EUBOEA, Euboean League, Chalkis, and Karystos. Lot of 326 AR Drachms (291; 157 from Chalkis, 130 Euboean League a n d 4 Karystos), Hemidrachms (27, all from Chalkis), and Didrachms (10, all from Karystos) from the W.R Wallace Collection. Euboean League coins: In 1956, the ANS published The Euboian League and its Coinage, by W.R Wallace as NNM #134. This work became the standard reference on Euboean League coinage and the Euboean coins in this lot represent part of the material used in that effort. All of the Euboean League coins are drachms with a female head on the obverse, and bull's head on the reverse, 2 high relief, 10 without symbols, and the remaining with various symbols. For the most part, the coins in this lot represent the bottom end of the material, the coins that are broken, corroded, over-cleaned and otherwise damaged, though all are listed in the catalog on pages 143-176. Only one coin is plated, coin # 89. This group represents only a small percentage of the coins listed as belonging to the Wallace collection. Chalkis: The coins from Chalkis represent the largest portion of this lot (157 drachms and 27 hemidrachms). The obverse features the head of a nymph, the reverse an eagle. The drachms have various symbols on the reverse including a flower, trident, trophy, kantharos, wreath, monogram and caduceus. Like the Euboean League coins, the coins from Chalkis are in generally poor condition, most being low grade with problems. Karystos: The drachms in this group all have a head of Herakles on the obverse and a kneeling cow on the reverse. The didrachm features a female cow suckling two calves on the obverse and a rooster on the reverse. Again, all of the coins are in a poor state of preservation. All of the coins in this lot were purchased

by Wallace in the late 40‫׳‬s and early 50's. Most, but not all, of the coins are traceable to their original hoard, as published in An Inventory of Greek Coin Hoards, 165,167A, 167B, 177,205 and 239. The largest percentage are traceable to Hoard 177, including all of the Karystos, all the Chalkis hemidrachms and most of the Euboean League coins. Those that are not directly traceable probably originated from these hoards also. This lot is geared for the academically inclined and would make an excellent study group.

This lot should be examined and will be sold AS IS, N O RETURNS ALLOWED. 326 coins in this lot. ($3000) 4

LYCIA. Uncertain Dynast. Circa 480-460 BC. AR Stater (9.39 gm).

The boar appears on the earliest one sided staters ofLycia, tlw lion scalp on the reverse of only one issue, with Pegasos obverse (cf. Von Aulock 4082). Hill in BMC Lycia pg.xlii rejects the theory that the lion scalp, native to Samos, was taken up by Lycia at the revolt of440 BC. He places the type around 395 BC. However, to have both of these early types appear together, along with a dynast's name, may suggest an earlier date; in fact this may be thefirst Lycian coin with a dynast's name.

In July 0fll8J\D, Hadrian made hisfirstappearance in Rome as emperor to celebrate a Parthian triumph in the name of Trajan. He was quickly called away to Moesia to subdue the Sarmatians and Roxolani. While away, four high ranking senators, Lucius Quietus, Cornelius Palma, L. Publius Celsus and C. Avidius were executed by the senatefor an alleged conspiracy against Hadrian, despite a promise by Hadrian not to execute members of the Senate. To calm a suspiscious public opinion, Hadrian held a week long gladiatorial show, granted an extra public largesse and as this coin advertises, relinquished the public debt to the state equalling 900 million sestertii. This event culminated in an elaborate ceremony held in the Forum of Trajan where all records of these debts were set on fire.

This coin raises an interesting question ? Was the Roman government removing denarii from circulation and restiking them asantoninianiona regular basis or is tlus just an isolated incident? 771 is would result in a wonderful profit for the government and could explain the widefluctuations in the weights ofantoniniani. A quick scan of our last couple auctions shows antoniniani of this period weighing from 2.6 gm to 5.1 gm. Perhaps all the 2.6 to 3.5gm antoniniani are overstruck on denarii ivith no traces of undertype visible. Any thoughts on the subject?

The reverse type with VOT XXX is not a new type, as it was also struck at Rome, Heraclea and Ticinum and was struck in conjunction with Constantine's vicenallia celebrations in 325-326 AD. Its place at the mint of Constantinople is pretty easy to determine; tlie laureate head, the absence of MAX in the obverse legend and the A/CONS mintmarkfirmly place this coin as one of thefirst types struck after the opening of the mint in 326. This coin was probably simultaneously struck with the camp gate issue of326.

The striking ofgold at the newly recovered Carthage mint begins with the extremely rare ΑΦΡ solidus of537/538 AD. Like the equally rare ROMOB solidus from Rome, the Africa solidus marks the return of a lost part of the Roman empire to the central authority in Constantinople. The later gold issues of Carthage are unique in being dated, using either the cyclical indictional year or the regnal year. The letters after the reverse legend are not officina indicators, but dates. Justinian's infrequent gold issues can be seen as garrison coinage, coinciding with known military activity in Africa, including unrest fomented by unpaid troops, such as was the case in 538, when the prefect Solomon arrivedfrom Constantinople to calm the situation. In later reigns, from Justin II onward, the production of gold became standardized, refleeting the inaeasing wealth of the African province. Carthaginian solidi continued their distinctive development, the typically smaller flans eventually becoming almost globular, while keeping the dating system used only at Carthage. This lot and thefollowing lots under Justin II, Maurice and Phocas offer a significant overview of the coinage of the Carthage mint.

McKenna notes in his article that this appears to be two coins fused together. The seam is obvious on the edge where someone "ran a sharp tool around most of the depression between the halves to scrape dcrwn to the bare metal. " The only real question is did this occur during ancient times when "probably thefirst coin struck clung to the reverse die, but instead of making a brockage it fused to the hot flan of the second coin when it was struck" or is it a modem fabrication? It appear to be ancient but you decide!
