Crawford 410/8, ROMAN REPUBLIC, Q. Pomponius Musa, AR DenariusRome, The Republic.
Q. Pomponius Musa, mid-50s BCE
AR Denarius (3.98g; 19mm).
Rome Mint.
Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo(?), hair tied-up, facing right; star behind.
Reverse: Q. POMPONI – MVSA; Urania, muse of astronomy, facing left, holding wand over globe on tripod.
References: Crawford 410/8; Sydenham 823; Pomponia 22.
Provenance: Ex William C. Boyd (d. 1906) Collection [Baldwin's 42 (26 Sep 2005), Lot 64]; bought from Spink in 1900.
Q. Pomponius Musa, who punned his name by depicting the Muses on a series of coins, is unknown except for his coins, which makes precise dating of the series difficult. For many years, scholars (including Crawford) dated the series to 66 BCE. However, the absence of any examples of the series in the large Mesagne hoard caused Hersh and Walker to bring down the date of the series to 56 BCE. Michael Harlan, retracting his reticence with the Mesagne dating, later proposed a date of 52 BCE.
There are two varieties of Musa denarii: the first depicts Apollo/Hercules Musarum (see my gallery example); the second, of which there are nine sub-varieties, depict Apollo and a Muse. The above coin is of the second variety.
Apollo is often depicted androgynously on ancient coins. The standard references consistently attribute the obverse heads on both varieties of Musa’s coins as Apollo; but the depictions are notably different between the Hercules Musarum variety and the nine Muse varieties. On Hercules variety, the deity’s hair is down and tied, and generally consistent with many depictions of Apollo on other Roman Republican coins (see, e.g., denarii of L. Calpurnius Piso and C. Calpurnius Piso). Comparatively, the head on the above Muse variety is considerably more feminine in appearance and laureate, though lacking earrings, necklaces or other feminine accents. Admittedly, this more feminine type head has also been attributed by scholars as Apollo on other coin types (see, e.g., denarii of P. Clodius and C. Considius). However, within the same series the different styled heads appear to depict different deities. Given the Muse emblems behind each head on the nine Muse types, it’s possible that the feminine heads do not represent Apollo, but the Muses themselves. Michael Harlan agrees with this interpretation in both editions of "Roman Republican Moneyers and their Coins." More research on this issue is needed.

England, Roman Baths, Bath (2)This is a Photochrome print of the Roman Baths, Bath, England taken sometime between 1895 and 1905.
It shows the new Victorian embellishments added to the Baths since their discovery in the 1880's and which, for the most part, are the works that visitors to the site see today.
The familiar green hue of the pool seen by modern visitors is caused by algae, resulting from the water's exposure to the open air. In Roman times the pool was roofed over and its waters, while perhaps not crystal clear, would almost certainly not have been green.
Photochrome prints are coloured images produced from black-and-white photographic negatives via the direct photographic transfer of a negative onto lithographic printing plates.

German Empire or later. 25 WERT-MARK token, with initials J.K."This type most probably comes from Nuremberg (Lauer, Balmberger?). They were sold by mobile traders and punched locally with the initials of the customer. Without find context it is impossible to say something about the identity of J.K., the user of this token. Because the spelling is WERT (without H) and not WERTH (with H) the piece is dated into the time after AD 1900. KarlAntonMartini
This token could have been used to buy a glas of beer or for a ride in a merry-go-round or something else "
Jochen (2012)
Thank you Jochen, and thank you Karl Anton Martini for the information provided on this token!

The Holey Gold HatA closer shot of my trademark headgear. The beads are semiprecious gemstone beads which I bought for something ridiculous at a museum gift shop- like two bucks for the entire lot. I thought they were classy. Will add pictures of the coins themselves when I can, and then move on to the non-gold coins on the vest. That's a work in progress. All of the gold coins on the hat, as well as the other coins on the vest, range in date from ancient times to the year 1900. I chose to cut it off the entire collection the end of the 19th century, because I had little interest in more modern holeys. I also exclude anything with a mintmade hole, or else I would be forced to wear 300 pounds of Chinese cash coins.lordmarcovan
