With a beautiful head of Apollo in the finest late 5th century style. Extremely fine. Former Michel Eddé collection, privately acquired from Tradart; The Numismatic Auction 1985 (3) lot 16; former Charles Gillet (1879-1972) collection This is one of the great Apollos to be found in Greek coinage, and it was produced during the same period of artistic ferment as the famous issues of Syracuse, Katane and Kamarina, struck from dies signed by artists of the highest caliber. The die cutter who made the dies for this coin has been given the name "Master of the Apollo of Rhegium", and he is clearly on the same level as Kimon, the great, perhaps even the greatest, of the Syracusan engravers. In fact, the amazingly serene, albeit severe, expression on the face of Apollo is very reminiscent of the magnificent heads of Arethusa on Kimon`s dekadrachms. Starting Price: €30000

Lot 13

SICILY, SILVER TETRADRACHM OF GELA, ca. 410 BC, 17.190g, 2h. Jenkins 484 (same dies). Very rare. Attractively toned. Perfectly centered on a broad flan. Of splendid classical style. Overstruck on an uncertain type. Extremely fine. Kricheldorf 1971 (23) lot 11 This coin is one of the last to be struck before the Carthaginian destruction of the city in 405 BC. Furthermore Kenneth Jenkins suggested that the obverse die could be an unsigned work of Kimon, based in particular on the depiction of the quadriga and the floating hair of the charioteer. Starting Price: €10000

SICILY, SILVER CARTHAGINIAN TETRADRACHM, Sicily (mint of the Camp), ca. 320-315 BC, 17.053g, 8h. Jenkins 188. Attractively toned. Fine style. Former Michel Eddé collection, privately acquired from Tradart Following Virgil, the horse is usually considered part of the foundation myth of Carthage: "Deep in the city’s heart there was a grove of beauteous shade, where once the Tyrians, cast here by stormful waves, delved out of earth that portent which Queen Juno bade them find, the head of a proud horse, that ages long their boast might be wealth, luxury and war". Starting Price: €10000

Very rare and apparently the third known with the Poseidon`s facing head. Old cabinet tone. Choice very fine. Privately acquired from Drees Gallery, 1980s Alone amongst all of Alexander`s successors, Demetrios, the son of Antigonos, lived to see a stellar career plumb the depths of misfortune. Plutarch astutely observed that, "in none of the kings did Tyche take such sudden twists and turns, and never in the deeds of others did she so appear to wane and wax, shrink and shine, weaken and become all powerful". Only the quirks of outrageous fortune could explain how him, who was hailed as a living god in Athens, was also the only Hellenistic king to end his days in captivity.... Starting Price: €600

Lot 22

MACEDON, SILVER TETRADRACHM OF PHILIP V, Pella, ca. 220 BC, 16.812g, 11h. Mamroth 1. Rare first issue of Philip. Lightly toned. Of superb style with a particularly noble portrait. Minor scratches, otherwise, good very fine. Privately acquired from Tradart, 1980s One of the great Hellenistic portrait coins, this tetradrachm shows Philip V at the age of 17 soon after his accession to the throne and his initial victories over the Dardani, and probably just at the beginning of his successful campaigns against the Aetolians and the Spartans. While a highly active and aggressive ruler of great ability, he spent the remainder of his reign consolidating and strengthening his kingdom in the face of the increasing Roman threat. Starting Price: €10000

Lot 23

ATTICA, SILVER DRACHM OF ATHENS, ca. 454-404 BC, 4.247g, 9h. Kroll 10. Rare quality for denomination. Attractively toned. Extremely fine. Privately acquired from Drees Gallery, 1980s The owl was especially associated with Athens as the bird of Athena, the city`s patron goddess, and was commonly portrayed on vases, including the prize amphoras at the Panathenaic Games. It was stamped as the city`s symbol on weights and the reverses of coins of all values, and this led to the coins themselves being called owls. "Bringing owls to Athens" became the Greek proverbial equivalent of carrying coals to Newcastle... Starting Price: €600

Lot 24

Fritz Rudolf Künker 2005 (97) lot 649 The greatest king of his time, Mithradates spent the early part of his reign enlarging his kingdom. In his maturity he challenged Rome, taking possession of Cappadocia, Bithynia, Phrygia, Galatia and the province of Asia, massacring all the Italians he found in his domains - some 80,000 people. The Roman thirst for revenge was implacable, and it required three wars and the services of Sulla, Lucullus and Pompey to drive Mithradates from his kingdom to suicide. Starting Price: €600

