Johnstone LMS Rovers BC, on socle base, 20cm high and a Sandow's Magazine, November 1899 (3) Jackie Paterson was a Scottish boxer who was world flyweight boxing champion. He was also British champion at flyweight and bantamweight Paterson's first fight was in May 1938 in Greenock, and he beat Joe Kiely on points over ten rounds. With the outbreak of World War II, Paterson joined the RAF, but continued to box regularly throughout the war years. In March 1940, he added the vacant Commonwealth title to his British one, when he won on points against Richie Kid Tanner in Manchester. In February 1941, he defended both titles against Paddy Ryan in Nottingham, winning on a technical knockout in the eighth. In August 1941, he had a shot at the Commonwealth bantamweight title, when he fought holder Jim Brady in Glasgow. However, he lost on points over fifteen rounds. In June 1943, Paterson fought former flyweight champion Peter Kane from Golborne in Lancashire for the vacant World flyweight championship. The world title fight, held at Hampden Park in Glasgow, lasted only a minute, as Paterson caught Kane early in the first round putting him down twice, before he was counted out the second time. Paterson was the first southpaw to be world flyweight champion. By successfully defending his British flyweight title twice he had also won a Lonsdale Belt outright. In September 1945, Paterson had a re-match with Jim Brady for his Commonwealth bantamweight title, beating him on points in Glasgow, to take the title. In March 1946, he fought the Frenchman, Theo Medina, for the vacant European bantamweight title. He won the fight, in London on a disqualification in the eighth. Paterson was now World, British and Commonwealth flyweight champion, as well as Commonwealth and European bantamweight champion.

Sicily, Syracuse AR Tetradrachm. Time of Agathokles, circa 310-306/5 BC.

With the usurpation of Agathokles in 317 BC, Syracuse once more monopolised the right of coinage for the whole of Sicily, even more distinctly than in the time of Dionysios. Yet the reign of Agathokles, as noted by Malcolm Bell (Morgantine Studies I, 1981) “was a watershed for the arts in Sicily, just as it was for politics. The change from a conservative late-classical style to the new modes of the early-Hellenistic period came very quickly, within the space of a decade, and it coincided with the replacement of democratic government by the new monarchy. It is clearly perceptible in the coins that... document the full acceptance of early-Hellenistic style.” Depicted often as a cruel and unscrupulous adventurer and tyrant, Agathokles achieved little of lasting historical importance; indeed after his death anarchy erupted both in Syracuse, where a damnatio memoriae was decreed, and in other places that had been under his rule (Diod. Sic. 21. 18). Nonetheless, his patronage of the arts left a legacy of beauty as embodied by a small number of surviving works of art from his reign, and smaller but no less wonderful objects such as this stunning coin.

Constans AV Multiple of 1 1/2 Solidi. Treveri, AD 342-343. FL IVL CONSTANS P F AVG, laurel and rosette-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / GLORIA EXERCITVS, emperor standing left in military dress, holding trophy in right hand, left resting on shield set on ground; TR in exergue. RIC -; cf. 120; Gnecchi -; Depeyrot -. 6.71g, 21mm, 6h. Good Extremely Fine. Apparently unique and unpublished. This previously unpublished multiple, forms part of an extremely rare series issued at Treveri in AD 342/3. It formerly was known from only two unique specimens: one issued in the name of Constantius II (in Bonn) and one other in the name of Constans (in Berlin, with different obverse legend). Following the death of Constantine II in 340 after a botched invasion of his brother Constans’ Italian territories, Constans inherited all of the western territories: Hispania, Britannia and Gaul, as well as the African provinces, which his elder malcontent brother had been so dissatisfied with. Assuming his dead brother’s duties, in 341/2 Constans led a victorious campaign against the Franks, and in the early months of 343 he crossed to Britain, for which visit our source Julius Firmicus Maternus does not provide a reason, but it has been suggested that this was to repel an invasion by the Picts (Ammianus 20.1.1). The mint at Treveri, now under Constans’ control had not struck any multiples under Constantine II. Thought not securely datable, it seems probable that this extremely rare multiple solidi series honouring the two remaining Augusti (and now according Constans the laurel and rosette diadem denied him by his brother) was struck in a celebratory first issue. This year also coincided with Constans’ decennalia, for which a very rare gold and silver issue is known. Interestingly the Treveri mint (an important centre of coinage production in the West) appears to have struck no billon coinage from the point at which it came under Constans’ control until about 347/8. Though his reign began promisingly with a righteous victory over his covetous and aggressive brother Constantine II, and victories against the Franks and (possibly) Picts, Constans appears to have quickly slipped into less virtuous ways. The historian Eutropius tells us that “when he fell prey to ill-health and associated with rather depraved friends he turned to serious vices, and when he became intolerable to the provincials and unpopular with the soldiers he was killed by Magnentius’ faction.”

