AUKTIONSBEDINGUNGEN Dies ist eine Versteigerung von Classical Numismatic G r o u p , Inc. (CNG) bei der n u r schriftliche Gebote akzeptiert werden. Sie können daran persönlich teilnehmen oder Ihre Gebote schriftlich einreichen. Durch die Abgabe eines Gebotes erkennen Sie die nachstehenden Versteigerungsbedingungen an:

8. Die Bieter haften persönlich für die Bezahlung ihrer erfolgreichen Gebote; hierin eingeschlossen sind die Bieter, die Gebote von anderen Parteien auf Provisionsbasis abgeben, u n d die Bieter, die juristische Personen oder andere Rechtsträger vertreten. Käufer, die für Gebote von anderen Parteien Provisionen erhalten, geben die Gebote auf ihr eigenes Risiko ab, u n d sie sind für die volle Begleichung gemäß diesen Auktionsbedingungen verantwortlich.

1. Die aufgeführten Lose werden von CNG auf eigene Rechnung, als Vertreter verschiedener Besitzer u n d Einlieferer versteigert. CNG behält sich das Recht Gebote zurückzuweisen, d e n Rufpreis zu bestimmen, die Steigerungsstufen festzulegen, die Reihenfolge der Lose zu verändern, bei Unklarheiten das Los neu aufzurufen, Lose von der Versteigerung zurückzuziehen, im Namen von CNG und der Einlieferer zu bieten, sowie den Einlieferer auf seine eigenen Lose bieten zu lassen.

9. In d e m Fall, daß ein erfolgreicher Bieter die Rechnung nicht vollständig innerhalb von 30 Tagen begleicht, behält sich CNG das Recht vor, den Kauf rückgängig zu machen u n d die Waren erneut zu verkaufen; der Bieter erklärt sich damit einverstanden, alle anfallenden Kosten eines solchen Verkaufs zu zahlen und auch für den Fehlbetrag zwischen dem Wiederverkaufspreis und dem Preis des vormals erfolgreichen Gebotes aufzukommen. CNG behält sich auch alle Rechte vor, die sich für CNG aus dem Handelsgesetzbuch für Pennsylvanien, d e m Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code, ergeben; hierin eingeschlossen ist das Recht, jedwede nach erfolgtem Zuschlag fällig gewordenen Beträge, gegen beliebige künftige Einlieferungen, Ankäufe, Gelder oder Güter, die sich im Besitz von CNG befinden, aufzurechnen.

2. Auf alle Lose wird ein Aufgeld von 10% auf den Zuschlagspreis erhoben.

3. Die Echtheit aller M ü n z e n wird garantiert. Alle Beschreibungen geben die persönliche Beurteilung des Verfassers wieder, es wird insoweit keine Gewähr geleistet. Bitte beachten Sie, daß eine Auktion Käufe zur Ansicht ausschließt.

Lose, die vor d e m Verkauf besichtigt wurden, u n d Lose, die von bei der Versteigerung anwesenden Bietern (einschließlich Bietern, die Gebote im N a m e n anderer Parteien auf Provisionsbasis abgeben) gekauft wurden, können aus keinem Grund zurückgegeben werden, ausgenommen bei mangelnder Echtheit. Alle Reklamationen, ausgenommen Ansprüche in Bezug auf mangelnde Echtheit, müssen innerhalb von fünf Tagen nach d e m Erhalt der Ware vorgebracht werden. Ansprüche auf Grund mangelnder Echtheit müssen von d e m ursprünglichen Käufer in schriftlicher Form sofort nach Kenntnis, gestellt werden; u n d bei der Geltendmachung eines solchen Anspruchs muß der ursprüngliche Käufer die Ware sofort in dem gleichen Zustand an CNG zurückgeben, in d e m sich die Ware zum Zeitpunkt der Auktion befand. Bei Zahlung mit Kreditkarte stehen die Auktionsbedingungen bezüglich der Rückgabe rechtlich über dem Rückgaberecht des Kreditkartenausstellers. Schätzwerte sind nur als Richtlinien gedacht und stellen keine verbindlich Erklärung über den Wert dar.

