#10278: GREEK SILVER Drachm Gaul, Massalia, 200-150 BC First City in France Historical Context: Massalia, modern day Marseilles, France, was one of the first Greek ports in Western Europe. It was the first settlement given city status in France. Facing an opposing alliance of the Etruscans, Carthage and the Celts, the Greek colony allied itself with the expanding Roman Republic for protection. This protectionist association brought aid in the event of future attacks, and perhaps equally important, it also brought the people of Massalia into the complex Roman market. The city thrived by acting as a link between inland Gaul, hungry for Roman goods and wine (which Massalia was steadily exporting by 500 BC), and Rome's insatiable need for new products and slaves. Under this arrangement the city maintained its independence until the rise of Julius Caesar, when it joined the losing side (Pompey and the optimates) in civil war, and lost its independence in 49 BC.

SILVER Didrachm - SICILY.AKRAGAS, before 413 BC, Eagle / Crab Historical Context: Akragas was founded on a plateau overlooking the sea, with two nearby rivers and a ridge to the north offering a degree of natural fortification. Its establishment took place around 582-580 BC and is attributed to Greek colonists from Gela, who named it Akragas. Akragas grew rapidly, becoming one of the richest and most famous of the Greek colonies of Magna Graecia. It came to prominence under the sixth-century tyrants and became a democracy after the overthrow of Theron's son Thrasydaeus. Although the city remained neutral in the conflict between Athens and Syracuse, its democracy was overthrown when the city was sacked by the Carthaginians in 406 BC. Akragas never fully recovered its former status. The city was sacked by both the Romans and the Carthaginians in the third century. The Romans eventually captured Akragas in 210 and renamed it Agrigentum. It became prosperous again under Roman rule and its inhabitants received full Roman citizenship following the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC. Obv: Eagle SOLD $379 plus shipping

The Seleukid Dynasty Successors to Alexander the Great The Seleukid Dyansty lasted from about 312 to 64 BC. It was founded by Seleukos I, a close companion of Alexander the Great. Seleukos rose to power during the period of instability following Alexander's death. The territories conquered by Alexander were split amongst his key Generals, Seleukos, Ptolemy (Egypt), and Antiganous Gonatas (Macedonia). The territorial extent of the Seleukid Dynasty varies greatly from period to period. However, at it's peak, it comprised the whole of Alexander the Great's conquest, except Egypt.

#11298: GREEK SILVER Tetradrachm SELEUKID DYNASTY, Reign of Antiochus I 280 to 261 BC Historical Context: Antiochos I was the son of Seleukos I and Apama, Seleukos' Persian wife. His date of birth is unknown, but was probably circa 320 BC as he was old enough to lead the Seleukid cavalry at the battle of Ipsos in 301. When Seleukos was assassinated in 281, Antiochos was probably in Ekbatana, where he had maintained court ruling the eastern satrapies on behalf of his father since 294. With his accession, Antiochos faced immediate attacks by Ptolemy II in Asia Minor and revolts of the cities of Syria. He left his eldest son, Seleukos, as governor of the eastern satrapies and marched west to meet the threats, which he soon overcame. However, it was not long before his attention was once again drawn to disturbances, this time from a menacing force of warlike Celtic tribes that had crossed over the Hellespont in the winter of 278/7 and invaded Asia Minor, and also shortly thereafter, renewed hostilities with Ptolemy II (First Syrian War, 274-271 BC). After defeating the Celts and receiving the title of Saviour (Soter) by the Greek cities of Asia Minor, Antiochos concluded an uneasy truce with Ptolemy which allowed him to focus on public relations and administrative work in Asia Minor. His subsequent reign was relatively peaceful, with the exceptions of sedition by his son and co-regent, Seleukos, whom he was forced to execute and replace with his younger son, the future Antiochos II, and the loss of northwest Asia Minor to Eumenes I of Pergamon. The figure of Apollo seated on the omphalos gained prominence under Antiochos, publicizing his supposed descent from the god, and became the characteristic reverse type for most Seleukid precious metal coinage down through the reign of Antiochos IV.

#8765: Bronze – 350 BC, Commemorates an OLYMPIC GAMES VICTORY !! Pretty !! Historical Context: This coin was minted by the MACEDONIAN EMPIRE (494 - 168 BC) during the reign of Philip II, the father of ALEXANDER THE GREAT. The Macedonian empire was founded by Alexander I but carried forward by others including Philip II. Philip II developed the army and tactics that enabled Alexander the Great to accomplish his victories. When Philip II was young he won two Olympic equestrian victories.

Mamertini of Sicily (Messana) - Circa 3rd Century BC
Historical Context: This coin was minted in Massana around 232-210 BC. The Mamertines (Mamertini "sons of Mars") were mercenaries of Italian origin who had been hired from their home in Campania by Agathocles, the king of Syracuse. After Syracuse lost the Third Sicilian War, the city of Messene was ceded to Carthage in 307 BC. When Agathocles died in 289 BC he left many of his mercenaries idle and unemployed in Sicily. Most of them returned home but some liking the climate and the prospect of adventure on a foreign island remained. They played a major role in the lead up to the First Punic War. The then small band of desperados came across the walled Greek settlement of Messana (now Messina). Messana was a strategic point, built on the north-eastern tip of Sicily and it with the fort Rhegium on the toe of Italy, were the crossing points of the straits between Italy and Sicily. Being a peaceful people, the inhabitants allowed the travelling mercenaries into their homes. After a time, the mercenaries became restless and plotted to capture the town. One night, the mercenaries betrayed their hosts and killed most of the population who were unprepared. In this way, they claimed Messana for themselves. The surviving Messanians were thrown out and the property and women divided. After their victory, the mercenaries named themselves the Mamertines after the Oscan war-god Mamers.

AE17 - Bronze Coin Lysimachos - Circa 323 to 281 BC Historical Context: These coins were minted by Lysimachus, one of Alexander's successor Generals. Lysimachus was a Greek nobleman who was a Macedonian Thessalian. He was born in 362/361 BC, as the second son of Agathocles and his wife, perhaps named Arsinoe and his paternal grandfather may have been called Alcimachus. His father was a nobleman of high rank who was an intimate friend of Philip II of Macedon, who shared in Philip II’s councils and became a favorite in the Argead court. Lysimachus with his brothers grew up with the status of Macedonians; he with his brothers enjoyed prominent positions in Alexander’s circle and Lysimachus with his brothers were educated at the court at Pella. He was probably appointed Somatophylax during the reign of Philip II. During Alexander's Persian campaigns, he was one of his immediate bodyguards. In 324 BC, in Susa, he was crowned in recognition for his actions in India. After Alexander’s death in 323 BC, he was appointed to the government of Thrace as strategos.

He was the namesake of his paternal uncle, Cassander. In his youth, Cassander was taught by the philosopher Aristotle at the Lyceum in Macedonia. He was educated alongside the Crown Prince in a group that included Hephaestion, Ptolemy and Leonnatus. Cassander is first recorded as arriving at Alexander the Great’s court in Babylon in 323 BC, where he had been sent by his father, Antipater, most likely to help uphold Antipater’s regency in Macedon, although a later contemporary who was hostile to the Antipatrids suggested that Cassander had journeyed to the court to poison the King Whatever the truth of this suggestion, Cassander stood out amongst the diadochi in his hostility to Alexander's memory.
