A rare coin type, known in only four specimens up to 1979 and 16 specimens up to 1999, but now well documented because of the 187 additional hoard specimens published by Arnold-Biucchi in that latter year. This Aegeaen tetradrachm is recorded with only four dates, Year 4 and Years 16-18, and the known specimens were produced from only four obverse and nineteen reverse dies. Our coin will have been struck in 30/29 BC if the era used was the Caesarian era starting in 47 BC, but a considerably earlier date for the series, with an era starting c. 105 BC, has also been proposed.

Rx: Male figure on right, with right hand raising kneeling female figure on left; behind, trophy; in exergue, [MV]RCVS IMP. Crawford 510/1. Sydenham 1315 (R8). RSC Statia 1. Sear, Imperators 337. Lucius Staius Murcus began his political career as a legate of Caesar in Gaul and Africa from 48-46 BC. After Caesar's murder, he was appointed proconsul of Syria by the Senate. When Cassius arrived in the province in 43 BC, Murcus promptly transferred his allegiance and legions to the Liberator and was rewarded with command of a fleet. He demonstrated considerable skill as a naval tactician and in uneasy partnership with Ahenobarbus achieved complete control of the Adriatic and the seas around Greece. After the Republican disaster at Philippi, the two admirals waited developments in the Ionian Sea in support of no cause but their own, pirates in all but name. Murcus eventually made the ill-fated decision to throw in his lot with Sextus Pompey in Sicily. Pompey no doubt welcomed the arrival of Murcus' ships and well-seasoned crews, but Murcus himself was inconveniently accustomed to his own independent command. The two men soon quarreled; Pompey accused Murcus of conspiracy and ordered his execution in 40/39 BC. The rare coinage of Staius Murcus has never received the careful examination it merits. The depiction of Neptune on the obverse is an exact echo of an issue struck by Brutus in the previous year (Crawford 507/2), perhaps an indication of Murcus' lingering allegiance to the Republican cause. The type and legend of the reverse is more difficult to explain. For what victory did Murcus justify the adoption of the title IMP for Imperator? Sear in "Imperators" suggests the successful siege of Bassus in Apamaea in 43 BC as a suitable occasion, but Republican commanders didn't typically claim the title imperator for victory over their fellow Romans. Nor would that land siege two years earlier resonate with the sailors under Murcus' command in 41 BC, presumably the intended targets of the message. How does the title relate to the scene depicted? Is the standing male figure Murcus? Is the kneeling figure Roma, as suggested by Crawford? Again, what battle is represented by the trophy? An attractive example of an extremely rare coin, without the porosity, poor centering and double-striking that notoriously plague this issue. It's been plausibly suggested that the endemic double-striking indicates that these coins were actually struck aboard a ship in Murcus' fleet!. Bold Fine.
54-68 AD. Denarius, 3.41gg (6h). Rome, c. 67-8 AD. Obv: IMP NERO CAESAR - AVG P P Head laureate right. Rx: IVPPITER - CVSTOS Jupiter seated left holding thunderbolt and scepter. BMC 80. Paris 239.

Ex Naville II, 12-14 June 1922, Vautier - Collignon, lot 394. Kraay 73, Officina B, obverse die A1, reverse die P105, cited only our single coin for this die combination, though Kraay mistakenly made one of its auction appearances into a different, second, specimen; Kraay's specimens a and b are actually one and the same coin. The reverse type is interesting, conveying the idea that it was within Victory's power to bestow control over Rome (the Palladium); such a type occurred only on sestertii of the two successive emperors Nero and Galba, under Nero on a very rare coin of late in his reign showing Victory advancing right (BMC pl. 48.1), then under Galba on scarce sestertii showing her advancing either left or right, found by Kraay in a total of nineteen reverse dies (p. 56). Extremely sharp and complete, showing even the details of the leaves in Galba's wreath which are usually lost to flat striking or wear. Struck on an exceptionally broad flan and perfectly centered; probably one of the finest Galba sestertii in existence. Magnificent EF.

"The name of Molossos was regarded by Noe (Thurian Distaters, p. 13) as that of a magistrate, but Robinson, adducing a plated coin on which MOΛOΣ is followed by EΠOE ("Molossos made it"), argued for an engraver's signature" (Rutter, HN Italy, 1784). Though it is uncertain whether Molossos was a die engraver or a magistrate, the coins with his name are rare and desirable, and our specimen is finer than most recorded examples, including the one in the ANS.