10. Umsatzsteuer, Porto, Transportkosten u n d Versicherung fallen in den Verantwortungsbereich des Käufers und werden allen Rechnungen, falls zutreffend, hinzugerechnet. Für Käufer in der Europäischen Union kann CNG die Lose vor dem Versand nach Großbritannien importieren u n d d e m Käufer die entstandene Mehrwertsteuer berechnen. Der Käufer erklärt sich bereit, angefallene u n d nicht entrichtete Steuern auch dann, w e n n sie von CNG nicht in Rechnung gestellt w u r d e n auf Verlangen zusammen mit aufgelaufenen Zinsen, sowie eventuell auferlegte Strafen zu bezahlen. Es fällt in den Verantwortungsbereich des Käufers, die Zollbestimmungen u n d andere Regeln im Ausland zu erfüllen.

11. Die erzielten Preise werden nach dem Verkauf bekanntgegeben und werden zusammen mit der nächsten Veröffentlichung von CNG versandt.

12. Die Bieter verzichten hiermit auf alle sich aus dieser Auktion ergebenden Ansprüche hinsichtlich Schadenersatz für Aufwendungen, Schadenersatz für Folgeschäden oder einer über den verursachten Schaden hinausgehenden Entschädigung. Das einzige Recht, das einem Teilnehmer an der Auktion auf Grund eines auf die Auktion z u r ü c k g e h e n d e n A n s p r u c h e s oder einer entsprechenden Streitfrage zusteht, besteht in einer zinslosen Rückvergütung des ganzen oder eines Teils des gezahlten Kaufpreises.

4. Die Bezahlung wird sofort nach Erhalt der Rechnung fällig. Sollte die Rechnung nicht innerhalb von 30 Tagen nach der Auktion bezahlt sein, wird ein Zinssatz von 2% pro Monat oder die höchstmögliche gesetzlich erlaubte Zinsrate ab dem letzten Auktionstag fällig. Die Zahlung kann in bar, mit Scheck, mit Banküberweisung oder mit Kreditkarte (Visa, MasterCard, oder American Express) erfolgen. Eine Verwaltungsgebühr von 3,5% wird auf alle Rechnungen aufgeschlagen, die jedoch bei Barzahlung, Scheckzahlung oder Banküberweisung, die bei CNG innerhalb 30 Tagen nach der Auktion eingehen, nichtig wird. Allen erfolgreichen Bietern außerhalb von Nordamerika und Großbritannien w i r d zusätzlich ein Betrag in H ö h e von US-$15,- für Bankgebühren in Rechnung gestellt; Käufer können jedoch diese Gebühr von ihrer Zahlung abziehen, w e n n sie die Bezahlung auf die oben geforderte Weise vornehmen.

13. Alle Rechte, die Bietern oder Käufern von CNG gewährt werden oder ihnen anderweitig zur Verfügung stehen, und zwar gemäß diesen Auktionsbedingungen oder anderweitig, sind persönlicher Art und können nicht an eine andere Person oder einen Rechtsträger abgetreten oder übertragen werden, sei es durch gesetzlichen Rechtsübergang oder anderweitig. Keine dritte Partei kann sich auf Leistungen oder Rechte berufen, die durch diese Auktionsbedingungen gegeben werden. Bieter, die als Vertreter handeln, müssen diese Vertretimg CNG vor der Auktion in schriftlicher Form offenlegen; andernfalls sind die Rechte auf den Vertreter beschränkt u n d sind nicht auf den nicht offengelegten Auftraggeber übertragbar.

5. Bieter, die CNG nicht bekannt sind, müssen CNG eine zufriedenstellende Kreditreferenz zur Verfügung stellen oder ein Depot hinterlegen, dessen Höhe von CNG festgelegt wird, ehe sie Gebote abgeben können. Minderjährige dürfen ohne die schriftliche Zustimmung eines Elternteils, der die Zahlung garantiert, nicht bieten. CNG kann von jedem Käufer Vorauskasse verlangen.

Die versteigerten Lose bleiben bis zur vollständigen Bezahlung aller Forderungen v o n C N G Eigentum der Verkäufer. Nach Erhalt der Lose übernehmen die Käufer die volle Verantwortung für Verluste oder Schäden.

CNG übernimmt keine H a f t u n g für Waren, die an die angegebene Adresse, nicht aber an den Käufer persönlich ausgeliefert werden.

