Cf. Jahn, O., Die Lauersforter Phalerae, Bonn, 1860, taf.1; Maxfield, V.A., The military decorations of the Roman Army, Los Angeles, 1981; D’Amato, R., Sumner, G., Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier: From Marius to Commodus, 112 BC-AD 192, London, 2009, figs.157, 254-255; D’Amato, R., Roman Standards & Standard-Bearers (1), 112BC-AD192, Oxford, 2018, p.54; D’Amato, R. & Negin, A., Roman decorated armour, London, 2019, p.150, fig.137. 113 grams total, 8.8-12.5 cm (3 1/2 - 5 in.). Acquired in 1970.with Coins and Antiquities, formerly known as D.J. Crowther Ltd, Mayfair, London, UK.Private collection of a London antiquarian.English private collection.Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato.This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate number no.10623-174245. Discoid military decorations usually depicted the heads of the gods, spirits of the underworld, birds and lions, Medusa being the most popular subject. Sets of phalerae, similar to those shown on monuments dedicated to Marcus Caelius, Quintus Sertorius Festus and Celer Allius, were found in Neuss, Lauersfort and Newstead. Our phalera finds parallel in similar examples from the magnificent Lauersfort set, echoing the decoration visible on the gravestone of centurion Caelius from Bonn, depicted with a corona civica on his head, the best-known silver military decorations of the early Imperial Age. The higher officers in the Roman army had the custom of wearing such rich suits of phalerae with the straps attached directly to leather garments or doublets, worn over their armour. One such example can be seen on the gravestone of the Aquilifer G. Musius (Jahn, 1860, taf.II; D’Amato, 2018, p.54), where the phalerae are worn over a leather structure like a doublet over the subarmalis. Wearing a double-padded armour under the doublet provided twice as much protection to the warrior and enhanced the phalerae worn over the doublet. These decorations were awarded in sets, commonly of nine, although the sources confirm that this was not an absolute rule. They were worn in a similar fashion to medals on the chest, attached to a leather harness of straps, which ran straight around and up and down the front of the chest, and continued over the shoulders and around the back where they were fastened with buckles (Maxfield, 1981, pp.92-93).

Lot 110

4th century A.D. A silver-gilt strap tongue from military belt, rectangular shape with soldered bead on the back, a repoussé work representing Hercules, naked and covered only by a mantle, killing the Nemean lion, a palm of victory under the feet of the hero, a dog attacking the lion from above, foliage around the scene. See Sommer, M., Die Gürtel und Gürtelbeschläge des 4. und 5. Jahrhunderts im römischen Reich, Bonner Hefte zur Vorgeschichte, 22, Bonn, 1980 (1984), pl.54, 11. 18.5 grams, 53 mm (2 1/8 in.). Acquired 1980-2015.Ex Abelita family collection. The belt fitting finds parallels with parts of belt from Asia Minor, today at the British Museum, inv. EC 252-254. These kind of plates, decorative and engraved with classical scenes, can be dated possibly to the age of Theodosius I. The quality of decoration can support the thesis of their belonging to officers of the Comitatus (the Imperial mobile army).

Lot 190

5th-4th century B.C. or earlier. A large silver dish with carinated everted rim, repoussé central boss and piriform panels, fluted surround with lotus plant motif; some restoration. Cf.

Lot 239

Early 11th century A.D. A double-edged cutting sword of Oakeshott Type XII with inlaid hilt and tapering blade with shallow fullers; the lower guard gently curving and decorated with copper inlaid dots, upper guard and three-lobed pommel with similar decoration, traces of silver inlay to the hilt. Cf. Petersen, J., De Norske Vikingsverd, Oslo, 1919; Peirce, I., Swords of the Viking Age, Suffolk, 2002; Oakeshott, E., The sword in the age of chivalry, Woodbridge, 1998; this double-edged sword belongs to a group of swords, very similar to Viking Age Scandinavian examples, mostly found in the east of the Baltic; a very similar specimen to our sample is a contemporary sword from Leikkimäki, Kokemäki, Satakunta, Finland (Peirce, 2002, pp.138ff.). 720 grams, 90 cm long (35 1/2 in.). Acquired 1971-1972.From the collection of the vendor's father.Property of a London, UK, collector.Accompanied by an academic report by Dr Raffaele D’Amato. The sword belongs to the Type XII of the Oakeshott classification (Oakeshott, 1998, pp.37ff.), the characteristics of which are a broad, flat, evenly tapering blade, generally with a good sharp point and tending to widen perceptibly below the hilt. After the publication of the Finnish specimen, Peirce, due to the inlaid inscriptions of this latter, noted a close parallel, both in style and content, with a sword in the Schweizerischen Landesmuseum in Zurich. In the expanded context including the example from Finland, Peirce was able to re-date them to the 11th century.

Lot 242

14th-15th century A.D. A substantial silver archer's ring comprising a hoop with reserved triangular ornament on the edges and triangular plaque with foliage motifs, raised central panel with frond motif. Cf. Bikic, V., ‘Beyond the Jewellery: Archer’s Rings in the Medieval Balkans (14th-15th centuries)’ in Bosselmann-Ruickbie, A. (ed.), New Research on Late Byzantine Goldsmiths’ Works (13th-15th Centuries), Mainz, 2019, figs. 5, 6, 7. 22.61 grams, 34.77 mm overall, 25.16 mm internal diameter (1 3/8 in.). Acquire in the 1990s.Ex Cambridgeshire, UK, collection. Archer rings in Late Byzantium and the medieval Balkans were connected with the employment of the powerful composite bow, but very often, in 14th century, they were rank symbol for aristocratic noblemen. Archaeological findings of archers’ rings originate mainly from fortified towns, including mining centres. Many were made in bone, simple in design and undecorated. In contrast, the ones made in bronze and silver were usually decorated in rather uniform style, consisting of floral motifs on the head, mostly tulip and foliage, and linear motifs around the edges. This decoration combined Turkish, Central European and Eastern Roman traditional patterns.

Lot 243

16th century A.D. A copper-alloy war-hammer composed of ellipsoidal socket, waisted butt with shallow conical face and tapering, lozenge-section head, inlaid with a silver 'net' design. See Paszkiewicz, M., 'Polish War Hammers: Czekan Nadziak, Obuch', in The Journal of The Arms and Armour Society, vol. VIII, no. 3, June 1974, pp. 225-227, pls. LXXXI - LXXXII, for parallels of war-hammers of this type; Popov, S., ‘Late Medieval War Hammers from Vatevi Collection (Bulgaria)’ in Rela?ii Interetnice în Transilvania, Militaria Mediaevalia în Europa centralâ ?i de sud-est, Sibiu, pp.71-83, figs. 8-9, type XI. 453 grams, 18.5 cm (7 1/4 in.). Private collection of Mr M.B., Mainz, Germany, 1990s.Property of a London businessman.This lot has been checked against the Interpol Database of stolen works of art and is accompanied by search certificate no.11203-186235. The name obuch is Polish and means 'the blind end of an axe', but already at the beginning of the 15th century it meant a [unspecified] war hammer. According to Polish sources of 17th century, the war-hammer could have been formed into the shape of an axe (czekan), or in the form of a thick, slightly sloping spike (nadziak), or curved like a round cracknel (obuch). A 17th century description states: 'It was a terrible instrument in the hand of a Pole..With the sabre one could cut off somebody’s hand, cut the face, injure the head, and the running blood of the adversary would calm down the rancour. But with the obuch one could cause a deadly wound without even seeing the blood, and – not seeing it – he would not calm down instantly, but would strike several times without cutting the skin, breaking ribs and bones at the same time.'
