From a private collection; formed 1965-1975. Cf. Hattatt, R. Brooches of Antiquity, Oxford, 1987, item 1268. For the Greeks and Romans fortune was more than just a concept and she was imagined as a goddess that you needed to keep on your side in case she turned against you. In Greece she was called Tyche and was believed to be the protector of cities across the Mediterranean, most famously depicted in the statue of the Tyche of Antioch which became the model for all other Greek cities. As well as affecting the fortune of entire cities the goddess also watched over individuals and images of her were popular in the shrines each household usually had. The Roman Fortuna was originally a fertility deity and due to contact with the Greeks she eventually took on the roles of the Greek goddess. At her sanctuary in Praeneste, a short distance from Rome, she was worshipped in a temple built on the model of the great Hellenistic royal palaces, where her primary role was the protector of newborn children. She is commonly depicted standing and holding a cornucopia, representing the abundance of good luck she could bring, and a rudder with which she could steer the course of an individuals life. She was commonly associated with the Imperial family and she was prayed to for the continued prosperity of the Emperor, and thus of the Empire as a whole.

BARNETT PANZER II CROSSBOW with six bolts, rear adjustable sight and boxed

An antique English manufactured crossbow with a 32" overall length, it incorporates an extremely interesting cocking system whereby the mushroom shaped knob situated in the top of the butt when lifted, the whole of the trigger mechanism emerges from the stock allowing the curved hook to engage with the drawn bowstring, as the knob is pressed down into the butt it torsions the draw string and an oval plate situated above the lock mechanism prevents it slipping off the hook until it is fired, it is fitted with a hinged folding foresight, a careful examination of the oval plate revealed the name S. Cartwright, Cow Market, Bolton engraved on it whilst the end of the trigger guard is engraved with a pineapple design used by Gunmakers, S. Cartwright is listed as a Gunmaker in Bolton in 1833, it will be noted the bowstring is missing.
