| Lot description: Valens, 364-378. Solidus (Gold, 21 mm, 4.46 g, 6 h), Constantinopolis, January 368. D N VALENS P F AVG Pearl-diademed bust of Valens to left, wearing consular robes, holding mappa in his right hand and scepter in his left. Rev. VOTA PV-BLICA / ✱CONS(wreath) Valentinian I and Valens seated facing on double-throne, each nimbate, diademed and in consular robes, holding mappa in their right hands and scepter in their left; at feet to left and right, bound captives kneeling kneeling left and right. Depeyrot 22/2. RIC 29b. Very rare. An attractive example of this important consular issue. Minor edge mark, otherwise, good extremely fine. From a Bavarian collection of late Roman gold coins, formed in the early 2000s. The consulate, once the highest yearly executive office of the Roman Republic, lost most of its political powers and duties under Augustus, but remained a source of prestige well into late antiquity. Here we see Valens in consular robes on the obverse, holding a short scepter and a mappa, a piece of cloth used to signal the start of chariot races. The reverse, on the other hand, shows Valens with his brother Valentinian I, with whom he shared the consulship of the year 368, while the two captives at their feet are clearly a reference to their campaigns against the Goths on the Danube and the Alamanns on the Rhine.

| Lot description: PHRYGIA. Temenothyrae. Pseudo-autonomous issue. Medallion (Orichalcum, 44 mm, 40.77 g, 6 h), Gaius Arruntius Nikomachos Τiberinianus, archiereus and first archon for the second time. Time of Philip I, 244-249. IЄΡΑ CΥΝΚΛΗΤΟC Bare-headed and draped bust of the Senate to left. Rev. ΑΡΟΥΝ ΝЄΙΚΟΜΑΧΟϹ ΑΡΧΙЄΡƐΥϹ ΑΡΧ Α ΤΟ Β ΤΗΜЄΝΟΘΥΡЄΥϹΙ Herakles advancing left, holding torch (?) in his right hand and club in his left, lion skin draped over his left arm and Eros tying rope around his left leg; to left, column surmounted by statue. BMC 12. RPC VIII online ID 20262 (this coin listed). Rare. A bold and impressive medallion with a highly interesting reverse. Good very fine. Ex Künker 347, 22 March 2021, 1211 (expertly cleaned since), Naumann E-Auction 79, 7 July 2019, 391 and Naumann E-Auction 76, 7 April 2019, 276. This impressive medallion from Temenothyrae portrays on its obverse the bust of the holy Roman Senate, and on its reverse, a marvelous depiction of the vigorous Herakles with a torch (?), club, and lion's skin, almost dancing as he approaches a column crowned by a statue. The unnatural posture of the hero is explained by the presence of a small Eros at the lower left, apparently pulling him along with a rope wrapped around his right leg. The significance of the portrayal is unclear; it may involve a local myth beautifully captured by the engraver but unfortunately remains closed to us in its meaning. Starting price: 250 CHF |  |
