| Lot description: Antinous Framed Æ Octassarion of Mantinea, Arcadia. Struck AD 134. Veturius, priest of the cult of Antinous. BЄTOYPOIC, bareheaded, heroic nude bust right / TOIC ARKACI, horse stepping right. BCD Peloponnesos 1493 (same dies); Blum 4; BMC 89; SNG Copenhagen -. 53.39g, 50mm, 1h. About Very Fine; some roughness to surfaces. From a private Swedish collection. Belonging to the largest denomination of a series of five commemorative pieces struck in Mantinea for Antinous, the present piece has been further enhanced by the addition of the circular frame, a device seldom seen on Roman Provincial coins and indeed known to have been employed on only two other medallions of Antinous: one from Tarsus in Cilicia (Blum pg. 53, 13), and one from Nicomedia in Bithynia (Gemini III, 9 January 2007, lot 387). Estimate: 250 GBP |  |
