scanned my weapons” (2.106-128)”.
