PDF Catalogue Created By Ancient and Medieval Coins Canada • Auction 3 • 24 July 2021 1 BRUTTIUM, Rhegion, c. 415-387 BCE, AE12 (onkia?). 2.09g, 12mm. Obv: Lion’s head facing Rev: PHΓINH; Laureate head of Apollo right, olive sprig behind. Cf. SNG ANS 702, HN Italy 2524, & HGC 1701. From the Severus Alexander collection. The olive sprig is normally found on silver and the larger (6-8g) bronze denomination from this period, but is extremely rare on the smaller bronze. The form of the ethnic also places it in this period (see HGC 1701). This is generally regarded as the height of Rhegion’s coinage, as exemplified by the magnificent style on this tiny piece. The disastrous Athenian expedition against Syracuse ended with Athens’ utter defeat in 413. Despite having supported Athens previously, Rhegion remained neutral during this conflict. Early in the fourth century BCE, the Syracusan tyrant Dionysus I made overtures to Rhegion, but they were rejected, and Dionysios eventually put the city under siege. The siege was long, brutal, and the conclusion terrible: Dionysius sold the entire population into slavery and utterly destroyed the city. (Decades later, it was rebuilt.) 75 2 KINGS of MACEDON, Philippi under Philip II, c. 356-345 BCE. 5.32g, 15-17mm. Obv: Head of Herakles left, wearing lion's skin. Rev: ΦIΛIΠΠΩN, Tripod; bow in bowcase in field left. BMC 17. Lovely reverse with a particular nice bowcase containing a bow. Issued soon after Krenides was conquered by Philip II and modestly renamed “Philippi.” It would eventually be the site of Octavian and Antony's defeat of the assassins of Julius Caesar. Estimate: 50 24 3 KINGS of MACEDON: Alexander III ‘the Great’ (336-323 BCE) AR Drachm, struck under Philoxenos, c. 325-323 BC. Miletos, 4.27g, 17mm. Obv: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin Rev: Zeus Aëtophoros seated left, legs crossed; monogram in left field. Price 2090; ADM I Series I. From the Chris B collection Lustrous. Price 2090 comprises two varieties, one with Zeus’ legs parallel, the other with his legs crossed. If Price is correct, this coin was struck near the end of Alexander’s life under Philoxenos, the general who captured the Persian capital of Susa following the great battle of Gaugemela, and who later brought reinforcements from Caria to Alexander as he was dying in Babylon. Philoxenos was likely present at Alexander’s death, and seems to have thrown his lot in with Perdikkas in the complex politics which immediately followed. 50 4 KINGS of MACEDON: Alexander III 'the Great’ (336-323 BCE) AR Drachm, Struck under Menander c. 324/3 BCE. Sardes, 4.30g, 17mm. Obv: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin Rev: Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; rose below throne. Price 2571; ADM I Series X. From the Chris B collection, ex CNG E-Auction 427 lot 91, 22.08.2018 If Price is correct, this coin was struck near the end of Alexander’s life under Menander, the general he had assigned to govern Lydia. Menander had just brought reinforcements to Alexander in Babylon and was likely present at the momentous occasion of the great man’s death. In the aftermath, he allied with Antigonos I Monopthalmos. 50 All prices are starting prices (CAD). PDF catalogue created by www.biddr.com. Ancient and Medieval Coins Canada • Auction 3 • 24 July 2021 5 KINGS of MACEDON: Philip V (221-179 BCE), AE16, issued 220-217. Pella or Amphipolis. 4.00g, 16mm. Obv: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin Rev: B-A / Φ-I; Horseman riding right. Mamroth, Bronzemünzen 2; Touratsoglou, Macedonia 1; HGC 3, 1073. A rare type, dateable to the first few years of Philip's reign while he was still a teenager. In this period he defeated the tribes in the north and led the Hellenic league in victories against Sparta and and the Aetolian League in the Social War, re-establishing Macedon as the pre-eminent military power in Greece. Estimate: 60 24 6 AR Tetradrachm, in the name and types of Alexander III of Macedon, early 2nd century BCE. Uncertain Pamphylian mint, 16.19g, 27.5-31mm. Obv: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin Rev: Zeus Aëtophoros seated left, legs crossed From the arnoldoe collection.

BCE) AR drachm. 2.85g, 13.5mm. Obv: Gorgoneion facing. Rev: upright anchor; crayfish to l., A to r. Sear Greek 1655.