Extremely fine. Former Michel Eddé collection, privately acquired from Tradart Philetairos was the founder of the Attalid dynasty, which ruled Pergamon for 150 years. His descendants honored him with stunning and realistic portraits, that not only commemorate him as one of Alexander`s contemporaries but also as an exemplary king in his own right. The last of the dynasty kings, Attalos III, who died without an heir in 133 BC, willed Pergamon to Rome. Starting Price: €1000

Lot 27

REPUBLIC, SILVER ANONYMOUS QUADRIGATUS, Rome, ca. 225-214 BC, 6.720g, 6h. Crawford 28/3. Old cabinet tone. Of magnificent style. From the earlier phase of this issue. Good extremely fine. Privately acquired from Tradart; Numismatic Fine Arts 1990 (25) lot 299; Bank Leu 1974 (10) lot 1 Andreas Alföldi has convincingly demonstrated that the bifrons head does not represent Janus. The Penates did belong to the very sacred treasure of the Romans. Their name has its origin in the Latin word "Penus" (granary). Every single Roman family had such a pair of Penates which protected the family and took care that the granary was never empty and that no member of the family had to starve. On the quadrigati we do not find these private Penates, but those of the Roman State. They were stored in the temple of Vesta, not only the home of the Holy Fire, but also of the cultic granary of Rome, in which was kept all the important implements for the different rituals in the course of the year. The Penates protected this granary and kept all harm from the Roman people. Starting Price: €4000

Lot 35

REPUBLIC, SILVER DENARIUS OF JULIUS CAESAR, military mint traveling with Caesar, ca. 49 BC, 3.967g, 3h. Crawford 443/1. Old cabinet tone. Candidate for the finest known. Virtually as struck. Acquired privately from Tradart; Tkalec 1998 lot 95 This coin was issued in the aftermath of his fateful crossing of the Rubicon in defiance of the Senate order to relinquish his military command in Gaul. Payment for his troops during these extensive military activities necessitated a large output of coinage, hence the famous "elephant" denarius of Caesar. The choice of the obverse type has given rise to much speculation, but probably is symbolic of the triumph of good over evil. Starting Price: €600

Lot 36

REPUBLIC, SILVER DENARIUS OF JULIUS CAESAR, military mint traveling with Caesar, ca. 48-47 BC, 3.889g, 5h. Crawford 458/1. Old cabinet tone. Extremely fine. Acquired privately from Tradart, 1980s This type is associated with Caesar African campaign of 47-46 BC, culminating in the battle of Thapsus in which he overcame the Pompeian forces under Scipio. "Venus Victrix" was the watchword of the Caesarians at the battle of Pharsalus in 48 BC, thus inspiring the choice of obverse type for this issue. The Trojan reverse relates to the mythical descent of the Julia gens from Iulus, son of Aeneas Anchise. Starting Price: €600

Lot 37

REPUBLIC, SILVER DENARIUS OF JULIUS CAESAR, Rome, ca. 40 BC, 4.086g, 7h. Crawford 526/2. Very rare. Old cabinet tone. Exceptional portrait of Caesar. Extremely fine.

Tradart 1992 (2) lot 160 The well known series of aurei and denarii honoring the legions of the Roman army was produced by Antony in the period immediately preceding the fateful battle of Actium (2 September 31 BC). The enormous military force gathered to do battle with Octavian for mastery of the Roman world. To pay his troops, Antony struck a special issue, each legion receiving coins bearing their own legionary name or number: silver for an ordinary soldier, gold probably for officers. Starting Price: €200

Lot 41

EMPIRE, SILVER CISTOPHORUS OF AUGUSTUS, Pergamon, ca. 27-26 BC, 11.997g, 12h. RIC 488. Old cabinet tone. A portrait of enchanting beauty perfectly centered and struck in high relief. Possibly the finest known. Insignificant marks, otherwise, good extremely fine. Acquired privately from Tradart; former Etienne Paul Nicolas (1904-1981) collection, Michel Kampmann 1982 lot 74 The cistophorus coinage was inherited by the Romans from the Hellenistic coinage system of the Attalid kingdom, and they maintained it as the principal silver coin circulating in the Roman province of Asia after its annexion in 133 BC. According to Suetonius, Augustus had been born while the moon was in the sign of Capricorn. Seeing this as a sign of his great destiny, Augustus associated the symbol closely with himself by striking it on coins and incorporating it into numerous works of art, so that it became a standard part of the imperial iconography. Starting Price: €4000

