Originally named Sybaris, Thourioi was founded in 446 BC with Athenian aid by those persistent exiles, the Sybarites. In 444 BC the city received additional colonists from Athenian territories. This mixing of people is reflected in the types chosen for the city’s coins: Athena taking the obverse while the bull of Sybaris is on the reverse where there was also the new name that was taken from a local rushing spring: the Thuria.

The coin is signed Π, for the artist Prokles, whose full signature is known on tetradrachms at Katane in this period.

This Prokles is thought to be the same artist who engraved a number of magnificent didrachm, hemidrachm, and litra dies at Naxos and maybe these works suggest that he lived in Naxos.

The decadrachms of Syracuse are among the most beautiful coins ever struck for circulation. They began in circa 405 BC, following the election of Dionysios as tyrann of Syracuse. After the victory of Syracuse against Athens, the polis repulsed a Carthaginian invasion at the end of V-early of IV century BC.

This coin is probably the one specimen known with these types and it was struck during Timoleon’s reign. In fact, on obverse there is the head of Zeus Eleutherios as in other dilitron of the Corinthian general (cfr., CNS II, 80) but on reverse there is a star with 12 rays, symbol of the Symmachia: the alliace of Greek cities and Italic People with Timoleon against the Cartaginians in Sicily. We have known the proof in lead in which there are for types the head of Arethusa and the star. Calciati describes that as a proof lead for a new bronze drachm, so and maybe this dilitron is the unique specimen known that adopted the Timoleon’s emblem and the Symmachia’s icon.

Light old cabinet tone, fine style, high relief and well centered for this issue, virtually as struck fdc.

Quite often these specimens are very worn out so the types are poorly struck up, so that coins show up only as a flat spot lacking any detail. The horse’s eye and the head of Herakles on this specimen are fully struck up and display virtually no wear, making it one of the most desirable pieces of its type we have seen.

Although the identity of the Koson named on the coins remains uncertain, the Coinage in his name must be the coinage of L. Brutus described by Appian. On obverse, there is the consul L. Junius Brutus, who expelled the Tarquins from Rome in 509 BC, accompanied by two lictors. The reverse, an eagle with wreath, was evidently a standard type at Rome. The designs express Brutus’ propaganda in civil war.

6- Right of Withdrawal Consumers may cancel their contractual declaration within 7 days without giving any reasons in text form (e.g. by letter, fax or e-mail) or - if the item has been delivered to them before the end of the period - by returning the item (in accordance with Article 246 § 2 in connection with § 1 paragraph 1, 2 EGBGB as well as our duties according to § 312g paragraph 1 phrase 1 BGB in conjunction with Article 246 § 3 of the draft Law).

The cancellation period is considered observed if the notice of cancellation or the item is dispatched in due time. The notice of cancellation must be sent to: ACR Auctions GmbH Sendlinger Straße 24 80331 Munchen Effects of withdrawal In the event of a valid withdrawal, each party shall return to the other party any benefits received (e.g. interest) In case you are unable to return the items or services rendered by us in whole or part, or only return them in a deteriorated condition, you may be required to pay us compensation.

If the goods purchased appear to have been damaged before shipping, the customer shall not make any compensation Any items that are unsuitable for dispatch will be collected at your address.

Obligations to reimburse payments must be fulfilled within 30 days. For you this term begins when you dispatch either your declaration of revocation or the items; for us it begins upon their receipt.

7- Reservation of Title ACR Auctions has entitled to resell the goods transferred in the ordinary course of business.

The customer seller, in the time of placing, give us all grants on the goods on sale.

The consignor is entitled to payment the agreed price only after buyer under paid off itself purchased good.

Acr Auctions will be responsible for the collection of the sales price until the expiry of contract terms of payment.

In contracts with consumers, we retain the title to goods until full payment of the purchase price has been made. In contracts with companies, we retain the title to goods until all claims from an ongoing business relationship have been satisfied.

As long as the purchase price has not been paid in full, the customer is obliged: a) to handle the merchandise with care, in particular to not clean or treat them with chemicals or other objects; b) to notify us immediately if a third party has placed a claim, such as a lien, on the goods, or if the goods have suffered damage or demise and/or; c) change of ownership of the goods has occurred, as well as a change in the buyer’s own domicile.