14. Ein Rechtsstreit hinsichtlich dieser Auktion unterliegt des Gesetzen von Pennsylvanien und kann n u r von dem Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas oder dem U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania gerichtlich entschieden werden; alle Bieter unterwerfen sich für diesen Zweck auf Grund einer Zustellung durch eingeschriebene Post den Staatshoheitsrechten dieser Gerichte und verzichten auf alle gegensätzlichen Bestimmungen der Artikel 14 oder 15 des französischen Bürgerrechtes und ähnliehen Bestimmungen in anderen Gerichtsbarkeiten. In einem Rechtsstreit hinsichtlich dieser Auktion ist die obsiegende Partei berechtigt, ihre angemessenen Kosten und Rechtsanwaltskosten erstattet zu bekommen.

6. Die Schätzungen sind in US-Dollar (US-$) und alle Gebote müssen auf gerade Dollarbeträge (US‫־‬$) lauten. CNG führt schriftliche Gebote im Namen der Bieter aus. Vorbehaltlich der Mindestgebote und Rufpreise werden schriftliche Gebote eine Steigerungsstufe (von etwa 10%) über dem nächsthöchsten Gebot während der Versteigerung zugeschlagen. Bei gleichhohen Geboten wird der Zuschlag dem zuerst abgegebenen Gebot erteilt. Ein schriftliches Gebot hat Vorrang vor einem, das während der Versteigerung abgegeben wird. Das Bieten erfolgt nach Losnummern. Die Lose werden nicht aufgeteilt. Die Bieter sind für Fehler beim Bieten selbst verantwortlich. Überprüfen Sie Ihren Gebotsbogen gründlich.

15.

Im Falle einer Streitfrage Auktionsbedingungen rechtskräftig.

Ihre schriftlichen Gebote müssen bis zum 23. Juni 1999 bei uns eingehen.

7. Eine Anmerkung zu Mindestgeboten (Limiten). CNG behält sich das Recht vor, für beliebige Lose ein Mindestgebot (Limit) festzulegen. Jedoch ist kein Mindestgebot (Limit) höher als der Schätzwert, und gewöhnlich werden Lose zu 60% des Schätzwertes ausgerufen, w e n n kein anderes Gebot (Limit) vorliegt.

Cornelius C. Vermeule III Cornelius Clarkson Vermeule III was born in Orange, New Jersey on August 10,1925. A collector from an early age, he acquired his first Roman coin at the age of 12. He enrolled at Harvard University, only to have his academic studies delayed by five years of Army service during World War II, and then received his A.B. in 1949 and his M.A. in 1951. He then earned his doctoral degree from the University of London in 1953.

It was during Dr. Vermeule's time in London that the majority of his Roman Imperial bronze collection was assembled. He attended many of the important auctions that were held in London during this period including the Leopold Messenger, Henry Piatt Hall and V.J.E. Ryan sales.

Dr. Vermeule returned to the United States in 1953 and first taught classical archaeology at the University of Michigan (1953-1955), and then at Bryn Mawr College (1955-1957).

While at Bryn Mawr he met a former acquaintance, Emily Dickinson Townsend, who would become his wife. Married on February 2,1957, the couple would have two children, Emily Dickinson Blake Vermeule and Cornelius Adrian Comstock Vermeule.

In 1956 Dr. Vermeule was appointed Curator of Classical Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It would be from his post at Boston that he would define his career as an outstanding curator and classical scholar. A prolific author, Dr. Vermeule's published works are varied and numerous. A few that should be mentioned in the present context are: Japanese Coinage, 1953 (with Norman Jacobs), revised edition, 1972; A Bibliography of Applied Numismatics, 1956; Numismatic Art in America: Aesthetics of the United States Coinage, 1971; Roman Medallions, 1975 (with Mary Comstock); and Numismatic Art of the Greek Imperial World, 1986.

Dr. Vermeule is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Royal Numismatic Society and the Society of Antiquaries in London. He is a lifetime fellow of the American Numismatic Society where he has been a member of the Council, the Committee on Far Eastern Coins and the Huntington Medal Award Committee. He retired from the Museum of Fine Arts in 1996 at which time he was named Curator Emeritus by the Trustees of the Museum.

