Smyrna (BC 75-50) Drachm1077 viewsca 75-50 BC. AR Drachm (3.89g, 12h). Homereia type. Megakles, magistrate. Head of Apollo right, wearing laurel wreath / Homer seated left, holding scroll; scepter behind, MEΓAKΛ[HΣ] to left. VF, minor porosity, very light cleaning marks, small flan flaw on chin. Very rare denomination, unpublished with this magistrate.
The magistrate Megakles is only known for Milne’s period XVII coinage, and the obverse die link to the drachms of Apollonios of this period confirms this placement. While the tetradrachms of Smyrna used local reverse types not found on other denominations, the very rare drachms employ the famous ‘Homereia’ type found on the relatively common bronzes. Strabo specifically mentions this bronze coinage when, discussing the city, he says "there is also a library; and the 'Homereum', a quadrangular portico containing a shrine and wooden statue of Homer; for the Smyrnaeans also lay especial claim to the poet and indeed a bronze coin of theirs is called a Homereum" (Strabo, Geographica XIV, I.37, transl. by H.C.

Smyrna (AD 95) AE 19 - Vespasianus Jr.1042 viewsVespasianus Jr., ca 95 AD. AE 19 (3.29g). OVECΠACIANOC NEΩTEPOC Draped, bare headed bust to r. / ZMYPNAIΩN, Nike to l. holding wreath and palm branch. Extremely rare. Very fine. Ex Münzhandlung Basel; Ex Coll. Jameson 86
Vespasianus Jr. was Titus Flavius Domitianus, son of Flavia Domitilla III. In order to have heirs for his title, Domitian adopted two sons of Flavia Domitilla III who were his great-nephews. They were renamed Vespasianus and Domitianus. Soon, he realized that having potential heirs, meant a potential rival and assassination. So he had the two boys either killed or exiled after executing their father and exiling their mother. This act recoiled on him as he was murdered by Stefanus, the steward of Flavia Domitilla III. There are no known coins bearing a name or portrait for Domitianus Jr., only for Vespasianus Jr. The only locality that issued coins of Vespasian Jr. was Smyrna.Oct 07, 2008