An entrepreneur has the right to sell the goods to a third party in the course of normal business. In doing so, he already assigns to us all receivables vis-à-vis third parties that accrue to him by reselling the goods in the amount of the invoiced value. We already accept this assignment. Subsequent to assignment, the company is entitled to collect the receivables. We do, however, reserve the right to collect the receivables ourselves, if the company does not duly fulfill its payment obligations and falls into default.

8- Liability for Defects Should the articles delivered prove to have obvious defects, whereby this also includes shipping damage, you are obliged to file a claim for such defects without delay. If you are a consumer, the failure to give notice of defect, however, shall not have any consequences on your legal rights.

There may exist multiple copies of individual pieces. Not all pieces can be illustrated or listed in a catalogue or on the website. The delivery of a piece not illustrated in the catalogue does not constitute a defect, unless you have expressly stated in your order that you wish to receive exactly the piece illustrated and described.

The authenticity of all goods offered is guaranteed. The buyer is entitled to all the warranties required by law.

Asta Monete 15:Asta Monete 01/04/15 21:31 Pagina 179

As regards warranty, the consumer has the choice of exercising his right of removal of defects or delivery of merchandise free of defects (supplementary performance). To the extent that the method of supplementary performance is considered to entail disproportionate costs, the entitlement shall be limited to the remaining options for supplementary performance.

Additional rights, in particular the rescission of the purchase contract, can only be exercised after an adequate period of time has passed, allowing for supplementary performance or two unsuccessful attempts of supplementary performance or if ACR Auctions have refused supplementary performance.

If the seller is an entrepreneur, we are entitled to choose to either remove defects or deliver merchandise free of defects within one year after date of delivery pursuant to § 439 BGB. After a year has passed after the date of delivery, the warranty claims of a business entity are limited to the removal of defects or the provision of a credit of the current cash value, whichever we deem appropriate.

9- Data privacy All personal data will be kept strictly confidential and will not be made available to third parties.

10- Liability Disclaimer In all cases where ACR Auctions are obliged on the basis of contractual or legal grounds to pay for damages or reimbursements, we are only liable to the extent that we have been proven to have acted willfully and with gross negligence or to have caused injury to life, limb, or health. This shall not affect liability regardless of negligence or fault according to the Product Liability Act. Nor shall it affect liability for gross breach of contract; to this degree, liability is limited to damages that are foreseeable and typical for this type of contract, except for the cases referred to in the first two sentences. The aforementioned provisions are not coupled with a change in the burden of proof to the disadvantage of the customer.

11- Applicable law and jurisdiction The place of fulfillment is Monaco di Baviera,head office of ACR Auctions GmbH. German law shall apply at the exclusion of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

The same applies if the customer has no general legal venue in the Federal Republic of Germany or his domicile or normal place of abode is not known at the time a lawsuit is filed.

Should any of the provisions of this contract with the customer, including these General Terms and Conditions, be determined unlawful in part or whole, this shall not invalidate the remaining provisions. In case there is an unforeseen eventuality, the parties shall agree upon provisions that, on the basis of the entire body of the contract, shall help execute the contract according to the apparent will of both parties.

Those participants automatically accepted these Terms and Conditions of sale and are available to any interested party on request.

Asta Monete 15:Asta Monete 01/04/15 21:31 Pagina 180

Gli ordini effettuati su internet, verranno immediatamente confermati tramite la spedizione di una email inviata al vostro indirizzo.

Tuttavia tale conferma di ordine non costituisce un impegno definitivo da parte di ACR Auctions.

Le descrizioni presenti nei cataloghi e su internet sono puramente indicative pertanto si declina qualsiasi responsabilità in merito alla correttezza delle stesse.

La società non è altresì responsabile in caso di palesi errori di stampa.

Gli ordini devono avere forma scritta. Eventuali ordini effettuati verbalmente non sono vincolanti.

Effettuare un’ordine, determina automaticamente l’accettazione delle nostre “Condizioni generali di vendita”.

3- Spese di spedizione ed assicurazione Le spese di spedizione ed assicurazione dei lotti acquistati verranno calcolate in base alle tabelle pubblicate nel nostro sito www.artcoinsroma.com (de, it, co.uk) 4- Termini di consegna La consegna di beni acquistati, in particolare effettuata da nuovi clienti, verrà effettuata soltanto previo pagamento anticipato, salvo diverso accordo.

