Lot description: BITHYNIA. Prusa ad Olympum. Macrinus, 217-218. Diassarion (Bronze, 24 mm, 8.01 g, 1 h). ΜΑΚΡЄΙΝΟC ΑΥΓΟΥCΤΟC Laureate head of Macrinus to right. Rev. ΠΡΟΥCΑΕΩΝ Ajax the Telamonian, nude but for helmet and balteus, falling on his sword; before, pile of stones; on ground line, shield. BMC -. RG -. SNG Copenhagen -. SNG von Aulock -. Solidus 18 (2017), 169 (same dies). Extremely rare, apparently the second known example. Some roughness and the obverse struck slightly off center, otherwise, very fine. The Telamonian Ajax was one of the main protagonists of the Trojan War. As the second-strongest warrior of the Greeks after his cousin Achilles, Ajax fought hard to recover the hero's body, but in the argument that followed, Achilles' body armor was awarded to the eloquent Odysseus instead of him. Grievously offended, Ajax fell into a rage the following night, killing a flock of sheep that he imagined to be Odysseus and Agamemnon. Coming to his senses somewhat later, he found himself covered in the blood of the sheep and decided to commit suicide to efface his disgrace. Ajax fell on the sword he had received from Hektor in an exchange of presents, and from his blood sprang a red flower that bore on its leaves the initial letters of his name, AI, letters that were also a cry of lament. Starting price: 75 CHF ILLUSTRAZIONE: Bronzetto di Aiace suicida in mostra al Museo etrusco di Populonia – Collezione Gasparri

Lot description: Syracuse Decadrachm signed by Euainetos circa 400 BC, AR 43.19 g. Fast quadriga driven l. by charioteer, holding reins and kentron; in field above, Nike flying r. to crown him. In exergue, display of military harness set on two steps and below, [Α]ΘΛ[Α]. Rev. ΣΥ – ΡΑΚ – Ο – ΣΙ – ΩΝ Head of Arethusa (Kore-Persephone) l., wearing barley-wreath, triple pendant earring and beaded necklace. Around, three dolphins, while a fourth makes dorsal contact with neck truncation; beneath, EY – AINE. SNG München 1075. AMB 480 (this obverse die). Gallatin RIII/C.I (this coin listed and this obverse illustrated). Rare and in exceptional condition for the issue, undoubtedly one of the finest signed decadrachms of Euainetos in private hands. A portrait of Arethusa of masterly style perfectly struck on a full flan and exceptionally complete. Wonderful old cabinet tone and good extremely fine Published in Gallatin in and from an Exceptional Collection assembled between the early 70s and late 90s. Coins of the artist Euainetos are among the most exquisite works of art from the ancient Greek world. Of special value are his decadrachms, which must have been distributed widely, for they were influential to artists in regions far removed from the shores of Sicily. It is unlikely that many were exported through the normal channels of commerce, and we might suggest that, much like the staters of Olympia, some were acquired as keepsakes and were carried to a variety of destinations. The decadrachms of Kimon and Euainetos were introduced early in the reign of the tyrant Dionysius I (405-367 B.C.), and those of Euainetos continued to be struck for decades, perhaps even beyond the 360s. We might presume that Dionysus took a personal interest in producing such large coins of fine style to evince his patronage of the arts and to promote the success of his rule. There is also good reason to believe that after Euainetos' initial contributions, die cutting for the series eventually was carried out by understudies and successors. In some cases, Euainetos' signature appears to have been retained as a fixed element of the design until about midway through, when it was lost altogether. In general, these understudies meticulously copied the work of the master engraver. Gallatin notes that the entire series shows a most amazing repetition of the details of the arrangement of the hair, with locks and curls being slavishly repeated. Though a precise context has not been convincingly established for the Syracusan decadrachms of Kimon and Euainetos, it is tempting to associate their introduction with a military victory. The display of armour and weaponry that appears in the exergue is militant, and the inscription ΑΘΛΑ, which indicates prizes for at least agonistic contests, only adds to that prospect. Since it was a common practice of Greek soldiers to engrave dedicatory inscriptions on captured armour, a connection might be drawn between that phenomenon and what is presented on the decadrachms. The obverse also appears to allude to victory with its vivid scene of a charioteer guiding his team through a bend. Estimate: 100000 CHF
