Grade: -

SELEUCIS and PIERIA, Antioch. Pseudo-autonomous issue. temp. Augustus, 27 BC-AD 14. Æ Trichalkon (20mm, 7.88 g, 12h). Struck under P. Quinctillius Verus, Governor of Syria. Dated year 25 of the Actian Era (7/6 BC). Laureate head of Zeus right / Tyche seated right on rocky outcropping, holding palm branch; at feet, river-god Orontes swimming right; EK (date) in right field. McAlee 85; RPC I 4242. Near VF, earthen green patina.Up until his final battle, Publius Quinctillius Varus was one of the most celebrated of Augustus' generals. He had been consul in 13 BC (along with the future emperor Tiberius), governor of Syria from 7-4 BC, where he had sent two legions into Judaea to quell local unrest after the territory was converted to a Roman province, and subsequently governor of Germania. By AD 9, Augustus had decided to straighten (and thereby shorten) Rome's borders by conquering the vast region of Germania beyond the Rhine. He assigned Varus to develop the region without war, but the mixed Gauls and Germans living there were not prepared to accept Romanization. The Cherusci, under their king Arminius, along with other allies, ambushed Varus in the Teutoburg Forest of northwest Germany, and there annihilated the XVII, XVIII, and XIX Roman legions in a pitched battle that lasted for three days. Varus, sensing doom, committed suicide, and when Augustus heard of the disaster, he tore his clothes and screamed, "Varus, give me back my legions." No further attempts were made to subdue the Germans beyond the Rhine until the reign of Domitian, and Varus was blamed for the collapse of imperial policy in Germany.

Grade: -

LESBOS, Mytilene. Circa 377-326 BC. EL Hekte – Sixth Stater (9.5mm, 2.54 g, 11h). Laureate head of Apollo (Dionysos?) right / Head of female right, drapery at neck, within linear square. Bodenstedt Em. 95; HGC 6, 1021 (obv. head described as Dionysos). VF, lightly toned.Ex Roma E-Sale 14 (27 December 2014), lot 140.This is one of the few coins of this type that we have handled where the obverse portrait may actually be Dionysos, as there is what looks like a pinecone at the top of the laurel wreath. Normally, Dionysos would be wreathed with ivy leaves, but the wreath on this coin, and this type, usually looks more like laurel leaves. It is possible that this type is either an engraver's error, or was meant to be a distinct issue different from the Apollo obverse type.
