Lot # 22 - KYRENAICA. Kyrene. Time of Magas (Ptolemaic governor, first reign, circa 300-282/75 BC). Didrachm. Obv: Head of Zeus Karneios right.Rev: KY - PA. Silphion plant; tripod to left, monogram to right.SNG Copenhagen -; BMC 252.Founded in 631 B.C. by settlers from the island of Thera, Cyrene was soon one of the richest and most important Greek cities. The period from the end of the Battiadian dynasty to the rise of Alexander the Great was the city's golden age. It earned the nickname 'Athens of Africa', hosting important philosophers such as Aristippos, the poet Callimachos and the astronomer Eratosthenes. Silphium was a plant widely used in antiquity as a medicine, condiment and for perfumes. It is mentioned by Herodotus but also by naturalists such as Theophrastus and Pliny the Elder and was considered as valuable as gold and silver. Despite its popularity, however, silphium disappeared completely back in antiquity, probably due to the overcrowding and climatic changes North Africa underwent, combined with the very small habitat in which it grew, a narrow strip of land in Cyrenaica. When the plant began to become scarce, the Greeks and Romans tried to cultivate it, without success. Its collection in the wild was strictly regulated, and a thriving black market was dedicated to its trade. Nowadays no one knows what silphium looks like; the only records of this plant are offered by literature and coins like this one. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 7.48 g. Diameter: 22 mm.Estimate: € 1250

Peacock standing facing, head left, with tail feathers spread.RIC² p. 314, note 72; RIC II (1st ed.) 218 (Domitian).Extremely rareFlavia Julia Augusta, known as Iulia Titi, was the only daughter of Emperor Titus and his second wife Marcia Furnilla. Very little is known about her, except that when she was still a child she was presented as the future successor of the Flavian dynasty, since her father, after his second divorce, had not taken another wife and the other women of the family (Domitilla Major and Domitilla Minor) had already died. When Titus came to power, Julia was given the title of Augusta, which was usually attributed to the emperor's wife. Titus proposed to his brother Domitian to marry Julia, but Domitian refused because he was in love with Domitia Longina. Julia therefore married her cousin, Titus Flavius Sabinus. Upon the death of his father (AD 81), Domitian became emperor and, after repudiating Domitia on suspicion of adultery, it seems that he began a relationship with Julia and had Sabinus killed. Julia died in abortion in 90, precluding her from providing an heir to the emperor. Condition: Near extremely fine.Weight: 3.36 g. Diameter: 20 mm.Estimate: € 2500

This type of sword forced the Romans to partially revise their equipment, especially during Trajan's campaigns in Dacia at the beginning of the 2nd century. The soldiers adopted segmented sleeves and reinforced helmet visors to defend themselves from the cutting blows inflicted by the falx. Examples of this weapon can be seen on coins and on Trajan's Column. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 3.33 g. Diameter: 19 mm.Estimate: € 200
