Apollonia Pontika, Thrace, c. 540 - 470 B.C.

|Apollonia| |Pontica|, |Apollonia| |Pontika,| |Thrace,| |c.| |540| |-| |470| |B.C.||hemiobol|
Apollonia Pontica was founded as Antheia by Greek colonists from Miletus in the 7th century B.C. They soon changed its name to Apollonia after building a temple for Apollo. The temple contained a colossal statue of Apollo by Calamis, which was later taken to Rome and placed in the Capitol. The anchor on the coinage is evidence of the importance of its maritime trade.
MA114219. Silver hemiobol, SNG Bulgaria II 95; Topalov Apollonia p. 570, 17; SNG Stancomb 32; HGC 3.2 1326 (R1), VF, bumps, scratches, tight flan, weight 0.458 g, maximum diameter 7.0 mm, Apollonia Pontica (Sozopol, Bulgaria) mint, c. 540 - 470 B.C.; obverse anchor flukes up, large flukes, perpendicular crossbar, four pellets below; reverse swastika pattern, bends to right (clockwise), ends forked, two lines parallel to ends in each quarter; rare; $105.00 (€98.70)

|Other| |Mysia|, |Hadrian,| |11| |August| |117| |-| |10| |July| |138| |A.D.,| |Miletopolis,| |Mysia||AE| |20|
Miletopolis was in northern Mysia, at the confluence of the Macestus and the Rhyndacus, west of Lake Miletopolitis Limne. There seems to have been a tribe there, called Milatæ, for whom Miletopolis was the chief town. Nothing is known of the history of Miletopolis except that its inhabitants colonized the city of Gargara.

Amisos, Pontos, 85 - 65 B.C.

|Pontos|, |Amisos,| |Pontos,| |85| |-| |65| |B.C.||AE| |20|
Amisos was settled c. 760 - 750 B.C. by people from Miletus, who established a flourishing trade relationship with the ancient peoples of Anatolia. Amisos came under the rule of the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great's Macedonian Empire, and then the Kingdom of Pontus. The Romans took control in 47 B.C. and Amisos remained within the Byzantine Empire after the fall of Rome. In 1200, the city was captured by the Seljuks, to be later taken over by the Ilhanlilar. Amisos today is Samsun, a city of about half a million people on the north coast of Turkey.
GB113929. Bronze AE 20, cf. SNG BM 1231; BMC Pontus p. 15, 26; SNG Stancomb 707; SNG Cop 135; HGC 7 245; SNGvA 56 (no star), VF/aVF, rev. double struck, porosity, weight 7.568 g, maximum diameter 20.4 mm, die axis 0o, Amisos (Samsun, Turkey) mint, under Mithradates VI of Pontos, 85 - 65 B.C.; obverse laureate head of Zeus right; reverse eagle standing left on fulmen (thunderbolt), head turned back right, wings opened slightly, obscure monogram left, star right, AMIΣOY below; $57.00 (€53.58) ON RESERVE


Halikarnassos, Caria, c. 510 - 480 B.C.

|Members| |Auction| |Listed|, |Halikarnassos,| |Caria,| |c.| |510| |-| |480| |B.C.||Samian| |tetrobol|
In Greek Mythology, Ketos was a hideous sea-monster, daughter of Gaia and Pontos. In time it became the name of any sea-monster. Our word cetacean is derived from this name.

This type and companion fractions were long attributed to Kindya. The discovery of a coin bearing the reverse legend 'AΛIKAP' allowed for a certain reattribution of the series to Halikarnassos.

(Ketos left), VF, rough, ragged edge, weight 1.280 g, maximum diameter 10.8 mm, Halikarnassos (Bodrum, Turkey) mint, c. 510 - 480 B.C.; obverse head of ketos right; reverse stellate pattern in latticed frame set diagonally within incuse square; $55.00 (€51.70)

|Members| |Auction| |Listed|, |Roman| |Republic,| |c.| |206| |-| |194| |B.C.||Sextans|
Sextans, a Roman coin, which is marked sometimes on the obverse, sometimes on the reverse, or on both sides with two globules, denoting it to be the sixth part of the as, or two ounces (uncia) because the as was divided into twelve.

BMC Phrygia and older references assign this type to Augustus. RPC I assigns it to Tiberius but notes the difficulty in determining if it is a coin of Augustus or Tiberius. It certainly looks like Augustus, but many portraits of Tiberius intentionally exaggerate his resemblance to Augustus.
