Augustus and Aretas IV, 1 BC / 1 ADObv. bare head of Augustus left , AVGVS TR • POT.
Rev. laureate head of Aretas VI left , Nabataean date ( Shnt ///~) year 8 .
21mm, 6.9 grams
This coin shows in one side Augustus and the other side a Nabataean king with Nabatean script in front of his head ( Shnt ///~) dated to the eighth year of the reign of King Aretas IV, about 1 BC-1 AD , which is four years after the death of the Herodian King Herod the Great in 4 BC. Augustus relied on his friend Herod for the affairs of the East, and after the death of Herod , his kingdom was divided among his three sons, which led to the weakness of the strongest ally of Emperor Augustus.
This coin was wrongly described by RPC I 5419; SNG Hunterian 4983 as unknown mint from Syria or Zenodorus at Chalcis for unknown king.

Ex CNG eAuction 484, 27 January 2021, lot 559.
The great lighthouse of Alexandria (or Pharos) was first depicted on the city's coinage during Domitian's reign. The structure was built on Pharos Island circa 300-283 BC under the Ptolemaic dynasty and was roughly 375 years old when these coins were struck. It was one of the most famous buildings in the ancient world and would later be considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World by early Medieval chroniclers. Standing at an estimated 300-450 ft. high it inspired awe and admiration from many Roman era writers including Strabo, Pliny, Josephus, and Lucian. Strabo records the Pharos was built of white stone and Pliny relates it cost nearly 800 talents to construct and that its light could sometimes be mistaken for a distant star on the horizon by mariners approaching the city. Josephus says the tower's shining light could be seen 34 miles away, a day's sale from Alexandria. Lucian took detailed measurements and described a building of three storeys - the bottom being square, the middle octagonal and the top circular with a total height of 436 feet (!). It was crowned by a 30 ft. statue of Zeus Soter or Neptune which can clearly be seen on the coins. Sculptures of Tritons blowing conch shells adorned the octagonal section were used to represent each of the eight winds and can clearly be seen on the coins as well. In 1117 AD Al-Andalusi travelled to Alexandria and wrote 'the entrance to the Lighthouse is very high. It is accessed by a long 600 ft. ramp. This is based on a series of arches [...]'. This high doorway is also accurately depicted on the coins. Early in the second century Achilles Tatius of Alexandria poetically described the Pharos in his novel The Adventures of Leucippe and Clitophon as 'the most remarkable and extraordinary structure upon which it rested; it was like a mountain, almost reaching the clouds, in the middle of the sea. Below the building flowed the waters; it seemed to be as it were suspended above their surface, while at the top of this mountain rose a second sun to be a guide for ships'. The great Pharos was rendered inoperable and slowly destroyed by a series of earthquakes between 796 and 1323 AD. The coins, however, remain as a powerful testament to this most remarkable structure's enduring legacy.
The hemidrachms struck under Domitian with their wonderful numismatic depiction of the Pharos are extremely rare. This superb example from regnal year 12 is the third known and finest specimen of the even rarer left facing portrait variant. Struck in very fine style.David AthertonFeb 04, 2021

Sear 0387Justin I (518 – 527 CE) Nummus, weight 0.55g, diameter 8.5mm. Mint of Antioch.
When DOC volume I was published back in 1966, it assigned this tiny minimus to the reign of Justin II (DOC I, Justin II 149). The notes quoted Grierson’s remark that “the cruciform monogram shows that it is not that of Justin I, since this form only came into use in the middle of Justinian’s reign.”
But subsequent hoard evidence has overturned that judgement. For example, in 1998 a hoard of Levantine origin was published by Marcus Phillips and Susan Tyler-Smith in the Numismatic Chronicle [NC Vol. 158 (1998), pp 316-324]. This hoard contained over 160 6th-century nummi and five-nummi pieces (mixed in with earlier worn Roman minima and AE 3s and 4s), including 15 examples of SBCV 387. None of the other hoard material could be dated later than Justin I. The authors concluded that, “It follows that the nummus with the cruciform monogram of ‘Justin' in Greek (MIB II 66 and DOC 149), which has been attributed to Justin II, should be attributed to Justin I”. In the revised second edition (2013) of MIBE, Hahn and Metlich duly changed the attribution to Justin I and that has been the accepted view since. [SBCV 387 = MIBE NN67]