  • La Tataroj De Krimeo
    La tataroj de Krimeo kaj ties komplika historia de la lukto por ekzistado kaj propraj rajtoj kiun la homaro pli malpli ignoras Historiaj, etnodemografiaj, onomastikaj, politikaj, kulturaj kaj juraj aspektoj Originale verkita en Esperanto de Andreas Künzli (Svislando) Krimeo en antikvaj tempoj La nomo Krimeo (tatarlingve Qırım, ruslingve Крым, ukrainlingve Крим) eble devenas de la mongol- tatara lingvo (qrım) kaj signifas „fortikaĵo“,1 aŭ ĝi havas aŭtentikan krime-tataran originon kun la signifo „roko“. Povas ankaŭ esti, ke tiu nomo estas ligita kun la legendeca antikva popolo de la cimeroj,2 kiu vivis sur la Krimea duoninsulo en la 12a jc. a.Kr. Kun la cimeroj la mitologiaj taŭridanoj3 estas konsiderataj kiel prapopoloj de Krimeo, kiu iam estis nomata Taŭrido. La klimataj kaj geostrategiaj kondiĉoj de la duoninsulo helpis al Taŭrido aŭ Krimeo fariĝi alloga kaj dezirinda loĝejo por multaj popoloj. Krom la cimeroj kaj taŭridanoj sur Krimeo aperis grekoj (8a jc. a.Kr.), ´bosporanoj´4 kaj ´sarmatoj´5 (5a jc. a.Kr.), ´skitoj´ (3a jc. a.Kr.), romianoj (1a jc. a.Kr.), alanoj (1a jc. p.Kr. ),6 gotoj (3a jc.),7 hunoj kaj bizancanoj (4a jc.), bulgaroj (bolgaroj) kaj ĥazaroj (7a jc.),8 peĉenegoj kaj kipĉakoj (10a jc.),9 armenoj (12 jc.), italoj (t.e. precipe ĝenovanoj kaj venecianoj, 13a jc.), adigeoj-ĉerkesoj kaj, finfine, tataroj (14a jc.).10 Krimeo en la helena tempo (5jc a.K.) kaj en la tempo de Kieva Rusio (9-10aj jc.)

  • BYZANTINE ROYAL ANCESTRY Emperors, 578-1453
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY BYZANTINE ROYAL ANCESTRY Emperors, 578-1453 1 INTRODUCTION During the first half of the first century Byzantium and specifically Constantinople was the most influentional and riches capital in the world. Great buildings, such as Hagia Sophia were built during these times. Despite the distances, contacts with the Scandinavians took place, in some cases cooperation against common enemies. Vikings traded with them and served in the Emperors’ Court. Sweden’s King Karl XII took refuge there for four years after the defeat in the war against Peter the Great of Russia in Poltava. Our 6th great grandfather, “ Cornelius von Loos” was with him and made drawings of many of the famous buildings in that region. The Byzantine lineages to us are shown starting fr o m different ancestors. There are many royals to whom we have a direct ancestral relationship and others who are distant cousins. These give an interesting picture of the history from those times. Wars took place among others with the Persians, which are also described in the book about our Persian Royal Ancestry. Additional text for many persons is highlighted in the following lists. This story begins with Emperor Tiberius II, (47th great grandfather) born in 520 and ends with the death of Emperor Constantine XI (15th cousin, 17 times removed) in battle in 1453. His death marked the final end of the Roman Empire, which had continued in the East for just under one thousand years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. No relations to us, the initial Emperor of the Byzantine was Justin I , born a peasant and a swineherd by initial occupation, reigned 518 to 527.

