Constantine I AV Medallion of 1¼ Solidi. Nicomedia, AD 325-326. D N CONSTANTINVS AVG, diademed bust right, with uplifted gaze / EQVIS ROMANVS, Constantine, bare-headed and in military dress, mounted right, raising right hand; SMN in exergue. NAC 51, 5 March 2009, 426; C. -; RIC -, (cf. 100 for reverse); cf. Bastien pl. IV, 16 (same); cf. Gnecchi 9 (same); cf. Biaggi 1966 (same); Depeyrot p. 154. 5.29g, 21mm, 7h. Extremely Fine. Exceptionally Rare. Ex Roma Numismatics VII, 22 March 2014, lot 1296 (sold for £11,000 but not paid); Ex Numismatik Lanz München 145 (with Numismatica Bernardi), 5 January 2009, lot 148. Multiples of 1½ and 2 solidi have been previously recorded, however this 1¼ is one of only two known, the other having been sold at Numismatica Ars Classica 51, 5 March 2009, lot 426. After the naval defeat inflicted on Licinius by Constantine at the Battle of the Hellespont, Licinius withdrew his forces from Byzantium across the Bosphorus to Chalcedon in Bithynia. Pursued by Constantine, it was here that the decisive Battle of Chrysopolis was fought, in which Licinius was routed and fled with his remaining troops to the eastern capital of Nicomedia. Here he threw himself on the mercy of Constantine, capitulating in order to save his own life. Struck shortly after the mint at Nicomedia had begun striking gold for Constantine as sole emperor, and to coincide with Constantine's vicennial celebrations in 326, this unusual piece honours the traditional concept of the Roman state by hailing the equestrian rank; a similar issue was struck at the same time with the reverse legend SENATVS. Alföldi proposed that these particular reverse types might also commemorate the emperor's experiment with reorganisation of the equites, which began in 326.

The propagandist note of this reverse, alluding to the military training of Constantius and the victories he would surely go on to win for the Empire, is one that is seen time and again across the coinage of the Constantinian period. However, it was struck during a period of change: in celebration for his victory in the second Civil War in 324, Constantine conferred the title of Augusta on both his mother Helena and wife Fausta, and elevated Constantius to the rank of Caesar.

Michael IV the Paphlagonian AV Histamenon Nomisma. Thessalonica, AD 1034-1041. + IhS XIS RЄX RЄGNANTI hM, Christ seated on backless throne facing, bearded, with crossed nimbus, wearing chiton and himation, raising hand to side in benediction and holding Gospels by spine / + MI XΛHL ΔЄSΠOT, Standing facing figures of archangel Michael, winged, wearing chlamys, and Michael IV, bearded, wearing loros and crown with pendilia, holding left hand on breast; between them, they hold labarum with diamond of four pellets; above crown, hand of God. DOC 2; Sear 1826 (Michael V). 4.40g, 25mm, 5h. Near Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare, believed to be one of fewer than ten known examples. Michael the Paphlagonian was the chamberlain of the empress Zoe, wife of Romanos III. The pair soon became lovers, and just a day after the demise of the emperor (in suspicious circumstances), they were married, and Michael was crowned emperor. Though uneducated, Michael proved to be a good and courageous leader, but his reign was cut short by severe epilepsy and dropsy. This extremely rare coin has variously been attributed to Michael IV, Michael V, Michael VI and Michael VII. Current scholarship assigns it to Michael IV (see M. F Hendy, ‘Michael IV and Harold Hardrada’, in: NC 1970, S. 187-197), on the basis that coins of the Danish king Sveyn II Estridsson (1047-1075) mimic this extremely rare type, the proposed reason being that Harold Sigurtharson (later called Hardrada), future King of Norway and nearly of England, would have brought these coins brought back with him when he returned home from his time in the Byzantine emperor Michaels IV’s Varangian Guard. Harald served with distinction under Michael IV, winning great honour, and according to his skald (poet) Tjodolv Arnorsson, Harald participated in no fewer than eighteen greater battles during his Byzantine military career. Harald’s favour at the imperial court quickly declined after the death of Michael IV in December 1041, which was followed by conflicts between new emperor Michael V and the powerful empress Zoe. After Zoe had been restored to the throne in June 1042 together with Constantine IX, Harald requested to be allowed to return to Norway. Although Zoe refused to allow this, Harald managed to escape into the Bosphorus with two ships and some loyal followers,though the second ship was destroyed by the Byzantine cross-strait iron chains. Despite the manner of his departure, Kekaumenos lauds the ‘loyalty and love’ Harald had for the empire, which he reportedly maintained even after he returned to Norway and became king.

Etruria, uncertain inland mint, possibly Arretium Æ Cast As. 3rd century BC. Wheel of six spokes within double linear border, ivy leaf countermark between two spokes / Wheel of six spokes within double linear border, •••••••••••• around rim. Cf. Haeberlin p. 254, 2 pl. 85, 1; EC II, 1; ICC 155; HN Italy 56a. 181g, 64mm. Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare, and of significant numismatic importance. A splendid example with fine olive-green patina. Haeberlin lists 11 examples, all in museum collections. Only one has ever appeared in a public sale: Sir Edward Bunbury collection II, Sotheby sale 10 June 1895, 27, now in the Haeberlin collection in Berlin. From the VCV Collection. Inland Etruria is dominated by the valley of the river Clanis (Val di Chiana) which played a major part in the economic development of Etruria. From its source near Arretium (Arezzo), the Clanis ran past Curtun (Cortona), Clusium (Chiusi) and after being joined by the Pallia (Paglia) tributary, flowed into the Tiber beside Volsinii (Orvieto). These four cities are amongst the oldest and most eminent of the Etruscan dodecapoleis and owed much of their wealth to the fertility of the Clanis valley, especially in grain. This region was also strategically located at the centre of a network of roads, and with its proximity to the Tiber it was a centre of trade and industry, especially that of bronze working. Notable masterpieces produced there include the celebrated Chimaera of Arezzo, now in the Museo Archeologico of Florence, and the richly decorated lamp of Cortona, not to mention the 2000 bronze statues looted by the Romans in 264 BC from the federal sanctuary of the nomen etruscum at Volsinii, from whence the celebrated Mars of Todi possibly originates. By the 3rd century the whole of Etruria was allied to Rome and therefore all the cast and struck series of Etruria must have been produced under its auspices. The hoard and single find evidence points to a federal coinage between several cities. Although none of the issues has an ethnic, many have Etruscan initials and intriguing countermarked symbols.
