On this coin we encounter the first true portrait of one of Alexander's successors. The tiny letter Δ found in his hair behind the ear is the initial of the engraver, the so called Delta-Master.

Ex-ANE from an old collection
Jet black toning.
One of the great legends of Rome commemorated on a coin. It tells the story of Rome being besieged by the Sabine king Titus Tatius after the "Rape" of the Sabine women. Tarpeia, daughter of the Roman commander Spurius Tarpeius, went out to the Sabine camp and offered them entry to the city in exchange for "what they bore on their left arms". She had meant their gold bracelets worn on their arms. Once inside the citadel the Sabines threw their shields—carried on the left arm—upon her, crushing her to death. Her body was then thrown from a steep cliff of the southern summit of the Capitoline Hill. The cliff was named the Tarpeian Rock after Tarpeia and would become the place of execution for Rome's most notorious traitors. King Tatius and Romulus soon were reconciled through the efforts of the abducted Sabine women who had come to love their Roman abductors. They jointly ruled over Rome for the next 5 years until Tatius death.Jay GT402/07/14 at 22:30Antonivs Protti: Trully magnificent!

Fortuna standing left holding Victory and cornucopiae
Rome 42 BC
3.25g
Rough but much better in hand!
Sear 1466, RRC 494/32
ex-Londinium
Fortuna holding Victory shows the confidence the Triumvirs had in defeating the Ruplicans, namely Brutus and Cassius. Varus also struck this type for Octavian. It is interesting to note that on the evidence of stylistic similarity it is possible that the die-engraver responsible for the triumviral portraits was later transferred from the Capitoline mint to Antony's military mint outside the city.
The fact that Antony is again shown bearded is in reference to his mourning for Caesar's death. Only after Caesar was avenged would Antony be shown as a typical clean shaven Roman.Jay GT402/07/14 at 22:29Antonivs Protti: What a wonderful coin!

Syria, Seleucid Kings. Antiochos VII Euergetes (Sidetes). 138-129 BC. AR Tetradrachm. Tyre mint. Dated SE 177 (136/5 BC).Syria, Seleucid Kings. Antiochos VII Euergetes (Sidetes). 138-129 BC. AR Tetradrachm (30 mm, 14.20 g, 12 h). Tyre mint. Dated SE 177 (136/5 BC). Diademed and draped bust right / BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY, Eagle standing left on thunderbolt; palm frond in backgound; to left, A/PE above club surmounted by Tyre monogram; to right, A and monogram above HOP (date); monogram between legs. SC 2109.5a; Newell, Tyre 121; HGC 9, 1074.
Antiochos VII was called Sidetes because he was reared in the Pamphylian
seaport of side. He was the younger son of Demetrios I. his elder brother Demetrius II was captured by the Parthians. He undertook the reconquest of
Palestine, he besieged and captured Jerusalem. ( 134 BC).
Ultimately the ruling high priest John Hyrcanus accepted seleucid suzerainty,
though retaining autonomy with respect to internal affairs.
Antiochos temporarily recovered Babylonia from the Parthians, but while
wintering in Media he was caught off guard by a native revolt coordinated
with an attack by the Parthian army. He was vanquished and killed by
Phraates II. His body was returned to antioch in a silver casket, but his son Seleucus was kept as a hostage at the Parthian court.
These events marked the permanent loss of the eastern Seleucid empire. Antonivs Protti04/06/13 at 00:44Antonivs Protti: Thx Lloyd T, One of my favorite.

Titus as Caesar RIC II V1078Titus as Caesar. 69-79 A.D. Rome Mint. 79 A.D. to June 24. (3.38g, 19.1mm, 6h). Obv: T CAESAR IMP VESPASIANVS, laureate head r. Rev: TR POT VIII COS VII, Venus stg. r., leaning on column, with helmet and spear. RIC II V1078, BMC V255, RSC 332. Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection.
This is part of the last precious metal issue for Titus before Vespasian’s death. This type carried over into Titus’s reign following his father’s death (T15, T34).
While worn, this example is well centered and retains full legends. This is also a good example of a “big” head and “bull necked” portrait of Titus. In Rome, later issues frequently sported a “small” head on the obverse portrait- see my Titus 108 as an example.