Baktria, Sophytes AR Tetradrachm. Uncertain mint in the Oxus region, circa 246/5-235 BC. Attic standard. Head of Seleukos(?) right, wearing laurel wreathed Attic helmet decorated with spiral pattern on crest and eagle wings on cheek-guard, tied under chin / Cockerel standing right; kerykeion behind, ΣΟΦYΤΟΥ to right. Cf. Bopearachchi, Sophytes Series 3A, pl. I, 1; for type cf. SNG ANS 21-23 (drachm); Mitchiner 29 (drachm); Whitehead NC 1943, pp. 64, 1 and pl. III, 7-8 (drachm). 16.81g, 27mm, 6h. Good Extremely Fine. The second known example of an issue of considerable numismatic interest. A bold and expressive portrait engraved in the finest Hellenistic style. This portrait, which has all too often been simply assumed to be that of Sophytes himself, is eminently worthy of further scrutiny. It is the work of a highly talented individual, and depicts what should by any account be a great general, helmeted in Attic style and wearing the laurel wreath of a conqueror. Unfortunately the actions of Sophytes, whatever they might have been, were either not recorded or have long since been lost. We cannot therefore determine whether this individual may indeed have performed such deeds as to be worthy of commemoration in such a fashion. In examining the features of the individual depicted on this coin however, it becomes immediately apparent that there are distinct similarities with certain idealised portraits of Seleukos I. It is conceivable that we should see in this portrait not an image of the unknown ruler Sophytes, but an idealised image of the deified Seleukos, as can be found on the somewhat earlier coinage of Philetairos. Those images (cf. in particular Gulbenkian 966) have nearly identical features - in particular the heavy brow, aquiline nose, down-turned mouth and prominent chin. The historical sources offer us few clues as to the dating of Sophytes’ rule. They tell us that Stasanor was satrap of Baktria until at least 316 BC, and that Seleukos reintegrated Baktria into his empire on his eastern anabasis in c. 305. An early date therefore seems highly unlikely. Turning to the evidence of the coin itself, numismatists have correctly observed that the obverse portrait is derived from the similar type of Seleukos on his trophy tetradrachms (SC 174), which should be dated to after c. 301 BC; the presence of the somewhat worn elephant-quadriga tetradrachm in the present group pushes the date even further to the right, and into the third century. Now, the presence of this type in this group along with coins of Andragoras indicates a considerably later date than previously supposed. We have already proposed with good reason that the coinage of Andragoras should be dated to c.246/5-239/8 BC (see lots 325 and 328), and that given the patterns of wear that may be observed upon them, there is sufficient justification to argue for the dating of Sophytes’ named coinage to c. 246/5-235, after Andragoras had begun coining but before Diodotos II would have been free to dispose of any lesser regional powers. This turbulent time period has already afforded us a plausible reason for the striking of Andragoras’ coinage. It is possible that Sophytes too was prompted to look to the security of his own territory following the effective withdrawal of the central government’s influence in that area. Diodotos I too struck his own coinage in Baktria, which while bearing his own portrait on the obverse nevertheless maintained the name ‘Antiochos’ on the reverse as a token symbol of loyalty. Does Sophytes coinage, with a distinctly ‘local’ reverse type, seek to achieve the same veneer of loyalty as that of Philetairos and Diodotos by placing the image of Seleukos I, the founder of the Seleukid empire, on his obverse?
