Philip I Arabs, 244-249. Dupondius 248, Rome, on the city's 1000th anniversary. Bust / cippus. RIC 162 C. 197 10.14 g. Dark brown patina, rare good Very nice
Ex auction Leu 10, 1974, 319 (hammer price: 1700 CHF).

While Claudius (47) and Antoninus Pius (147) used the founding date of 753 B.C. As a basis, Philippus Arabs assumed the Capitoline era, which began a year later. The boundary stone (cippus terminalis) is used in Roman iconography to mark the beginning and end.

Notes: Both old catalog provenances were lucky finds ("in the wild," at least). Having scanned all the Buy-Bid Sales for anything I might recognize, I then combed through Berk's less well-known FPLs. The Weaver list isn't online, but I got it in a group lot of FPLs from the 2021 sale of BCD Library Duplicates. It still had the postage & address label to the well-known coin dealer Henry Christensen. (The interesting provenance for the catalog itself makes finding the coin even more exciting! Those are my favorites-of-favorites. I shared it in "Old Auction Catalogue Madness!" reply 298: [LINK].)

BCC CG18 Herodian Oil Lamp FragmentHerodian Oil Lamp Nozzle
Caesarea Maritima
Late 1st Cent. BCE-Middle 1st Cent. CE
Fragment of a "Jerusalem" Type Herodian
oil lamp consisting of a complete nozzle
attached to a remnant of the body. (Adler
type JERU.1). This lamp had a rounded
wheel-made body and a nozzle that was
made separately, joined to the body, and
then smoothed with a blade, giving it a
splayed shape and concave sides. Decoration
is sparse, consisting of small incised circles
on either side of the wick hole, a horizontal
hashed line across the middle, and two more
circles along the base of the nozzle. The
fine-grained clay has a light charcoal grey
appearance from firing in a low oxygen
environment. This piece, though only a
fragment, is interesting in that it clearly
shows the internal connection of the two
parts that would otherwise be very difficult
to observe.
Dim. L3.8 x W4.6 x H2.7cm. Wt: 13.84gm.

finds from Jerusalem, the lamp nozzles paralleling

in Sepphoris, Iotapata, Gamla, Meiron and Avdat/ Eboda".

BCC CG28 "Daroma" Oil Lamp FragmentDecorated Oil Lamp Fragment
Caesarea Maritima
1st-2nd Century CE
Fragment of an Early Roman oil lamp
(Adler type D.3) consisting of a complete
nozzle and a remnant of the body. This
sub-type of the mould-made "Daroma" or
"Southern" group of oil lamps, is found in
two areas - along the northern coast of
Israel and in the Samaria Hills. Decoration
on these lamps, in this case an egg and
dart design, typically consists of a limited
number of simple patterns surrounding
a large filler hole and encircled by a rim.
The fabric of this piece is a medium fine
grained, light tan clay, with faint traces
of pale red/orange slip. The inside of the
nozzle shows evidence of the two part mould
seam which was smoothed over externally.
4.4 x 3.25 x 1.95cm. Weight: 11.76gm.
