Apparently the second known and the finer of the two. Extremely rare depiction of the historian Herodotus. Herodotus (ca 485-425 BC) was born to a wealthy family in Halicarnassus, at the time under Persian control, although his family was exiled from the city while Herodotus was quite young and he appears to have only briefly returned to his hometown as an adult. He traveled widely and included accounts of his experiences in his famous The Histories, a description of the Graeco-Persian Wars. Cicero referred to Herodotus as “the father of history” due to his systematic investigation of historical subjects (although others have branded him “father of lies,” as Herodotus seems to have subscribed to the idea of not letting facts get in the way of a good story!).Jun 18, 2018 Antiocheia (AD 98-138) AE 25189 viewsTime of Trajan to Hadrian, 98-138 AD.

Apparently unpublished. Slightly rough, otherwise, gVF. Aside from extreme rarity, what makes the Zeus-eagle tetradrachms of Antiochia ad Maeandrum especially interesting is that the eagle comes with differing attributes and symbols. The present and apparently unpublished piece shows an eagle that is crowned with a wreath by a small Nike flying behind it. Other types include an eagle with thyrsos (see lot 109 below, also unpublished), eagle with a cornucopiae (SNG von Aulock 2417) and plain eagle (Gorny & Mosch 207 (2012), 358). These varieties all appear to be unique to certain magistrates and therefore may represent yearly issues, but the connections between the symbols and the magistrates are yet to be understood.Jun 17, 2018 Aphrodisias (AD 253-268) AE 26 - Gallienus191 viewsGallienus, 253-268 AD.