Historical background Courtesy;
Forvm Ancient Coins,
The triple-arch probably represents the Aqua Marcia, an aqueduct begun by M. Aemilius Lepidus and M. Fulvius Nobilior as Censors in 179 B.C.
Andrew McCabe,
Northumberland Smyth 1856:
This type is of interest, since it commemorates the construction of the celebrated Aemilian bridge by Manius Aemilius Lepidus, to whom a statue was erected, and who replaced the wooden bridge of Ancus Martius over the Tiber by a stone one. The arched neck of the horse is classic
Steve E12/16/12 at 04:15Antonivs Protti: I love this reverse type. Congrats!

Syria, Seleucid Kings. Antiochos VII Euergetes (Sidetes). 138-129 BC. AR Tetradrachm. Tyre mint. Dated SE 177 (136/5 BC).Syria, Seleucid Kings. Antiochos VII Euergetes (Sidetes). 138-129 BC. AR Tetradrachm (30 mm, 14.20 g, 12 h). Tyre mint. Dated SE 177 (136/5 BC). Diademed and draped bust right / BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY, Eagle standing left on thunderbolt; palm frond in backgound; to left, A/PE above club surmounted by Tyre monogram; to right, A and monogram above HOP (date); monogram between legs. SC 2109.5a; Newell, Tyre 121; HGC 9, 1074.
Antiochos VII was called Sidetes because he was reared in the Pamphylian
seaport of side. He was the younger son of Demetrios I. his elder brother Demetrius II was captured by the Parthians. He undertook the reconquest of
Palestine, he besieged and captured Jerusalem. ( 134 BC).
Ultimately the ruling high priest John Hyrcanus accepted seleucid suzerainty,
though retaining autonomy with respect to internal affairs.
Antiochos temporarily recovered Babylonia from the Parthians, but while
wintering in Media he was caught off guard by a native revolt coordinated
with an attack by the Parthian army. He was vanquished and killed by
Phraates II. His body was returned to antioch in a silver casket, but his son Seleucus was kept as a hostage at the Parthian court.
These events marked the permanent loss of the eastern Seleucid empire. Antonivs Protti05/01/12 at 06:14Antonivs Protti: Randy, I couldn't avoid falling in love for th...

Ptolemy IV Philopater reigned 221–205 BCE, son of Ptolemy III and Berenice II of Egypt was the fourth Pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt. Under the reign of Ptolemy IV, the decline of the Ptolemaic kingdom began.
His reign was inaugurated by the murder of his mother, and he was always under the dominion of favourites, male and female, who indulged his vices and conducted the government as they pleased. Self-interest led his ministers to make serious preparations to meet the attacks of Antiochus III the Great on Coele-Syria including Judea, and the great Egyptian victory of Raphia (217), where Ptolemy himself was present, secured the northern borders of the kingdom for the remainder of his reign.
The arming of Egyptians in this campaign had a disturbing effect upon the native population of Egypt, leading to the secession of Upper Egypt under pharaohs Harmachis (also known as Hugronaphor) and Ankmachis (also known as Chaonnophris), thus creating a kingdom that occupied much of the country and lasted nearly twenty years.
Philopator was devoted to orgiastic forms of religion and literary dilettantism. He built a temple to Homer and composed a tragedy, to which his favourite Agathocles added a commentary. He married (about 220 BC) his sister Arsinoë III, but continued to be ruled by his mistress Agathoclea, sister of Agathocles. In late c. 210 BC, Agathoclea may have given birth to a son from her affair with Ptolemy IV, who may had died shortly after his birth.
Ptolemy is said to have built a giant ship known as the tessarakonteres ("forty"), a huge type of galley. The forty of its name may refer to its number of banks of oars. The only recorded instance of this type of vessel, in fact, is this showpiece galley built for Ptolemy IV, described by Callixenus of Rhodes, writing in the 3rd century BCE, and by Athenaeus in the 2nd century AD. Plutarch also mentions that Ptolemy Philopater owned this immense vessel in his Life of Demetrios. The current theory is that Ptolemy's ship was an oversize catamaran galley, measuring 128 m 420 ft.
Ptolemy IV is a major protagonist of the apocryphal 3 Maccabees, which describes purported events following the Battle of Raphia, in both Jerusalem and Alexandria.
