Seleukid Empire, Antiochos the son of Seleukos IV AR Tetradrachm. Antioch, circa 175 BC. Diademed head right / Apollo Delphios seated left on omphalos, testing arrows and resting on grounded bow; ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ to right, ANTIOXOY and tripod to left, ΔΙ monogram in exergue. SC 1369b; SMA 46; Mørkholm 6; Antioche de Syrie 9–18. 16.39g, 30mm, 12h. Good Very Fine. Extremely Rare. An episode seemingly unknown to or forgotten by the ancient writers, the very brief reign of Antiochos, the younger son of Seleukos IV, is attested to by a surprisingly sizeable output of coinage in the material record, consisting of oktadrachms that feature the conjoined busts of Antiochos and his mother, Queen Laodice IV, and drachms and tetradrachms such as the present piece bearing the portrait and name of the young boy king. Heliodorus, the minister responsible for the murder of Seleukos IV, is supposed to have elevated the young Antiochos in the belief that the power of the throne would reside in his hands, installing the regency of Laodice as a necessity. However, Seleukos IV’s younger brother Antiochos, who had been held hostage in Rome under the Treaty of Apamaea until his replacement with Demetrios, elder son of Seleukos IV, swiftly moved to march on Syria with an army and claim his rightful place on the throne as Antiochos IV, abruptly changing the arrangements Heliodorus had instigated. He adopted his nephew, associated him with his rule, and married the boy’s mother, his brother’s widow. Thus, Antiochos the younger son of Seleukos IV survived a few years more until 170 when a son was born to his uncle, and he had the young Antiochos killed.

Bruttium, Kroton AR Stater. Circa 530-500 BC. Tripod, legs terminating in lion's paws, two serpents at base; QPO to left / Incuse tripod. Attianese 4; SNG ANS 239-241; HN Italy 2075. 8.27g, 28mm, 12h. Fleur De Coin. From a private North American Collection. In terms of quality, this coin is easily among the best preserved of its series that has been seen at auction in a great many years, and it represents one of the very finest surviving incuse staters of Kroton - it must have been virtually fresh from the die when lost or deposited over two and a half millennia ago. The importance of the Delphic oracle to the founding of Kroton was celebrated on its coinage from the earliest days. Despite later myths ascribing the founding of Kroton to Herakles, the city's historical oikist is recorded as Myskellos of Rhypai who, on consulting the Delphic oracle about his lack of children was given the response that Apollo would grant children, but that first Myskellos should found the city of Kroton 'among fair fields'. After being given directions on how to locate the site, Myskellos travelled to southern Italy to explore the land that he had been assigned, but seeing the territory of the Sybarites and thinking it superior, he returned once more to the oracle to ask whether he would be allowed to change. The answer came back that he should accept the gifts that the god gave him. A further element of the story is that Myskellos was accompanied on his expedition by Archias of Corinth; the Delphic oracle gave the pair the choice between health and wealth. Archias elected wealth, and was assigned the site of Syracuse, while Myskellos chose health: the favourable climate of Kroton, the eminent skill of its physicians and the prowess of its athletes later earned its citizens this reputation for good health.
Lot 487
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. 3.95g, 18mm, 5h. Good Extremely Fine. A superb example of the type, with a deep old cabinet tone. 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.