Lot 42

EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF AUGUSTUS, Colonia Caesaraugusta, ca. 19-18 BC, 3.839g, 5h. RIC 37b. Lustrous. Refined style. Broad flan. Choice extremely fine. From a French private collection The comet which appears on the reverse of this coin is the comet which was seen in Italy in July of the year of Caesar`s assassination. Now known to be an appearance of Halley`s comet, it was visible in the sky over Rome for seven days during the celebrations of "Ludi Victoriae Caesaris" and was considered a proof of his deification. Starting Price: €600

Lot 43

EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF AUGUSTUS, Caesaraugusta (?), ca. 19-18 BC, 3.958g, 6h. RIC 36a. Lustrous. Perfectly centered. Extremely fine. From a French private collection Starting Price: €200

Privately acquired from Tradart, 1980s As with many coins of Augustus, this particular type celebrates a successful military operation. In 8 BC, while Augustus was in residence at Lugdunum, the Romans conducted a campaign against the German tribes along the Rhine. According to Cassius Dio, following these campaigns the subjugated tribes offered their young as hostages to Augustus in Lugdunum. Starting Price: €200

Lot 49

EMPIRE, SILVER TETRADRACHM OF GALBA, Antioch, ca. 68-69 AD, 15.071g, 12h. Prieur 99. Rare. Attractively toned. Perfectly centered. Bold and realistic portrait in the finest style of the period. Possibly the finest known. Choice extremely fine. Privately acquired from Tradart; The Numismatic Auction 1982 (1) lot 305 This tetradrachm portrays Galba with aged, fleshy facial features and a coiffure of fairly thin, short locks. The pronounced verism, clearly intended to evoke republican precedents and appeal to the aristocracy, decisively differentiates representations of the new emperor from those of his condemned predecessor Nero. Starting Price: €2000

Lot 50

EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF GALBA, Tarraco (?), ca. 68-69 AD, 3.329g, 6h. RIC 41. Lightly toned. Spanish style. Good very fine. From a French private collection Starting Price: €600

The elephant is symbolic of the exotic animals which would have been exhibited in the enormous arena at this time - the first event to be staged in this, one of the world`s most famous stadiums, which is estimated to have had an audience capacity of 50,000. Starting Price: €400

Lot 56

Privately acquired from Tradart; The Numismatic Auction 1985 (3) lot 247 The trend for wearing Greek-style beards established by Hadrian had clearly caught on during his reign. Aelius followed suit, as did most subsequent Roman emperors until Constantine the Great, 150 years later. Beards symbolized philosophy and the Hellenic culture which became `de rigueur` among the Roman aristocracy in the second century AD, the period known as the `Second Sophistic`. Starting Price: €400

Lot 67

EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF PESCENNIUS NIGER, Antioch, ca. 193 AD, 3.398g, 1h. RIC 35. Rare. Attractively toned. Bold portrait. Good extremely fine. Privately acquired from Tradart; The Numismatic Auction 1982 (1) lot 384; Frank Sternberg 1979 (9) lot 90 The name "Niger" means black, which incidentally, contrasts him with one of his rivals for the throne in 194 AD, Clodius Albinus, whose name means white. According to the notoriously unreliable Historia Augusta, his cognomen of "Niger" was given due to the fact that his neck was black. More seriously, he is the first to use the title "Invictus", implying the patronage of the invincible sun, a favorite deity of the military in yhe Mithraic cult and also the major god of Syria. Starting Price: €1000

Lot 77

EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS, Laodicea, ca. 198 AD, 3.733g, 12h. RIC 499. Attractively toned. Good extremely fine. Privately acquired from Tradart; Numismatica Ars Classica 1990 (2) lot 707 Starting Price: €200

Lot 83

EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF PLAUTILLA, Rome, ca. 202-203 AD, 4.318g, 6h. RIC 369. Old cabinet tone. Perfectly centered and struck on a broad flan. Good extremely fine. Privately acquired from Tradart; Frank Sternberg 2000 (35) lot 608 The coinage of Plautilla provides strong evidence that a child was born to the imperial couple prior to Plautianus downfall in 205 AD. History has provided no record of this child, but in 218 AD the claim was made that the fourteen-year-old Elagabalus was the legitimate son of Caracalla and Plautilla. This claim was almost certainly untrue, but is further evidence of popular knowledge that the marriage had not been childless. In this context the type of Venus queen of love and beauty would have been quite appropriate. Starting Price: €200

Lot 84

EMPIRE, SILVER DENARIUS OF PLAUTILLA, Rome, ca. 202-203 AD, 3.752g, 6h. RIC 363. Lightly toned. Some scratches, otherwise, extremely fine. From a French private collection Starting Price: €200