The words of Dr. John Herrmann, a present curator in the Classical Department of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, sums u p Dr. Vermeule's impact on numismatics best: "Cornelius Vermeule has been an avid collector of Roman coins since boyhood. At an early age he elevated his hobby to a high level of expertise, becoming an important numismatist. He is, in fact, one of the leaders in coupling numismatic expertise to the study of ancient sculpture. His prolific 9

writings have long made use of this technique and have been pioneering — especially in exploring the artistic significance of Roman coinage from the eastern provinces (i.e., Greek Imperial coinage). His is a famous name both among numismatists and historians of ancient art.

The collection — particularly of coins from the mint of Rome itself — was largely compiled before he came to the Museum of Fine Arts. During his years in England he bought avidly via London dealers from old British collections, and many illustrious provenances are recorded in his notes. (Since coming to Boston, of course, his collecting activities have been largely dedicated to enriching the Museum of Fine Art's holdings.)"

CNG is proud to offer the Cornelius C. Vermeule III Collection of Roman Imperial Bronze Coinage. It should be noted that in addition to the Roman coinage offered here as the first 366 lots, a selection of Greek and Roman Provincial coinage from the Vermeule collection is also offered in this catalogue (denoted by his provenance). The balance of the Vermeule collection will be offered in Triton III this December.

Not the highest grade sestertius of Pius that we have handled, but perhaps the best struck sestertius we have ever seen. Struck so luird that the edge of the flan began to curl up and around the die on the obverse. Every letter is fully struck and deep and could probably be read by a blind man. Obviously the first coin struck on a Monday morning after a long weekend of rest!

The reverse of this medallion portrays the legendary arrival of the serpent Aesculapius in Rome in 291 BC, from its home in Epidaurus. While disembarking from the galley along the banks of the Tiber, the serpent swam to the island of Mesopotamia and it was here that the Temple of Aesculapius xuas built. This is the only instance in the entire Roman series on which the name Aesculapius appears on a coin or medallion. This was part of a large series of Roman legendary types struck between 139 and 147 AD to prepare the way for the 900th anniversary of Rome in 147 AD.

It is possible that this is the same obverse die as Gnecchi pi. 149, 1, which Gnecchi records as TR Ρ XXIII (160 AD).

An unusual coin, of an uncertain denomination. It's not an antoninianus because it is laureate and denarii of the period are much smaller. It has been called a double antoninianus, but double antoniniani of Probus have a double radiate crown and one would expect the same thing on coins of Gallienus.

Asses are on thicker flans and have SC on the reverse. Aurei of the period are of a much different style, so it's probably not an aureus struck on an antoninianus flan. With everything else eliminated, it must be some sort of special issue medallion. Nothing else like it is recorded.

On the 10th of December 192 AD, Commodus entered his 18th Tribunician year. Coins showing this Tribunician date are extremely rare, known only from a feu‫ ׳‬denarii and sestertii. Medallions bearing this date though are known with six different reverse types, including this coin, all of which s hou· Cominodus as Hercules. All of the medallions are very rare, Toynbee recorded 39 total specimens of the six types. These coins were evidently prepared ahead of time to be given out as gifts, either on the 10th of December or 1st of January. Commodus, though, u'ould not see January 1st, as he was murdered on the evening of December 31st. It is quite likely that some of those receiving these medallions as gifts received them along with the news that Commodus had been murdered.

Marcus Junius Brutus and C. Cassius Longinus left for Greece in August of 44 BC, having failed to win popular support at Rome following the assassinaHon of Caesar. In the next tivo years the tyrannicides collected an immense umr chest as they assembled their forces for the contest against Antony and Octavinn. The historian Appian (Bell. Civ. IV. 75) tells us that L. Brutus struck from the treasures consigned to him by Polemocratia, the widow of the Thracian dynast Sadalas. 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. The obverse depicts the great consul L. Junius Brutus, who expelled the Tarquinsfrom Rome in 509 BC, accompanied by two lictors bearing axes. The design is copied from the denarius issued by M. Junius Brutus when lie was a moneyer in 54 BC (Crawford 433/1). The reverse, an eagle standing on a sceptre and holding a victory wreath, was evidently a stnndard type at Rome and occurs on the coinage of Q. Pomponius Rufus (Crawford 398/1). The monogram is to be read as BR or LBR (Brutus or L. Brutus). The designs express Brutus' propaganda in the civil war perfectly: the obverse represents the historic fight against tyranny, and the reverse represents the victorious Roman eagle.