In caso di aggiudicazione, verrà inviata al cliente acquirente una fattura, che dovrà essere pagata entro e non oltre 10 giorni dalla ricezione.

La merce verrà inviata entro 14 giorni dalla data di avvenuto pagamento.

Qualora fossimo temporaneamente impossibilitati a consegnare la merce acquistata entro il termine stabilito di 14 giorni a causa di blocchi, scioperi, serrate, azioni normative o altri casi di forza maggiore, il termine di consegna verrà automaticamente prorogato.

In questo caso il cliente verrà tempestivamente informato anche riguardo la durata prevista. Se l’impedimento dovesse persistere oltre le quattro settimane, entrambe le parti avranno il diritto di rescindere il contratto.

Il rischio di danneggiamento e deterioramento accidentale della merce venduta, passa all’acquirente nel momento della consegna diretta della merce. Se la merce viene inviata mediante spedizioniere, la responsabilità è del vettore o alla persona incaricata per la consegna della merce sino a consegna avvenuta.

Gli oggetti acquistati si considerano consegnati anche se l’acquirente li ritira in ritardo.

La spedizione è coperta da adeguate polizze assicurative.

5- Pagamento Tutti i prezzi sono in Euro, inclusa l’imposta sul valore aggiunto in vigore al momento dell'ordine.

Utilizzando tale forma di pagamento verranno addebitati dei costi che potrete trovare sul nostro sito www.artcoinsroma.com (de, it, co.uk) 6- Diritto di recesso Ad ogni acquirente spetta per legge il diritto di recesso.

E’ possibile esercitare il diritto di recesso senza specificare alcun motivo mediante forma scritta (per es. lettera, fax o email) entro 7 giorni dalla data in cui è stato effettuato l’ordine o è stata consegnata la merce. In tal caso la merce deve essere prontamente restituita.

Asta Monete 15:Asta Monete 01/04/15 21:31 Pagina 181

(vedi: art. 246 § 2 , § 1 comma 1, 2 EGBGB § 312g comma 1 locuzione 1 BGB, articolo 246 § 3 EGBGB) Ai fini del rispetto dei termini di recesso è sufficiente l'invio tempestivo della dichiarazione di recesso o della merce. La dichiarazione di recesso dovrà essere indirizzata a: ACR Auctions GmbH Sendlinger Straße 24 80331 Munchen Effetti del recesso In caso di recesso affinché lo stesso sia valido, ciascuna parte deve restituire all'altra eventuali benefici ricevuti (es. interessi).

Nel caso in cui non sia possibile restituire i beni acquistati o nel caso in cui tali beni siano in tutto o in parte danneggiati, la parte acquirente è obbligata a fornire un adeguato risarcimento.

L’acquirente non deve effettuare alcun risarcimento se i beni acquistati risultano essere stati danneggiati prima della spedizione.

I beni che non possono essere spediti, verranno prelevati da ACR Auctions al vostro indirizzo.

Il rimborso dovrà essere effettuato entro 30 giorni.

Per l’acquirente il termine decorre dalla data di invio della dichiarazione di recesso o dall’invio della merce stessa, per la nostra società, dalla data di restituzione della merce.

7- Riserva di proprietà ACR Auctions ha diritto di vendere i beni conferiti nell’esercizio della propria attività.

Il cliente venditore cede dal momento del conferimento a ACR Auctions tutti i diritti sui beni posti in vendita.

Il conferente ha diritto al pagamento del prezzo pattuito solo dopo che il compratore ha pagato a sua volta il bene acquistato.

ACR Auctions si occuperà della riscossione del prezzo di vendita sino alla scadenza dei termini di pagamento contrattuali.

Nei contratti con i privati ACR Auctions si riserva la proprietà della merce sino al totale pagamento del prezzo.

Nei contratti con i commercianti ACR Auctions si riserva la proprietà della merce sino al pagamento di tutti i crediti in essere.

