BHUXELLES BRUSSEL WILLIAM E. METCALF THE «CAIRO)} HOARD OF TETRARCHIC FOLLES (Planche 1) In March, 1914, the late E. T. Newell acquired a large hoard of tetrarchie folles from Hassan Abd-el-Salam, a Cairo dealer. Beyond the fact of its purchase at Cairo, nothing is known of the hoard's provenance; but this combines with the dominance of Alexandrian issues to suggest an Egyptian find spot. At an unknown date, Newell listed the contents of the hoard, describing types and legends and including references to Voetter's catalogue of the Gerin collection. About 1932 poorly preserved and duplicate specimens were removed from his trays; until recently, 400 such specimens remained in theîr original box and wrappings. Approxîmately 350 more pieces, aIl later issues of Alexandria, were discarded, sold, or lost ; they cannot now be located. It is possible to reconstruct the hoard fully from Newell's notes, though not in every case to identify pieces which came from it (1). Where his notes cau be checked against current ANS holdings, they are accurate; and despite the loss of many pieces which might have illuminated mint activity at Alexandria, the size and prove­ nance of the hoard warrant a record of its contents. (1) Only Alexandrîan pieces havelcompletely disappeared. For all other mints, current ANS holdings are sufficiently large to include the contents of the hoard as Newell recorded them, but there is still diffîculty in identüying individual specimens from the hoard. Over the years sorne coins have become separated from their tickets. and while aIl coins from his collection are 50 designated, often there is no note of their ultimate source. Under the circumstances it Is impossible to provide a complete record of weight, die axis. and module; nor can legend breaks be noted, since Newel1's manuscript does not record them. In the catalogue I employ for convenience the major variant of each legend, following RIe VI. Ruler Mini mark Reverse Officina & Quanlity RIe VI <r.... LONDON l.

The Development of Early Imperial Dress from the Tetrarchs to the Herakleian Dynasty General Introduction The emperor, as head of state, was the most important and powerful individual in the land; his official portraits and to a lesser extent those of the empress were depicted throughout the realm. His image occurred most frequently on small items issued by government officials such as coins, market weights, seals, imperial standards, medallions displayed beside new consuls, and even on the inkwells of public officials. As a sign of their loyalty, his portrait sometimes appeared on the patches sown on his supporters’ garments, embossed on their shields and armour or even embellishing their jewelry. Among more expensive forms of art, the emperor’s portrait appeared in illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and wall paintings such as murals and donor portraits. Several types of statues bore his likeness, including those worshiped as part of the imperial cult, examples erected by public 1 officials, and individual or family groupings placed in buildings, gardens and even harbours at the emperor’s personal expense.

But success has been less frequent, because the knowledge of coins is essentially a knowledge of details, and small treatises are apt to be un- readable when they contain too many references to particular coins, and unprofltably vague when such references are avoided. I cannot hope that I have passed safely between these two dangers ; indeed, my desire has been to avoid the second at all risk of encountering the former. At the same time it may be said that this book is not meant for the collector who desires only to identify the coins which he happens to possess, while caring little for the wider problems of history, art, mythology, and religion, to which coins sometimes furnish the only key.

  • Julia Valeva
    Ni{ i Vizantija VII 67 Julia Valeva EMPRESSES OF THE FOURTH AND FIFTH CENTURIES: IMPERIAL AND RELIGIOUS ICONOGRAPHIES It is considered that two of the palaces of the tetrarchs are related to ladies of august status. The first is Felix Romuliana, the residence which Galerius started to build for the years of his retirement and which he named after his mother. We know this from Aurelius Victor who wrote: “ortus Dacia Ripensi ibique sepultus est (Galerius); quem locum Romulianum ex vocabulo Romulae matris appellarat” (Epitome 40, 16)1. The spirit of Romula is perceptible in the dualistic conception of the site2: there are two residential parts, two mausolea (one for Galerius and one for Romula), and two tumuli, the latter related to the year of Romula’s death in 303 as estimated on the basis of the gold coins found underneath3. Probably the same relationship between mother and son (ruling emperor) should be seen in Sharkamen where the jewellery found during the excavations of the Mausoleum suggests a female, presumably also an imperial burial. It is assumed that Maximinus Daia in his capacity of emperor (305-311) began the construction of this palace which was intended to be his luxurious residence after his abdication. Following Galerius’ example the emperor’s mother most probably was venerated here along with her son: if we accept the identification of the commissioner of Sharkamen palace with Maximinus Daia, the empress- mother would be Galerius’ anonymous sister4. However, the strong veneration of the Mother-Empress seems not to have been characteristic of Diocletian. The only female image in the context of im- perial art which we have from his age is the one from the mausoleum frieze in Split.

