Ex Triton II (1 December 1998), lot 620 (hammer $2,400).

Perinthus apparently put on a grand display for Caracalla as the emperor made his way eastward to confront the Persians. The city staged a dual festival, hosting both Actian and Pythian Games for the visitors, and in recognition of the honor Caracalla bestowed upon the city the neocorate. Medallions were struck to celebrate the emperor’s visit, of which many share the same obverse die.


For his Third Labor, Herakles was required to capture the Cerynean Hind, with its brazen hooves and golden horns, alive and bring it from Oenoe to Mycenae. Herakles chased the stag for one full year before it finally tired, finally capturing it.

CYRRHESTICA, Hierapolis. Caracalla. AD 198-217. BI Tetradrachm (25mm, 11.67 g, 12h). Struck AD 215-217. Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Cult figures of Haddad, seated on bulls, and Atargatis, seated on lions, between which is a semeion surmounted by a pigeon; all supported by eagle standing facing, head right, with wings spread; between eagle’s legs, lion advancing right. Prieur 925; Bellinger p. 42, fig. 2. Lightly toned, porosity. Near VF. Extremely rare and important type, only four known to Prieur, three in CoinArchives.


Lucian of Samosata describes in detail the Hierapolitan cult images of Haddad and Atargatis (whom he refers to as Zeus and Hera) in his De Dea Syria (31-33), a “guidebook” of sorts to the deities’ temple in Hierapolis and the cult practices taking place there. His description of the statues of Atargatis, Haddad, and the mysterious “symbol” comports wonderfully with the figures as they appear on this type:



The great temple is open to all; the sacred shrine to the priests alone and not to all of these, but only to those who are deemed nearest to the gods and who have the charge of the entire administration of the sacred rites. In this shrine are placed the statues, one of which is Hera, the other Zeus, though they call him by another name. Both of these are golden, both are sitting; Hera is supported by lions, Zeus is sitting on bulls...between the two there stands another image of gold, no part of it resembling the others. This possesses no special form of its own, but recalls the characteristics of other gods. The Assyrians themselves speak of it as a symbol (Greek σημεῖον), but they have assigned it no definite name. They have nothing to tell us about its origin, nor its form: some refer to it as Dionysus; others to Deukalion; others to Semiramis; for its summit is crowned by a golden pigeon, and this is why they allege it is the effigy of Semiramis.

Leo II, with Zeno. AD 474. AV Solidus (20mm, 4.43 g, 6h). Constantinople mint, 3rd officina. Struck 18 January-17 November. Pearl-diademed, helmeted, and cuirassed bust facing slightly right, holding spear over shoulder and shield / Leo and Zeno seated facing on double throne, both nimbate and holding mappa; star and cross above; Γ//CONOB. RIC X 803; Depeyrot 98/1. Toned, minor marks, light mark at edge, some scratches largely under tone. Good VF. Extremely rare from this officina. The third and finest known. The other two: 1) Fagerlie 544 = Stockholm; 2) Rauch 108, 439.


Leo II’s grandfather and namesake Leo I was not expected to produce an imperial dynasty. In fact, his appointment and expected tenure as emperor which came about through the covert maneuvering of the powerful magister militum and patrician, Aspar, was likely intended to be short. Aspar may well have placed Leo I on the throne in order to bide his time in solidifying his own imperial dynastic ambitions. Writing on Leo I’s appointment, Crawford noted that “such a combination of poor lineage, obscurity, age and close connections to Aspar makes it seem that Leo meant as a place-holder, elevated to allow Aspar to pave the way for the accession of his own family” (Crawford, 45). However, Leo proved to be more strong-willed than Aspar bargained for. Leo I and his wife harbored dynastic ambitions, and managed to produce a son. This potential heir, however, soon died in infancy. Leo I’s daughter, Aelia Ariadne, consequently became an extremely important factor in the imperial succession. Leo was first persuaded to betroth Ariadne to Aspar’s second son Patricius. However, Leo later reneged on the betrothal and instead married her to an Isaurian soldier named Zeno, who had brought about the downfall of Aspar’s eldest son Ardaburius on accusations of treason. Aspar lost control of his puppet and was ultimately eliminated.

If the new Leonid dynasty was to endure, Leo I would need a viable heir. Ariadne and Zeno soon produced a son, Leo II, who became Leo I’s presumptive successor. When the elder Leo’s health began to falter, he raised his eponymous grandson to the rank of Caesar in October AD 473, then Augustus in January AD 474. Leo I died a few days later, and the sickly seven-year-old Leo II became sole emperor. Leo’s widow, Aelia Verina, arranged for Leo II to appoint his own father, Zeno, co-emperor on 9 February AD 474, an arrangement that lasted until Leo II died in November of the same year. Afterwards, Zeno ruled as sole emperor. This solidus was struck during their brief joint-reign.
