The Social War, Marsic Confederation AR Denarius. Bovianum(?), 89 BC. Laureate head of Italia left; VITELIV (= ITALIA) retrograde in Oscan script behind / Soldier standing facing, head right, foot on uncertain object, holding inverted spear and sword; facing recumbent bull to right, retrograde [N] in exergue. Campana 120; RBW 1218; HN Italy 407. 4.09g, 21mm, 5h. Good Very Fine. Rare. Ex E. E. Clain-Stefanelli Collection. This type was struck during the struggle for independence against the dominant leadership of Rome that we know today as the Social War (91-88 BC). The Marsic Confederation consisted of allied Italic peoples such as the Marsi, Peligni, Piceni, Vestini, Samnites, Frentani, Marrucini, and Lucani. The coins not only helped pay for the troops, but were also used as propaganda against Rome.
Q. Servilius Caepio (M. Junius) Brutus Fourrée Denarius. Military mint travelling with Brutus in Asia Minor or Northern Greece, summer-autumn 42 BC. L. Plaetorius Cestianus, magistrate. Bare head of Brutus right; BRVT above, IMP to right, L•PLAET•CEST around / Pileus between two daggers pointing downward; EID•MAR below. Crawford 508/3; CRI 216; RSC 15; G&M 208, 1957 (same dies, also fourrée). 2.72g, 19mm, 1h. Near Very Fine. Very Rare. In the summer of 42 BC Brutus and Cassius marched through Macedonia and in October met Antony and Octavian in battle on the Via Egnatia just outside Philippi, and won the first engagement. Cassius, as his conservative coins show, remained true to the old republican cause, while Brutus followed the self-advertising line of Antony in the new age of unashamed political propaganda and struck coins displaying his own portrait. Brutus' estrangement from Cassius was effectively complete when this almost inanely assertive coin was struck displaying the pileus, or cap of liberty (symbol of the Dioscuri, saviours of Rome, and traditionally given to slaves who had received their freedom), between the daggers that executed Caesar. In an ironic twist of fate, Brutus committed suicide during the second battle at Philippi on 23 October 42 BC, using the dagger with which he assassinated Caesar. Struck from dies engraved in a variety of styles, some of which are very faithful to the solid silver counterparts, the plated denarii of Brutus' EID MAR type have occasionally elicited speculation that they may have been produced thus on account of dwindling silver supplies in Brutus' camp. However, none of the plated denarii can be die matched with official, solid silver denarii. Indeed, the wide range of styles on these plated issues is indicative of their true nature as contemporary counterfeits. Whether produced by disaffected, bored or greedy Republican soldiers, or idealistically inclined civilian fraudsters, we shall never know. What is most interesting though is that a forthcoming study has identified approximately 82 surviving EID MAR denarii of Brutus, and at least another 16 plated examples. This disproportionately high ratio of plated coins to official issues is remarkable, and surely makes the EID MAR one of the most contemporaneously counterfeited coins in history.

Grouping of Photograph Albums of WW2 Royal Navy Interest, the first album starts with images from a convoy to North Africa, images of Rear Admiral Burrough DSO and US General Charles Ryder giving operational briefing before the landings on Algiers during Operation Torch, images taken during the landings, images on ship and images of high ranking French generals and soldiers.

Truly Exceptional Great War Photograph and Ephemera Album compiled by Emil Buge, German Pilot, Political Prisoner at Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and Writer. This very large album has some of the most stunning and interesting aircraft photographs we have seen, including Air to Air images, aerial photographs and many of crashed German aircraft, all fully annotated, some full page. Other images include destroyed British tanks, Group and single photographs of German Pilots and a number of the compiler, Emil. Of particular interest is a c.60 page 2 part account of his flying experiences, typed and neatly included in the Album. Furthermore his Official "Flying logs " in his own hand are also present, representing the most complete record possible of a pilot who completed over 300 flights. One of which involved his observer using his boot to sure up a large hole in the fuselage. Wounded in October 1918 just before the war's end the tipped-in propaganda newspapers showing the darker side of the war hint at his political views which led to his imprisonment by the Nazis in 1939 in Sachenhausen Concentration Camp. His clerical duties in the camp administration enabled him to record the arbitrariness and brutality of the camp regime, included names of SS guards and inmates and this important document was published as a source reference in German in 2010 under the title 1470 KZ Secrets. Sadly Emil's own life ended by his own hand in November 1950 after his status of one the "politically persecuted " and associated pension was removed by the Bavarian State (later re-established in 1958). In summary a remarkable album with 417 photographs, ephemera, biographical account and logbooks of an important flyer and fascinating individual, whose recent book, opens the door to considerably more research.
