CNG E-168, lot 108 (Septimius; for rev. type).UniqueThis coin provides the most precious and detailed depiction of the Temple of Priapus in Lampsacus, of which very few archaeological remains survive. Lampsacus was the main center of this cult, and from there it spread and flourished, particularly during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. According to the most common tradition, Priapus was the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite. It is said that he was born a horrible child, as a result of his mother’s beauty and lust, which Hera wished to punish in an exemplary manner. Where he was worshipped, in the Hellespont, the animal offered to him was the donkey, which the Greeks regarded as a symbol of lust. Priapus was worshipped as the god of fertility, protector of gardens, vineyards, and male virility. The first fruits of the fields and gardens were also offered to him, along with libations of milk and honey. He was often depicted as a bearded man with a oversized phallus, a symbol of fertility, and holding a sickle to indicate his role as guardian of the gardens. Condition: Good fine.Weight: 11.08 g.

Apis - the Sacred Bull

Lot # 230 - EGYPT. Alexandria. Uncertain Emperor (1st century AD). Ae Dichalkon. Dated RY 2 of an uncertain reign. Obv: Ibis standing left; to left, palm branch.Rev: L B (date). Apis bull standing right wearing solar disk.RPC I 5112; Dattari (Savio) 112; Emmett 4257.2.Apis bull is one of the most recognizable deities of ancient Egypt. Its ancient cult reached its peak between the New Kingdom and the Ptolemaic period, when it became a focal point where religion, politics, and royal ideology converged. In Memphis, the sacred city and ancient capital, Apis was venerated as the living manifestation of the god Ptah, and upon his death he united with Osiris to become OsirApis, a symbol of rebirth and continuity. The sacred bull was chosen based on very specific distinguishing marks (a black coat, white spots in symbolic shapes, and a scarab under its tongue) and once recognized, it lived like a king: public appearances, oracles, rituals, and a stable considered a sanctuary. Upon its death, its body was mummified and laid to rest in the Serapeum at Saqqara. The cult endured for thousands of years, surviving even the arrival of the Greeks and Romans, who reinterpreted it through the syncretic figure of Serapis. It is therefore not surprising that Apis also appears on ancient coins: the bull, often depicted with a sun disk between its horns, became a powerful symbol of Egyptian identity and the legitimization of power. On Ptolemaic coins, his image served to show respect for local traditions, while in the Roman era, especially on Alexandrian issues such as this one, Apis was used as a symbol of cultural continuity. Emperors like Hadrian, who visited Egypt in 130 AD, included him on their coin reverses to emphasize a direct connection with the country’s religion and history.

The apples had been Gaia's gift for the wedding of Zeus and Hera, and were guarded by the Hesperides, daughters of Night, and the hundred-headed serpent Ladon, constantly coiled around the trunk of the tree, at Hera's behest. Herakles killed him by shooting an arrow over the garden wall, built by Atlas. Hera could only ease the pain of Ladon's death by placing his image among the stars, as the constellation of the Serpent. The day after, the Argonauts also came to the garden and witnessed the transformation of the Hesperides into trees, desperate for the loss of their treasure and their guardian.
