Sellwood 13.2; Shore 35; BMC 50; Sunrise 260 (this coin). 15.02g, 26mm, 1h. Extremely Fine. Ex Sunrise Collection; Ex Gorny & Mosch 129, 8 March 2004, lot 195; Ex Santa Barbara Museum Collection, Numismatic Fine Arts I, 20 March 1975, lot 195. This type represents the first issue of tetradrachms by the Parthians. They were coined shortly after the Parthians had conquered Mesopotamia from the waning Seleukid Empire. As was to be expected, the die engravers of the mint at the Seleukid capital produced coinage that stylistically differed very little from the issues of the previous century under the Seleukid kings. While this could be viewed as both expedient and pragmatic – the Parthians had not struck coins since the reign of Arsakes and probably lacked experienced die cutters – Mithradates in fact actively promoted Hellenism in his territories and indeed styled himself 'Philhellenos' as seen on this coin. He also assumed the traditional Greek symbol of kingship, the diadem. Yet by the end of his reign, the Greek qualities that were so apparent on his early coinage were in decline, and by the reign of Orodes I in around 90 BC, the coins had become thoroughly eastern in style.

Magna Graecia, Western Italy, Paestan, ca. 400 to 350 BCE. Attractive red-figure skyphos (wine cup) most likely produced in Paestum (just south of Naples), depicting a standing male wearing a toga leaning against his walking stick on Side A and a nude male standing in composite profile on Side B. Beneath each handle is a large, stylized palmette. Paestum was located on the west-coast of the Italian peninsula and was the home of some of the oldest Greek Italic painted ceramics. The Greek colonist artists of Magna Graecia were very much influenced by the styles of Athens and the mainland of the early 5th century BCE. They favored iconography that treated scenes of daily life as well as mythological subjects. This is a fine example, expertly painted in red figure, a technique that allows for remarkable naturalistic representations of the human figure in motion. An exemplary skyphos in very nice condition.

Ancient Greece, Athens, ca. late 5th century BCE. A near miniature fine Attic skyphos vessel of characteristic form with twin handles extending outward on opposing sides, attached to remarkably thin pottery walls, decorated on both sides with an owl flanked by lovely olive branches. Classical mythology associates the owl with wisdom and femininity, as the owl was a symbol for Athena, the goddess of wisdom. According to legend, an owl sat on Athena’s blind side, enabling her to see the whole truth. Diana, the Roman deity akin to Athena, was also associated with the owl as well as the moon. A breathtaking Attic piece with extremely thin walls and superb paint! Most examples of owl cups come from Apulia and are much heavier and far less refined. This piece is classic, Attic of the finest form. Size: 4-1/2" x 2-1/8" (11.4 x 5.4 cm).
