Justinian I the Great (AD 527-565). AV solidus (21mm, 4.48 gm, 6h).  Constantinople, 10th officina, AD 527-537. D N IVSTINI-ANVS P P AVG, pearl-diademed, helmet and cuirassed bust facing, head slightly right, holding spear over right shoulder and, on left arm, shield decorated with motif of horseman spearing fallen enemy / VICTORI-A AVGGG, angel standing facing, holding long cross in right hand and globus cruciger in left, star in right field, I//CONOB. Sear 137. DOC 3i. MIB 5. Crisply struck devices, lustrous fields. NGC (photo-certificate) MS 4/5 - 3/5, scuff. From The Andre Constantine Dimitriadis Collection. Justinian I is deservedly called "the Great" for his expansive ambition and his many accomplishments. Blessed with a keen intellect, a unique ability to spot talent, a tireless capacity for hard work, and unflinching belief in his vision, he quite nearly reconstituted the Roman Empire in its entirety and might have given it a long-term second lease on life, if not for a few twists of fate. His great generals Belisarius, Germanus and Narses carried East Roman arms from the Euphrates to southern Spain, restoring Africa and Italy to imperial control and turning the Mediterranean once more into a Roman lake, albeit at tremendous cost in coin and blood. In stone and concrete he built Hagia Sophia, the most spectacular church to survive antiquity; in parchment and ink he built the Code of Justinian, a towering work of jurisprudence that is still forms the foundation of European law. An early supporter of women's rights, he insisted that his beautiful and canny wife, Theodora, be granted co-equal powers to his own and often sought her counsel; indeed she saved the regime during the Nika Riots of AD 532. Like many great men, he evoked wildly differing views of his merits: His biographer Procopius both hailed him as a godlike being and attacked him as a demonic tyrant. The disasters of the AD 550s, including earthquakes, a horrific plague that killed a quarter of the Empire's population, and military reverses that undid many early conquests, seemed to show God's displeasure with his rule. Nevertheless Justinian and his picked men strove mightily to overcome these setbacks and, by AD 560, had seemingly done just that. The overall brilliance of his 38-year reign was reflected in the magnificent artistic, architectural, legal, and literary achievements of the age, which cast a long shadow in the centuries to come. This coin from the Dimitriadis Collection has been issued a photo-certificate by NGC. It may be sent in for encapsulation after the auction at the request of the buyer, free of charge.

A lovely delicate and homogeneous riverine patina: about fdc / good extremely fine. The workmanship of this medallion is not only pleasing to the eye, but is worthy of careful study, for the reverse is engraved with a technique that could only be employed by an artist of remarkable talent. The artist of this reverse die created a multi-layered scene by engraving figures and buildings on different planes, thus giving the illusion of far greater depth than can literally exist on a piece of this scale. It is a brilliant work of art on every level: style, composition, invention and technique.  Estimate: 20000 GBP

Sicily, Zankle-Messana AR Tetradrachm. Samian occupation, 494/3 BC. Facing lion's scalp / Prow of a Samaina (Samian galley) left, with ram, akrostolion and fighting platform on deck. Barron p. 178, 1 (same dies); HGC 2, 772. 17.24g, 20mm, 10h. Near Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare, only 5 examples cited by Barron. From the Eckenheimer collection. In 493 BC emigrants from Samos along with some Milesians and other Ionians were invited to Sicily by Skythes, the ruler of Zankle, to assist with the founding of a new city. When the Ionian settlers were already in Italian waters, Skythes marched out with the forces of Zankle to besiege a nearby city of the native Sikels, presumably in aid of the enterprise. However at this point the Samians, who had now reached Lokroi, were persuaded by Anaxilas the tyrant of Rhegion to take advantage of the absence of the Zanklaians, and that rather than endure the hardships of founding a new colony they should take over Zankle itself while its men were away. The Samians agreed and did so; by the time Skythes had hurried back to his city he found the walls held against him. Skythes appealed for aid to his liege Hippokrates of Gela, who instead imprisoned him for the loss of his city and came to terms with the Samians. Hippokrates then enslaved the majority of the men of Zankle, but delivered 300 of the leading men to the Samians to be put to death, apparently hoping to get rid of them without himself spilling the blood of men with whom he had had treaty relations. The Samians spared these men, but enslaved most of the remaining population within the walls, of which they gave a half share to Hippokrates. The Samians, having thus taken for themselves a new city, elected to strike coins on the Euboic standard bearing the types of the lion's scalp used at Samos and a Samian galley, though without an ethnic – presumably because they were a mixed body of Samians, Milesians and others, and thus had not yet determined a collective identity. Some of these coins are known to bear a single letter, ABΔ or E indicating their year of production; those without such a marker as in the case of the present specimen are believed to have been the first struck after the occupation, which lasted in total for a period of five years before Anaxilas himself ejected the Samians and colonised the city again, renaming it Messana.