Fino al totale pagamento del prezzo il compratore è obbligato a: a) trattare la merce con cura evitando qualsiasi intervento di pulitura sia chimico che meccanico; b) non consentire a terzi di entrare in possesso dei beni acquistati come ad esempio in caso di pignoramento e a evitare il danneggiamento o la distruzione degli stessi; c) comunicare immediatamente il trasferimento di possesso dei beni nonché il cambio di domicilio 8- Responsabilità per difetti Se i beni acquistati dovessero presentare vizi palesi, tra i quali anche danni da trasporto, il compratore è obbligato a comunicare immediatamente a ACR Auctions l’esistenza di tali vizi o danni.

Se il compratore è un privato, la mancata denuncia di tali danni non ha conseguenza sui diritti acquisiti.

Può accadere che singoli pezzi siano disponibili in più esemplari uguali. Non è sempre possibile illustrare o elencare tutti i pezzi in un catalogo o sul sito internet. La fornitura di un pezzo uguale non illustrato non costituisce inadempimento contrattuale, salvo che abbiate espressamente indicato nell'ordinazione di voler ricevere esattamente il pezzo illustrato e descritto.

Si garantisce l'autenticità di tutti i beni offerti in asta. Al committente spettano tutti i diritti di garanzia previsti dalla legge.

L’acquirente privato ha facoltà di chiedere a sua scelta, ove possibile, la rimozione del vizio o la fornitura di merce equivalente priva non danneggiata (adempimento a posteriori).

Se il tipo di adempimento a posteriori scelto dovesse essere connesso a spese di entità sproporzionata, il diritto di garanzia si perfeziona nell’altro modo previsto.

Ulteriori diritti, in particolare quello del recesso dal contratto, potranno essere rivendicati soltanto dopo il decorso di un ter-

Asta Monete 15:Asta Monete 01/04/15 21:31 Pagina 182

mine adeguato per l'adempimento a posteriori, oppure dopo due tentativi di adempimento a posteriori falliti, oppure anche nel caso in cui ACR Auctions si rifiuta di effettuare l'adempimento a posteriori.

Se il venditore è un commerciante, ACR Auctions ha la facoltà di scegliere fra la rimozione dei vizi o la fornitura di merce non danneggiata entro un anno a decorrere dalla data di consegna, conformemente al § 439 BGB. Decorso di un anno dalla data di consegna, i diritti di garanzia dell'imprenditore si limitano alla rimozione dei vizi oppure ad un accredito del valore attuale della merce, a scelta di ACR Auctions.

9- Protezione dei dati Tutti i dati personali sono normalmente oggetto di segretezza e non vengono trasmessi a terzi.

10- Limitazione della responsabilità ACR Auctions è obbligata prestare risarcimento danni in base alle disposizioni contrattuali o alle norme vigenti in materia e nei casi ai casi in cui sia imputabile alla stessa dolo, colpa grave o responsabilità per l’integrità fisica dei clienti.

La responsabilità oggettiva prevista dalla normativa di legge per la garanzia sul prodotto non viene toccata.

Non viene intaccata la responsabilità derivante da un inadempimento di essenziali obblighi contrattuali.

La responsabilità sarà tuttavia limitata, salvo i casi previsti ai capoversi 1 e 2, a danni prevedibili, tipici del rapporto contrattuale.

Le suddette disposizioni non comportano una modifica a svantaggio del cliente dell'onere della prova.

11- Diritto applicabile e foro competente Il Foro competente per qualsiasi controversia è quello di Monaco di Baviera sede della ACR Auctions GmbH. La legge applicata è quella tedesca con l'esclusione della Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sui contratti per la vendita internazionale di beni.

Tale norma si applica anche se il foro competente per il cliente non è in Germania e anche se non è conosciuta la sua residenza o il domicilio abituale al momento dell’avvio dell'azione legale.

L’eventuale inefficacia di una o più disposizioni indicate nelle presenti “Condizioni generali di vendita” non intacca la validità delle rimanenti disposizioni.

Le disposizioni ritenute parzialmente o totalmente illegittime, saranno sostituite da altre aventi un valore economico equivalente.

Nel caso in cui vi sia una eventualità imprevista, le parti provvederanno a stipulare un accordo che sia valido per entrambi in conformità con il contenuto del contratto stesso.

Le presenti condizioni di vendita sono accettate automaticamente da quanti concorrono all'asta e sono a disposizione di qualsiasi interessato che ne faccia richiesta.
