The style of the gorgoneion is similar to another series of fractions with a different obverse type (featuring the elements of a chimera, cf. CNG 85, lot 477 and Lanz 150, lot 162). Unfortunately, that series also cannot currently be assigned to a mint. Jun 09, 2012

(BC 490-460) Uncertain Dynast - Stater349 viewsUncertain dynast, ca 490/80-470/60 BC. AR Stater (20mm, 9.58g). Forepart of boar right / Triskeles in linear square within incuse square. VF, toned, die break and old scuffs under tone on obverse.
This coin defies placement within the early groups defined by Vismara (Falghera), as the obverse style is a match for the Predynastic and Protodynastic A groups, while the reverse (anepigraphic triskeles) is canonical for Protodynastic B. Nevertheless, production of all of these groups overlap in the period 490/80-470/60 BC, to which this coin must belong. Jun 09, 2012

Ionia Uncertain (BC 625-550) Geometric - EL 1/481653 viewsca 625-600 BC. EL 1/48 Stater (5mm, 0.27g). Milesian standard. Geometric type. Pellet in center of linear diamond shape within linear rectangle; striations in outer margins / Incuse square punch. VF.
The pellet within the diamond shape on the obverse is similar to the depiction of the eye on some early schematic lion head issues (cf. Weidauer 122 and Elektron II 26). It is therefore possible that these coins constitute a new denomination for that series. Jun 09, 2012

There are four emissions in Bodenstedt with this type, emissions 6, 15, 30, and 50. The latter three share common characteristics: there is a crest on the helmet, the bowl is adorned with some ornament, the eye is better formed (rather than a dot), and the seal is below the helmet. None of these characteristics are found on the first emission of this type, which features a helmet without crest, no ornamentation on the bowl, an eye formed of a large dot, and the seal placed to the right of the helmet. Additionally, the incuse on the reverse is also distinctly different from the later emissions. Jun 03, 2012

Although there are a few electrum issues known with a ram’s head (cf. Weidauer 50-1 and Boston MFA 1756), all are distinctly different in style from this coin. At the same time, the style of the ram’s head here is a perfect match to the type found on the early silver issues at Kebren (cf. Rosen 531). SNG von Aulock 7775 and NY Sale XX, lot 197 appear to be hektes with this same style. Jun 03, 2012

Silandos (AD 161-169) AE 34 - Lucius Verus375 viewsLucius Verus, 161-169 AD. AE34 (24.87g, 6h). Aulus Attalianus, strategus. Laureate and cuirassed bust left / EΠ[I • CT A ATTAΛI]NOV • AP CIΛANΔ, ΔAKIKOC/ EΠIMEΛE, statue of Dionysus, holding thyrsus, within tetrastyle temple; globe in pediment. Fine, black patina, some light roughness.
According to Imhoof-Blumer, this magistrate's name and office also appears on a coin of the same city struck for Severus Alexander. His suggestion that it is a new cognomen is noteworthy, since it may refer to the family's ultimate point of origin, and reflect some connection with Trajan's Dacian Wars. Given the presence of a Dacicus in a position of such prominence and influence almost five decades apart (whether the same individual or, much more likely, relatives), it is clear that the affluence of the Empire of the second century AD allowed for the rapid advancement of former slaves and freedman, so that they too had the wherewithal to perform the duties indicative of the provincial elite. The possibility that Dacicus is some heretofore unknown office is otherwise unsupported.May 08, 2012

Von Aulock’s catalogue of Etenna (in Münzen und Städt Pisidens) records only two types for Julia Paula from Etenna, each of which he knew from only a single specimen. These are the recurring (yet frustratingly enigmatic) types of “female being attacked by serpent as while running past a young male accompanied by dog†for the larger denomination and “two nude males running in opposite directions†for the smaller. The current specimen belongs to the latter denomination.May 08, 2012