The statue of Athena Polias stood in the Erecthion and this is the only extant representation of it.

This is one of the most historically significant JE in Athenian history. It is the counterpart of the dated 'New Style' silver and gold signed by King Mithradates VI of Pontos and the Athenian tyrant Aristion. Athens liad allied itself with Mithradates in revolt against Rome. In 86 BC Sulla took Athens by siege. This issue was demonetized, some being defaced xuith an X. Although struck in quantity, production was hurried and many look worn even though they could not lwve circulated for more than a year.

The double-striking of this coin has compressed the head of Athena to only half its normal size, but as compensation there are three owls on the reverse!

Alexander the Great defeated a Persian force at the river Granicus in the first important battle after his invasion of Asia in 334 BC. Spithridates, the Satrap of Lydia and Ionia, ivas one of the Persian commanders. Arrian (Loeb translation, 1.14-15) describes Spithradates' role in the battle: "For some time the two forces, on the river's brink, dreading to precipitate the event, remained at ease, and in deep silence. The Persians aiuaited the Macedonians, to fall on them emerging from the river, so soon as they should attempt the crossing; but Alexander flung himself on to his horse, and... he himself leading the right xving — bugles sounding, and the battle cry going up to the God of Battles — boldly takes to the stream... The First of the Macedonians came into conflict with the Persians and were cut down, after prodigies of valor, all to a man, save those who fell back on Alexander as he approached... He charged the Persians, himself the first to attack, just where the press of cavalry and where the Persian commanders were posted. A fierce fight raged about him... Alexander seeing Mithridates, son-in-law of Dareius..., charges forth in advance of his men, thrusts his lance into Mithridates'face and hurls him to the ground. But Rhoesaces rode at Alexander, and smote him on the head with his cleaver; he sheared off part of the helmet, but still the helmet parried the blow. Alexander hurled him also to the ground, piercing with his lance through the cuirass into his breast. Spithridates had already raised his scimitar to cut down Alexander, but Cleitus, son of Dropides, smartly slipping in, drove Spithridates' shoulder and shore it o f f , scimitar and all; and noie those of the cavalry who had made good their way on the river bank kept coming up and joining the little band around Alexander."

($400) ΛΑΟΔΙΚΕΩΝ A curious one year type, where the normal Seleukeia legend, ΤΗΣ ΙΕΡΑΣ ΑΥΤΟΝΟΜΟΥ—• "Laodikeia Sacred and Autonomous" — has been replaced by the neutral "Laodikeia by the Sea". Morkhelm dates this change to 48/47 BC, when the status of many cities in the east was in flux after Caesar's decisive victory over Pompey at Pharsalos. Laodikeia de-emphasized its titles and rights to autonomy until 47 BC, when Caesar passed through the city, confirming its status and bestowing the name Julia-Laodikeia on it.

Morkhelm does not note the clear change in style present on these scarce pieces.

The heavy featured Tyche of earlier issues has been given a "facelift" — the rolls of flesh on the neck tightened, and the cheek and forehead strengthened.

One can imagine the nervous citizens of Laodikeia presenting the dictator with sampies of their new improved coin, hoping for his approbation.

T o n e d VF, s o f t strike. E x t r e m e l y Rare. ($2500) The unusual minting feature, with part of the design in relief and part incuse, is known from the mints ofArados, Sidon and Tyre as well. An interesting artieie on this particular minting technique was written by Paul Naster in the Centennial Publication of The American Numismatic Society, see pages 503-511. This technique was first used in Tyre in about 450 BC with their first coins and used finally at Byblos by King Elpaal circa 400 BC. The reverse of this coin is particularly interesting and unusual because it reflects ancient Egyptian iconography tluit is found on several Phoenician coins. There is the walking king xvearing the tall white crown of Upper Egypt on the reverse of the tetrashekel of Sidon, and the Egyptian owl holding the royal symbols of a crook and flail on the shekel of Tyre. Here the vulture and the ram appear to represent the two major gods of the Egyptian pantheon: the animal ofAmun, the chief of the gods, is a ram while the vulture is the symbol of Iiis wife, the goddess Mut. An exceptional coin from an early period from which feio coins have survived.