  • Trabzon Imparatorluğu'nun Toplumsal Kökenleri
    Tarih İncelemeleri Dergisi XXXV / 1, 2020, 187-212 DOI: 10.18513/egetid.769967 İKTİDARIN MEŞRUİYETİ: TRABZON İMPARATORLUĞU’NUN TOPLUMSAL KÖKENLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME Murat KEÇİŞ* Öz IV. Haçlı Seferiyle başkent Konstantinopolis Latinler tarafından işgal edilmiş ve yağmalanmıştır. Bu olayı müteakiben Bizans İmparatorluğu, başkentten kaçan soylu ailelerinin kurduğu yeni siyasi yapılarla varlığını devam ettirmeye çalışmıştır. İşgalden sonra kurulan devletlerden biri ise 1461 yılına kadar Trabzon kenti başta olmak üzere Doğu Karadeniz Bölgesinde varlığını devam ettirmeye çalışan Büyük Komnenos Hanedanlığı olmuştur. Komnenos Hanedanından Aleksios ve David’in baba tarafından akrabaları Gürcü Kraliçesi Thamara’nın yardımıyla kurdukları bu devlet, Batı tarih yazıcılığında Trabzon İmparatorluğu (1204-1461) olarak isimlendirilir. Yönetici hanedan ailesinin Konstantinopolis’ten geldiği ve bölgede Gürcü Krallığı’nın desteğini sağladıkları bilinmektedir. Aleksios ve David Komnenos’un Konstantinopolis’ten hangi şartlarda ve kimlerle kaçtıkları ve Trabzon’a nasıl geldiklerine dair elimizde herhangi bir kayıt yoktur. Büyük Komnenos Hanedanlığının bölgede 257 yıl boyunca nasıl tutunduğu konusu bugüne kadar yapılan araştırmalarda çok detaylı bir şekilde ele alınmamıştır. XI. yüzyıldan itibaren Gavras ailesi eliyle yönetilen Bizans’ın Haldiya Theması’nın merkez ile idarî, ideolojik ve kültürel bağlarının oldukça zayıf olmasına rağmen, Komnenoslar sadece akrabaları Gürcü Krallığı’nın desteğini alarak mı bölgede varlıklarını iki buçuk asırdan daha fazla devam ettirebildiler? Gürcü Krallığının, Komnenos ailesine destek verdiği açıktır. Bunun yanı sıra yerli soylularının da Trabzon İmparatorluğu’nun varlığına destek vermiş olması gerekir. Makalemizde, yukarıda bahsettiğimiz kaynaklar üzerinden cevap arayacağımız temel sorular şunlardır: Trabzon İmparatorları, IV. Haçlı Seferi’nin yaşandığı hengâmede Bizans başkenti Konstantinopolis’ten “kaçarak” Karadeniz Bölgesi’ne gelmelerine ve bu bölgenin Bizans merkezi ile siyasi, ekonomik ve kültürel bağları XI.

In 1185, after the revolt of the 12th September against Andronikos I,1 Alexios and David escaped to Iberia, in the court of their aunt and queen of Georgia, Thamar.2 There is no information about the life and activity of the two brothers during the years they spent in Iberia. They reemerge in 1204: in late March or early April 1204, in charge of the Iberian forces granted by Queen Thamar,3 they recaptured the city of Trebizond without meeting resistance.4 Alexios was proclaimed emperor, while David was appointed strategos and undertook to expand the newly founded state, with Trebizond as its capital, to the west.

  • Theodore Ii Lascaris As Co-Emperor: Reality and Misapprehensions in Byzantine Historiography*
    Зборник радова Византолошког института L, 2013 Recueil des travaux de l’Institut d’études byzantines L, 2013 UDC: 94(495.02):321.17:929"12" DOI: 10.2298/ZRVI1350587P BOJANA PAVLOVIĆ (Institute for Byzantine Studies of the SASA, Belgrade) THEODORE II LASCARIS AS CO-EMPEROR: REALITY AND MISAPPREHENSIONS IN BYZANTINE HISTORIOGRAPHY* This article consists of two main parts. The fi rst part quotes, once again, relevant sources for Theodore II Lascaris’ status as co-emperor and discusses some of Theodore II’s activities as co-ruler. The second part deals with the testimonies of three Byzantine historians: George Acropolites, George Pachymeres and Nikephoros Gregoras, who provide us with different information concerning Theodore II Lascaris as co-emperor. While Acropolites refers to Theodore II as basileu,j even before he actually came to the throne, Pachymeres and Gregoras claim that Theodore II was never his father’s co- ruler. Thus, it is the aim of this study to offer an explanation for the differences in the testimonies of the mentioned historians. Keywords: Theodore II Lascaris, George Acropolites, George Pachymeres, Nikephoros Gregoras, co-emperor The title of this paper points to the fact that an event, which in reality happened, can be omitted from a historian’s work, in most cases, deliberately, which subsequently results in confusion in the works of his successors. A misapprehension created by the fi rst author, whose aim was to, out of his own bias, move silently over certain facts, makes other historians his “partners in crime,” who, on their own accord, reshape this lack of information and use it in the way that best suits their own stories.
