1st-2nd century AD. A bronze figurine of a lar (household deity) standing wearing a loose tunic with knotted band to the waist and shoulder, wreath to the brow, patera in the extended right hand, left hand open to accept a cornucopia. 166 grams, 10.5cm (4"). Fine condition. Property of a gentleman; acquired in the late 1960s-early 1970s. Cf. Rolland, H. Bronzes Antiques de Haute Provence, Paris, 1965, item 129. The Roman home not only functioned as a private dwelling, but also as a public manifestation of an individual's wealth and prestige as exemplified by the atrium of the house that acted as a meeting room for conducting business. These would be lavishly decorated and would also include a household shrine, or lararium. The Roman house was also at the heart of private devotion, for all levels of society, and household shrines would range from a simple shelf with pottery figures for the poor, to a shrine painted on a wall, and with the very wealthy having small scale temples, and even entire rooms known as sacella, housing expensive bronze images of the gods, such as this one. Any of the gods could be worshipped in the household shrine, from the gods of Olympus, through to the more exotic deities from the provinces, such as Isis or Cybele, but each one was required to house a set of three traditional deities that were the focus of attention. These were the Penates, gods of the home, the Genius, the spirit of the master of the household, and the Lares, spirits of the familial ancestors and their territory. Prayers, libations and sacrifices were performed for these deities to ensure the welfare of the family and the home. The Lares themselves were twins whose origins are shrouded in mystery, even to the Romans themselves. They not only acted as guardians of the home, but also fields, crossroads and individual cities. The poet Ovid in the Fasti, describes them as being the children of a nymph named Lara, and the god Mercury. Their main festival was known as the Compitalia, where they were worshipped at communal stone altars built at street corners in towns and cities where great festivities were held.
3rd century AD. A flat-section gold hoop divided at each shoulder into opposed scrolls with applied granules, discoid bezel with agate insert, intaglio cockerel with foliage. 3.64 grams, 17mm overall, 12.98 x 17.39mm internal diameter (approximate size British C 1/2, USA 1 1/2, Europe 0.53, Japan 0) (3/4"). Property of a London gentleman; acquired before 1970. Cf. Ruseva-Slokoska, L. Roman Jewellery, Sofia, 1991, item 206 for type. The cockerel is associated with the secretive and mystic religion of Gnosticism and relates to a deity known as Abraxas, whose name means Great Archon. He is mentioned in a number of Greek magical papyri as well as a Gnostic text known as the Holy Book of the Great Invisible Spirit. The image of Abraxas is found engraved on gemstones and he is either depicted as a man wearing armour and having the head of a cockerel and serpent legs, or simply as a cockerel. Gnosticism, from the Greek meaning having knowledge, was a collection of ancient religions whose adherents shunned the material world- which they viewed as created by an evil demiurge- and embraced the spiritual world. Gnostic ideas influenced many ancient religions that teach that gnosis (variously interpreted as knowledge, enlightenment, salvation, emancipation or 'oneness with God') may be reached by practising philanthropy to the point of personal poverty, sexual abstinence and diligently searching for wisdom by helping others. Very fine condition.

1125-1103 BC. A bronze axehead formed as a tubular socket with four moulded ribs projecting to the rear to form four conical spikes, a tongue-shaped flat blade slightly pressed in the upper and lower border with incised cuneiform inscription; accompanied by an old scholarly note, typed and signed by W.G. Lambert, late Professor of Assyriology, University of Birmingham, 1970-1993, which states: Ancient Inscribed Bronze Axehead naming a King of Babylon. Maximum height: 5 cm, Maximum length: 14.8 cm. the centre of this axehead is round, with hole for the shaft. On the opposite side from the blade are four spikes, joined for greater strength about half-way between the points and the shaft-hole. Each spike continues as a ridge of metal around the shaft-hole, the lower forming a circle, the upper three continuing on the opposite side from the spikes onto the blade. This has an upper edge continuing the angle of the spikes, but the lower edge goes downwards to the cutting edge, which is thus deeper than the opposite end of the blade. Originally the blade was deeper that it is now: the upper and lower edges have been hammered to give the blade more strength by thickening the edges. This happened since manufacture because the inscription has been in part obliterated by this hammering. The inscription is in Babylonian cuneiform and reads: te-le-'-?ama[r-utu] [m]ut-nen-na-a e-te?-[ra] [m]uš-te-'-ú aš-ra-ti-[ka] [..........] x du-un-nin i-di-ia-m[a] [lu]-šam-qí-ta ge-ri-ia [ša] ?nabû-ku-dúr-ri-usur lugal šár: You are able, Marduk, to save the pious who seeks after your shrines, [........].Strengthen my arms that I may fell my foes. [Property of] Nebuchadnezzar, king of the world. This is a prayer to the Babylonian god Marduk, with ownership ascription. The Nebuchadnezzar named is Nebuchadnezzar I, king of Babylon 1125-1103 B.C., not the Nebuchadnezzar II known from the Bible. The inscription begins on one side of the blade and is completed on the other side. Another axehead of the same type formerly in the Foroughi Collection has the same inscription, though complete, see G.Dossin, in Iranica Antiquea II (1962) pl. xxiv. Both these axeheads were apparently found in Iran, but the inscription is purely Babylonian. How such Babylonian inscriptions came to be found in Iran is a debated issue. It may be that such texts were copied onto bronze objects made in Iran, but in any case their date is close to that of kings named. This is then an important axehead naming a major king of Babylon. A later note of prof. Lamber completes the translation: te-le-'-?ama[r-utu] [m]ut-nen-na-a e-te?-[ra] [m]uš-te-'-ú aš-ra-ti-[ka] [eli n] a-ki-ri šu-zu-uz-zu [i-zi-q]a ša-ra-ka a-si-' n[a-ak]-ri-ia du-un-nin kak-ki-ia-ma lu-ú-di-ša ge-ri-[ia] ša ?ná-[ku]-dúr-ri-ÚRU lugal šár: You are able, O Marduk,to make prevail over enemies the devout noble who ever seeks your sanctuaries. Your spirit has [blown], destroy (?) my enemies, strengthen my arms that I may tresh [my] foes. Property of Nebuchadnezzar, king of the world. This is Nebuchadnezzar I, king of Babylon 1125-1103 B.C. Another copy of this inscription on the same type of axehead exists in the former Foroughi Collection and was published by G.Dossin in Iranica Antiqua II (1962) p.158 and pl. xxiv. The inscription there is a little better preserved, and one can note one difference: this axehead under study writes du-un-nin, while the Foroughi example writes du-un-ni-in, proving that the one was not copied mechanically from the other. Some one involved understood the writing. This axehead comes from Luristan and probably dates from a little later than the reign of Nebuchadnezzar I, the inscription having been copied in Iran from an object with this inscription made in Babylon, but circulating in Iran. Generally this object is in good state of preservation, though there is some corrosion of the inscription, and the blade has been sharpened recently. 243 grams, 14.8cm (5 3/4"). Fine condition, extremely rare. From a London, UK, collection; acquired 1970s. Accompanied by an Art Loss Register certificate. Nebuchadnezzar I., r. c. 1125-1104 BC, was the fourth king of the Second Dynasty of Isin and Fourth Dynasty of Babylon. He ruled for 22 years according to the Babylonian King List C, and was the most prominent monarch of this dynasty. He is best known for his victory over Elam and the recovery of the cultic idol of Marduk.
