Lot 203
Macedon, Akanthos AR Tetradrachm. Circa 470-430 BC. Lion to right, attacking bull crouching to left with head raised; in exergue, tunny fish to left / AKAN?ION in shallow incuse around quadripartite square, the quarters raised and granulated. Cf. Desneux 96ff (unlisted obv. die); SNG ANS -. 17.25g, 30mm, 9h. Extremely Fine; wonderful old cabinet tone. From the Mordecai Medvin Collection; Privately purchased from V. C. Vecchi & Sons, London, 1979. The lion and bull motif, discussed in detail on the previous lot, was apparently adopted early on by Akanthos (c. 530-500 BC), though the lion and the bull were in any case among the earliest figures to appear on coinage - the mid-6th century BC coinage of the Lydian kings Alyattes and Kroisos is the best example of this usage. Already by this time too, the lion attack motif was in popular usage in mainland Greece - see for example the near contemporary Attic black-figure tripod in the manner of the KY Painter (Athens 12688). Persian influence on the design of tetradrachms of Akanthos can perhaps be inferred from an orientalising of style (see for example 201) resulting in an appearance more similar to the reliefs at Persepolis; Herodotos (7.116) records the Akanthians officially welcomed the Persians and willingly helped Xerxes: “Xerxes... declared the Akanthians his guests and friends, and gave them Median clothing, praising them for the zeal with which he saw them furthering his campaign.” Having thus taken part in the Persian campaign against Greece of its own accord, when Xerxes was defeated Akanthos subsequently become a member of the Delian League. It is tempting to see in the re-westernisation of the style of their coinage a reflection of this political volte-face.

From a private European collection, outside of Italy prior to December 1992.

L. Manlius Torquatus AR Denarius. Rome, 65 BC. Ivy-wreathed head of Sybil right; SIBYLLA below neck truncation / Tripod, on which stands amphora flanked by two stars; L•TORQVAT downwards to left, III•VIR upwards to right, all within torque. Crawford 411/1b; RSC Manlia 12. 3.98g, 18mm, 3h. Extremely Fine. A superb example of the type, with a deep old cabinet tone. Ex Bernard Poindessault (1935-2014) legacy. Destroyed during the civil wars under the dictatorship of Lucius Cornelius Sulla in 83 BC, the rebuilt Temple of Jupiter in Rome was dedicated in 69 BC, though some literary sources report that it was not until the late 60's that work was actually finished. The Sibylline Books, volumes of prophecies purchased by the last king of Rome and consulted only in times of emergency, had also been lost in the destruction. Keen to replace them the Senate sent envoys in 76 to collect similar oracular sayings from all over the known world. Lucius Manlius Torquatus had become consul with Lucius Aurelius Cotta only after having had the consuls-elect for 65 BC condemned for bribery, one of whom was the nephew of the dictator Sulla. The types chosen for this denarius, readily recognisable to the citizens of Rome, would have brought to mind the dictatorship of Sulla and the scandal of the elections and placed Torquatus as the saviour of Rome against such men, for the torque that surrounds the reverse type humorously recalls his famous ancestor from whom the family agnomen stemmed.
