2nd-3rd century AD. An iron short dagger or pugio of 'Kunzing Type', with double-edged blade, the blade characteristically leaf-shaped with pronounced waist and a double longitudinal channel defining a rib, typical of this category; the iron grip would originally have been covered with bone or ivory, having inverted T-shaped grip plates with crescentic pommel. See Bishop, M. C. & Coulston, J.C.N., Roman military equipment, from the Punic wars to the fall of Rome, London, 1993; Kennedy, D., The twin towns of Zeugma on the Euphrates, Portsmouth, 1998; Ba?gelen, N. & Ergeç, R., Belkis/Zeugma, Halfeti, Rumkale, a last look at history, Istanbul, 2000; Bishop, M.

From the late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister; from her collection formed early 1960s-1990s. This dagger belongs to the last period of evolution of the Roman pugio, the so-called Kunzing type (from the German locality in which a hoard of these pugiones was found), and to the blades of the III period according to the Saliola-Casprini classification (Saliola-Casprini, 2012, nos.45,54"). Compared to previous types of the 1st-2nd century AD, the blade of this weapon shows a considerable size, up to 45cm and longer, showing a plain appearance and no decoration, even on the scabbard, when preserved. Fair condition.
Lot 444
16th-17th century AD. A gold D-section annular band with plain exterior, the interior with French inscription ' . . PRENES . EN . GREI .', The Anglo-Norman Dictionary glosses the phrasal verb 'prendre en gre' as 'to accept as a favour'; here we may translate 'graciously accept [this]', the phrase is conventional, part of the idiom of amour courtois, and found inscribed on various types of love-gift, often continuing, 'ce petit don' [this little gift]. Cf. Joan, E., English Posies and Posy Rings, OUP, London, p.43, for this inscription, minus the final 'I'; cf. The British Museum, museum number 2002,0501.1, for a ring with a very similar inscription and script dated 16th-17th century AD; cf. The Portable Antiquities Scheme Database, id. KENT-B71606, and PAS-3785E3, for rings with very similar inscriptions, dated 16th-17th century AD. 2.00 grams, 19.24mm overall, 17.40mm internal diameter (approximate size British N 1/2, USA 6 3/4, Europe 14.35, Japan 13) (3/4"). UK antiques market between 1974-1985. From the Albert Ward collection (part 2), Essex, UK. The miscellaneous love-token uses of the phrase include a late 15th century boxwood comb in the BM, another formerly in the Londesborough Collection, a medieval ivory mirror case in the Metropolitan Museum, New York, an early 16th century enamelled plaque now in the Historisches Museum, Basel, a pair of salt-cellars enamel-painted by Pierre Reymond c.1550, and a 15th century brass knife-handle now in the Victoria & Albert Museum. A manuscript of The Erle of Tolous written in the 1520s [Oxford, Bodleian, MS Ashmole 45 Part 1, f.2r.] includes a full-page presentation frontispiece depicting a well-dressed young man near a speech scroll that bears the phrase as PRENES: ENGRE, as he proffers a book (the manuscript itself) to a young woman. The fashion for using the phrase in amatory inscriptions seems not to have survived the 16th century, making that century the best estimate for dating this ring. In the medieval period many rings bore posy inscriptions in Latin or French, the languages frequently spoken by the affluent elites. Later, inscriptions in English became more usual, although the lack of standardisation in spelling might surprise the modern reader. The inscription is generally found on the interior of the ring, hidden to everyone except the wearer and most of the sentimental mottoes were taken from the popular literature of the time. In fact, love inscriptions often repeat each other, which suggests that goldsmiths used stock phrases. In the later 16th century, ‘posy’ specifically meant a short inscription. A posy is described in contemporary literature as a short ‘epigram’ of less than one verse. George Puttenham (1589) explained that these phrases were not only inscribed on finger rings, but also applied to arms and trenchers. The practice of giving rings engraved with mottoes at betrothals or weddings was common in England from the 16th century onwards, and continued until the late 18th century. Sources suggest that rings could be acquired ready- engraved, or alternatively engraved sometime after their initial production, by a hand other than the goldsmith’s. Joan Evans assumed that posy rings were principally used by/between lovers and distinguished four contexts for the giving of posy rings by one lover to another: betrothals, weddings, St Valentine’s Day and occasions of mourning. Samuel Pepys’ diary makes clear that posy rings might also mark the marriage of a family member, when bearers could even commission their own rings and chose their own mottoes from books. The rings could also function as tokens of friendship or loyalty. [No Reserve] [A video of this lot is available to view on Timeline Auctions Website.] Very fine condition.