  • The Roman Coin Collection at Stellenbosch, a Sequel.1
    http://akroterion.journals.ac.za THE ROMAN COIN COLLECTION AT STELLENBOSCH, 1 A SEQUEL. M Schneider (Stellenbosch University) This paper describes a new selection of ancient coins currently in the possession of the Department of Ancient Studies at the University of Stellenbosch. Discussion will focus mainly on the art and importance of coin portraiture during the Imperatorial, Imperial and Byzantine periods of Roman history, with specific reference to various relevant coin denominations from the respective eras. The original coin collection was begun in the early 1960s with a legacy of about a hundred coins from one A P Richter to the former Department of Latin at the University of Stellenbosch. Most of these coins were purchased from Spinks and Son in London. The late professor Frans Smuts, former head of the Department of Latin, expanded the collection with funds made available by the University, thus procuring a small, comprehensive hand-picked selection of Roman coins ranging in period from about 300 BC to AD 1041. More recently the late professor Bert van Stekelenburg managed the department’s numismatic collection and made a valuable contribution to our knowledge about the historical and artistic aspects of this collection. At present the collection hosts about 170 coins and spans the Republican; Imperatorial; Imperial, and Byzantine periods of Roman history.2 This collection contains true exempla of coins depicting events relating to both Roman myth and Roman history as displayed by the early Republican denarii which feature the 1 In 1978 the late Prof. Bert van Stekelenburg published an article: ‘Coins of the Roman Republic from the collection of the University of Stellenbosch.

PAUL PEETERS Recherches d'Histoire et de Philologie Orientales PREFACE The present work was conceived as a companion volume to Constantine and Eusebius, to argue in detail dates and facts which are there assumed and made the basis for historical interpretation and synthesis. It has inevitably also be- come an independent work of reference, for it sets out to establish the basic factual framework for a period in the history of the Roman Empire which is both obviously significant and notoriously obscure. Nevertheless, its scope continues to reflect its genesis. I have not attempted to solve all the problems posed by the imperial coinage or the legal sources, nor to draw up lists either of court and financial officials or of military commanders.

  • 2016-03-01 EMPEROR LIST.Htm
    Chronological List of All Roman Emperors, Empresses and other Important Personages on Ancient Coins A List to be used as a Guide to Putting Together a Collection of Ancient Roman Coins that Includes Names of People who Issued Coins, Including the Rare Ones! Feel the past as you explore the ancient world through these historical ancient Roman coins of the emperors, empresses and important personages. Below is an almost complete list of all ancient Roman historical personages that have ever struck a coin. A challenge for some, who are willing to accept it, is to collect a single coin of every single emperor. This list is available inside my eBay as the 'Collecting Guide Link'. Some of these emperors are more rare than others, so you may want to be the first to buy them before they're gone into a collection forever! Some people choose to take the route of building up a collection of every single emperor, or sometimes, every single emperor and empress, and it may take a lifetime, but the challenge is exciting. You can build up a collection without some or the rarer emperors and empresses in an affordable fashion for almost anyone. Some people value a collection of ancient Roman coins as more valuable as it takes time and effort to put it together. With the list below, you can search my ancient coins store and find the right coins out of thousands that are available! Just click on each one of the names and it will search it automatically for any examples that I may have available.