This type is usually struck on medallic-sized flans (ca. 45mm), but in this case, due to the smaller flan diameter, the engraver was forced to use every bit of available field space, including between the soldier's and horse's legs, in order to accommodate the legend.

Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. Mytilene issued a rare series of bronzes honoring important men and women who were either connected with the history of the city or distinguished citizens.

The first coin in this series appears to be an issue honoring the historian and politician Theophanes and his wife Archedamis. Theoplwnes was a friend of Pompey, and it irns his influence that won the city its freedom from Pompey in 62 BC (Plutarch, Pompey. 42), hence the reason for the coin issue (RPC 2342).

An inscription mentioning a Flavia Publicia Nicomachis as being a Prytanis (πρυτανισ) or 'Councillor' of Mytilene was published by Wanuick Wroth (Classical Review. May 1894, pp. 226-227), and it is most likely that it is this Flavia Nicomachis depicted on our coin. Her mother, Julia Procula, is also depicted on the coinage of Mytilene. The Sextus depicted on the obverse is unknown but he is probably related to Flavia. Wroth assigns a date for this coin to the period of the Antonines, based on similarities in the style of Flavia's portrait to that of Faustina Senior.

($400) The Romans revived the coinage of King Philip Philadelphos in the 50s BC under the proconsul Aulus Gabinius. Issues were minted with the monograms of Gabinius, Crassus and Cassius, and then circa 49/48 BC the proconsul's monogram was replaced by one standing for either Antioch or 'Autonomous'.

Aulus Gabinius gained fame as one ofPontpey the Great's generals, and in his position as governor of Syria he played an important role in the inter-family battles of the jeivish priest-kings, the Hasmoneans. See David Hendin's Guide to Biblical Coins (3rd Edition) pp. 266-268 for more on this fascinating Roman general.

This type and the so-called "Ploughman" type are usually included in the Alexandrian mythological and pictorial coin series. Although they are not mythological in derivation, they may represent their respective constellations or seasons. Perhaps the common "Nilus reclining' types represent the inundation of the Nile, the most important 'season'for the ancient Egyptians.

This rare coin is part of a series tlwt was issued by the famous dictator, L. Sulla Felix, and this particular type may have been issued for the occasion of Sulla's arrival in Rome in 82 BC, after the defeat of Marius and his supporters. The reverse type of a cornucopiae, the symbol of Fortuna, suggests that this issue of coinage by Sulla was intended to help defray the expenses of a special largesse of grain given to the citizens of Rome.

The triskeles alludes to his conquest of Sicily in 212210 BC, the spoils from which rescued the state from imminent bankruptcy.

The reverse type commemorates his spolia opina, the arms won in 222 BC lohen, as consul, he slew an Insubrian chieftain with his own hands in the course of the Roman conquest of Cisalpine Gaul.

Good VF, b a n k e r ' s m a r k o n cheek, h a i r l i n e flan crack. ($400) P. Cornelius Lentulus Spinther and M. Servilius were joint legates to Cassius and Brutus, and both issued coins in the names of both generals. Lentulus Spinther was born in 74 BC and assumed the toga virilis in 57 BC, and in the same year was elected to the college of augurs. After the murder of Caesar, he joined the parties of Cassius and Brutus and was probably killed at Philippi. The reverse type of this coin refers to Lentulus' appointment to the college of augurs and is one of the feiu instances in imperatoria! coinage in which a moneyer used a reverse type that 1ms personal to himself.

It seems probable that this was the first type to be issued in the IMP CAESAR series as it supersedes an otherwise identical denarius ivith the earlier CAESAR DIVI F legend (RIC 263). It seems likely that the reverse type commemorates Octavian's victorious entry into Alexandria on August 1, while the obverse looks back to Actium.

Very little is known of the usurper Tiberius Claudius Marinus Pacatianus, who seized power in Upper Moesia in 248 AD. It is believed that Pacatian was killed by his own troops shortly after he seized control.

Viminacium is the most probable sight for Pacatian's mint, and a comparison with the local aes coinage shows remarkable similarity of style. Seven different reverses were used on the antoniniani of Pacatian â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Concordia, Felicitas, Fides, Fortuna, Pax, Roma and Victory â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all common themes in the third century. Such a variety of reverse types would suggest a large issue of coins, though today all coins of Pacatian are very rare, with fewer than 100 specimens of all varieties known.

