Home > Ionia Top rated - Ionia Smyrna (BC 42) AE 21 - C. Cassius Longinus2770 viewsC. Cassius Longinus, 42 BC. AR Denarius (3.82g). Military mint, probably at Smyrna. Lentulus Spinther, propraetor. Veiled and draped bust of Libertas right / Ewer and lituus. Toned VF. (7 votes) Samos (BC 404-394) Tridrachm4122 viewsca 404 or 394 BC. AR Tridrachm or Double Siglos (11.29g, 12h). The infant Herakles, nude but for a baldric over his left shoulder, kneeling to right on ground line, strangling a serpent with each hand, ΣΥΝ / Lion's mask facing, ΣΑ below; all within circular incuse. Extremely rare. Toned EF. From the collections of C. Gillet, 1138, R. Jameson, and the Reverend H.V. Elliott, SWH 2/1908, purchased in Asia Minor 1818-1819. This rare coin was struck to celebrate an alliance (syn = synmachikon = a coin of allies) between cities in western Asia Minor (Byzantion, Ephesos, Iasos, Knidos, Kyzikos, Lampsakos, Rhodes and Samos), which all used the common type of infant Herakles/snakes on obv with rev bearing normal city badge. It was thought that this alliance came about in 394 after the defeat of the Spartan fleet, but Karweise, Lysander as Herakliskos Drakonopnigon ('Herakles the snake-strangler'), NC 1980, has made a good case for it having taken place 10 years earlier, when the cities threw off Athenian domination with the help of the Spartan Lysander. In many ways this seems a better choice, but hoard evidence is inconclusive. (19 votes) Ephesos (AD 253-268) AE 26 - Gallienus397 viewsGallienus, 253-268 AD. AE26 (6.70g, 6h).

Facing lion's scalp / Forepart of bull right; branch behind, MAPΣYAΣ above, SA below nose, bee below. Good VF, attractively toned, well-centered. Extremely rare, one of only two coins known from this magistrate (both from the Pixodarus hoard). Ex Lanz 46 (1998), lot 278; Antiqua FPL IX (undated [2000]), no. 49; Pixodarus Hoard (CH 9, 421). (5 votes) Ionia Uncertain (BC 600-550) Lion - EL 1/21839 viewsca 600 BC. EL Hemistater (8.35g). Phokaian standard. Figural type. Head of roaring lion right / Irregular incuse. Good VF. Unique. While this coin appears to belong to Wiedauer's Series XLIII (lion head), the style of both the lion and the incuse are somewhat different. In particular, the incuses on the Wiedauer coins are shallower and have rough irregular patterns in relief. The incuse on the present coin is much deeper and has a smooth surface that flows to varying depths. Although these differences suggest this coin belongs to another series or issue, it is also possible, because there are no published hemistaters of this type, that this coin represents the norm for this particular denomination.
