Lot # 182 - Q. POMPONIUS MUSA. Denarius (56 BC). Rome. Obv: Laureate head of Apollo right; lyre key to left.Rev: MVSA / Q POMPONI. Calliope standing right, playing lyre set on column.Crawford 410/2b; RBW -.Calliope is one of the nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (goddess of memory). She was the muse of epic poetry, considered Homer's favorite and believed to be the inspiration for the Iliad and the Odyssey. Calliope was also known for being the mother of Orpheus and Linus, two highly talented musicians. The father of her children could have been the god Apollo or Oeagrus, king of Thrace, depending on the different versions of the myth. According to one tradition, she was loved by Zeus, with whom she generated the Corybantes, figures associated with ritual dance. Calliope is considered the oldest and wisest of the Muses, also famous for her confidence and authority. She played a significant role in the dispute between Aphrodite and Persephone over Adonis: acting as an impartial judge, she decreed that each of the two goddesses should spend the same amount of time with the young man. She is usually depicted with a stylus and wax tablets, with scrolls of parchment or a book, or playing the lyre, as in the case of this denarius. Condition: Near very fine.Weight: 3.61 g.

Clio the Muse of History
Obverse image
Lot # 183 - Q. POMPONIUS MUSA. Denarius (56 BC). Rome. Obv: Laureate head of Apollo right; tied volumen to left.Rev: Q POMPONI / MVSA. Clio standing left, holding scroll and leaning on column.Crawford 410/3; RBW 1485.Clio is the first of the nine Muses, daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne (goddess of memory). From her mother, she inherited the gift of preserving and transmitting the memory of events and personalities, which makes her the Muse of History and “who can make famous.” She is a wise, calm, and thoughtful figure with a sensitive heart. When the narrative is particularly moving, Clio can be moved to tears, and her tears, as rare as pearls, are a source of pride for poets, who see them as confirmation of the value of their work. Writers who wish to evoke distant times, reawaken buried memories, and give voice to forgotten heroes turn to her. Thanks to her, history becomes storytelling, and the past becomes living memory. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 4.44 g. Diameter: 18 mm.

Lot # 184 - Q. POMPONIUS MUSA. Denarius (56 BC). Rome. Obv: Laureate head of Apollo right; sceptre to left.Rev: Q POMPONI MVSA. Melpomene standing left, wearing sword and holding club and mask.Crawford 410/4; RBW 1486.Melpomene is one of the nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (goddess of memory). She was initially the muse of song and musical harmony, but later became the muse of tragedy, perhaps because of her connection to Dionysus. Melpomene is usually depicted with a severe, imposing appearance, wearing cothurni, the typical sandals worn by tragic actors. She holds a tragic mask in her hands and, sometimes, a scepter, a bloody dagger, or a club, symbols of drama and theatrical pathos. According to some traditions, the union between Melpomene and the river god Achelous gave birth to the Sirens, creatures with enchanting songs, with the head of a woman and the body of a bird.

She was the muse of music and protector of wind instruments. She is often depicted with the aulos, an ancient double-reed wind instrument which, according to myth, was invented by her. Her name means “she who please” or “she who delights.” Euterpe inspires melodies and is the very essence of the joy that music can bring to the human soul. The aulos accompanied the most diverse moments of Greek life, during sporting events, sacred rites, and, of course, theatrical shows. Over time, Euterpe was also attributed with the protection of lyric poetry. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 3.63 g. Diameter: 19 mm.

Urania standing left, holding wand and touching globe set upon base.Crawford 410/8; RBW 1488.Urania is one of the nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (goddess of memory). She was the muse of astronomy and geometry, as well as astronomy combined with astrology, disciplines that were inseparable for the Greeks. Urania lifts man's gaze from earthly things to eternal ones, granting him harmony and meditation. Another tradition, of Eastern origin and linked to Herodotus, identifies her as the daughter of Heaven and Light and assimilates her to Aphrodite Urania (Venus Caelestis), daughter of Uranus.

Her name means “she who flourishes” or “the flourishing one” and she is the Muse of comedy and idyllic poetry, which appeal to the simplest, most ironic and lively side of humanity. She is often depicted with a comic mask in her hand, symbolizing comic theater, and with an ivy crown, referring to the world of nature and wine. Sometimes she holds a shepherd's crook, representing bucolic poetry. Unlike other more solemn or dramatic Muses, Thalia calls for lightness and smiles. In classical times, those seeking inspiration to write satires or comedies invoked Thalia. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 3.85 g. Diameter: 18 mm.

She is depicted as a young woman with a thoughtful gaze, often wrapped in a veil and a long cloak, with her head adorned with a crown of pearls, a symbol of purity and wisdom. Polyhymnia is traditionally considered the muse of the art of composing and performing complex stage actions that blend music, poetry, and dance. She is also the patroness of pantomime and dances associated with sacred and heroic songs, which celebrated the deeds of the gods and heroes of myth. According to tradition, she is even credited with some important human inventions, such as the lyre, a musical instrument dear to Apollo, and agriculture, an activity fundamental to the development of civilization.

On the obverse, the coin depicts the head of the fourth king of Rome, Ancus Marcius, identified by the legend, from whom the Marcia gens claimed to descend and who, according to a legend (reported by Pliny the Elder), was the first to provide an aqueduct to the city. The reverse depicts an equestrian statue (Marcius Rex) placed on an arched structure, clearly identified as an aqueduct by the legend. The aqueduct depicted here was built in 144 BC by Marcius Rex (to whom the statue refers), and supplied water to many areas of Rome. It was over 90 km long and mostly underground. As was common in the Republican period, the designs on both sides are purely propagandistic, aimed at celebrating the gens to which the monetary magistrate belonged, with references to mythical and historical ancestors, legitimizing his personal ambitions.

Lot # 218 - Q. CAECILIUS METELLUS PIUS SCIPIO and P. LICINIUS CRASSUS JUNIANUS. Denarius (47-46 BC). Utica. Obv: METEL PIVS / SCIP IMP. Bust of Jupiter right, hair tied with band; below, eagle's head left and sceptre.Rev: CRASS IVN / LEG PRO PR. Cornucopia, supporting scales, set on curule chair; grain ear and head of Cetus flanking chair.Crawford 460/2; CRI 41; RBW 1602.Very rareA great example of a very rare denarius, struck by Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius Scipio (Nasica), supreme commander of Pompey's forces, together with his lieutenant Licinius Crassus Iunianus Damasippus. Metellus Scipio was consul with Pompey in 52 and governor of Syria in 49. He took part in the Battle of Pharsalus in 48, commanding the centre of Pompey's army. After the defeat, he fled to Africa and allied himself with Juba I, king of Numidia. This denarius was struck in Utica and recalls the wealth and fertility of Africa, symbolized by the images on the reverse (cornucopia, scales, ear of corn). The portrait of Jupiter, associated with the eagle and the sceptre, recalls the bust of Jupiter Terminus depicted on a denarius of Pompey minted in Greece (Crawford 447/1), and was evidently adopted as a symbol of Pompeian propaganda. The head of Cetus, combined with the curule chair as a symbol of power, could be opposed to the depiction of the dragon crushed by the elephant on Julius Caesar's famous denarius (Crawford 443/1). Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 3.41 g. Diameter: 19 mm.