This curious coin's obverse is tlwt of RIC 55, while the reverse matches that of RIC 56 (a coin of Constantius, Galerius' colleague in the west). Both Caesars struck similar coins. The reverse type is the conventional one for the heir to the throne, depicting him as 'Prince of the Youth' (Princeps Iuventutis), a tradition stretching back three centuries to the time of Gaius and Lucius Caesars, grandsons and designated successors of Augustus.

($6000) L. Domitius Alexander led a short-lived revolt against Maxentius from 308 to 311, holding Africa and Sardinia. There is little known about this usurper, but there is evidence in an inscription (CIL viii, 22183) that he and Constantine allied themselves in opposition to Maxentius. P. Salarila in "Recherches numismatiques sur l'usurpateur africain L. Domitius Alexander," Proceedings, International Numismatic Congress 1973, pg. 365, note 2, suggests that at the latest, the pact was entered into by autumn of 310.

The reverse legend ('by this sign you shall conquer') refers to the divinely inspired vision of Constantine the Great before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, and thus alludes to Vetranio's loyalty to the house of Constantine.

Vetranio eventually handed over his legions to Constantius II at Naissus, afterward withdrawing into an honorable retirement at Prusa in Bithynia.

He was given the rank of Caesar seven years later. On the death of Constantine in 337 the Empire tuas divided between his three sons and Constantius II received the eastern provinces as his special sphere of influence.

The miliarense, introduced by Constantine in 325, was tariffed at 1/18 of the gold solidus. Its weight ivas the same as the solidus (4.50 grams or 1/72 of a pound).

Jovinus was a Gallo-Roman noble who, with the support of the Burgundians, Alemanni and Franks, usurped power in Gaul during the autumn of 411.

Virtually nothing is known of Jovinus' short reign, although it is apparent tlwt he enjoyed substantial support as he controlled the three mints of Lyon, Trier and Aries. In 412, he proclaimed his brother Sebastian co-emperor, but before the end of the following year, they were both dead as a result of the treachery of the Goth Athulfus.

The identification of Jerusalem as the mint zuas recently made by S. Bendall and M. F. Hendy, and although this is far from certain, it seems likely from the available evidence. The mint only operated sporadically, first near the end of the reign ofPhocas and then briefly under Heraclius at the beginning of his reign.

It was reopened in 613-614 in connection luitli the invasion of the east by the Persians, but then was captured when the city fell to the Sasanids in 614.

John Cantacuzenus originally placed himself in power as regent for John V in 1341, after the death of Andronicus III. By 1347 he had himself proclaimed coemperor, and in 1353 subordinated the legitimate emperor to his οιυη son Matthew. John V retreated to the island of Tenedos, protected by the Genoese, until he could marshall his forces and drive the usurpers from power the folloxving year.

($250) Egyptian ruler al-Kamil faced a renewed western crusade under Frederic II Hohenstaufen, an unwilling Crusader forced by papal excommunication to lead an expedition to free Jerusalem. Rather than decide the issue by force of arms, the Holy Roman Emperor and Ayyubid prince met at Gaza in 1226, where the two worldly leaders reached a peaceful agreement. A treaty was drafted allowing Christian access to the Holy Sepulcher, and al-Kamil was freed to deal ivith rebellious relatives in his Syrian territories. The summit at Gaza was a remarkable diplomatic achievement of the medieval world, even though the war between Muslim and Christian would erupt again all too soon.

The detail visible on this coin is remarkable. The warrior is clearly wearing a chain-mail vest and his helmet appears to be mail as well. He is carrying a carnyx, which is not a weapon but may be a standard or war trumpet. In Chris Rudd's list 31 there is a picture of the Deskford Carnyx, which is a long, straight segmented staff with an animal's head at one end, slightly curved at the other.

An unusual and interesting item. The host coin, a Nero /Is from Lugdunum, is ancient and the engraving on the reverse appears ancient, though we make no guarantee that it is ancient. We are unaware of "dog tags" being used in ancient times, but this is not our area of expertise, so this might be an ancient "dog tag." Anyone have any ideas?
