Title A name given to the resource Croton, Bruttium, Silver Stater Subject The topic of the resource Croton, Bruttium (Italy). Silver Stater, 530-480 BCE. OBVERSE: Tripod lion’s feet; in right field, heron facing left. Retrograde inscription in left field "QPW" (= KROTON), with archaic letter koppa; raised dotted border (quite worn). REVERSE: Tripod incuse, with incuse border of radiating lines. Description An account of the resource Croton was founded as an Achaean colony in 710 BCE. Croton was a very prosperous Greek colony: boasting many Olympic victors, the famous wrestler Milon, the school of Pythagoras (opened in 530 BCE), and, according to Herodotus (3.131), some of the ancient world’s best doctors. Milon, famous for more than his Olympic success, went on to lead a military victory against the powerful Italiot Greek city Sybaris, which ushered in a long era of power and prosperity for his city. Tripods were often awarded as a prize in the Olympic games and this coin is possibly a reference to the many great athletes to bring one of these back home. The tripod also recalls the cult of Pythian Apollo, where a priestess would sit atop a tripod and recite oracles. The incuse design on the back closely mirrors the design on the front. These exact incuse coins are a feature of early coins in the Greek world. The archaic koppa, Ϙ, on the right, OBVERSE side of the coin also points to a very early date. Ϙ ceded to the letter kappa (K) in popularity during the fifth century BCE.

Silver Tetradrachm. OBVERSE: In dotted circle, bearded head of Zeus in profile facing right, crowned by laurel leaves. REVERSE: In dotted circle, a nude youth on horse, holding a palm branch. Inscribed arching over youth and horse is "PHILIPPOY,” or “of Phillip.” Dolphin under belly of horse, letter "P" with dot under raised right fore-hoof; test cut through body of horse. Description An account of the resource King Philip II of Macedon (359-336 BCE) was the father of Alexander the Great. He began his relatively short but incredibly successful rule with conquering much of northern Greece followed by Boeotia and Athens in the battle of Chaeroneia (338 BCE) making him the most powerful man in all of Greece. Just before waging a campaign to invade Persia, Philip was assassinated in 336 BCE. Zeus is the god depicted on the OBVERSE of this coin. Philip held many games in honor of Zeus in the southern Macedonian border town of Dion at the foot Mt. Olympus. He also built a treasury temple called Philippeion in the sacred precinct of Zeus in Olympia on the Peloponnese. The REVERSE image is in celebration of an Olympic horse race victory Philip won in 356 BCE, the same year Alexander was born.

Title A name given to the resource Tarentum, Silver Didrachm Subject The topic of the resource Tarentum, Calabria (Italy). Silver Didrachm, 281-276 BCE. OBVERSE: Nude warrior on horseback galloping right, carrying round shield and two spears in left hand, with a third spear pointed downwards in his right hand. Remnants of inscriptions behind rider (SI) and between horse’s legs (LYKWN) (= Lykon, probably the mint master). REVERSE: Young, nude male riding dolphin to the left; inscription TARAS on the right. Description An account of the resource The famous Tarentine horse-riders first appear on coinage around 450 BCE. They could refer to the equestrian games held at Tarentum, or simply to the aristocratic spirit of the nobility of the area. The military poses of some of these riders have suggested to scholars that they reference military struggles with neighboring cities. The mythical founder of Sparta, Phalantos, may be referenced by the reverse illustration. Shipwrecked off the Tarentine coast, it was said that he rode a dolphin safely to shore. Because of the weight and the unabbreviated inscription bearing the name of the supervising official, this coin can be dated to a specific period just before the Pyrrhic War. Romans, coming to the aid of the northern Thurioi, crossed into the Tarentum’s harbor in violation of an earlier treaty. The Tarentines responded by sinking half of the Roman fleet and going north to expel the Roman garrison in Thurioi. In the following year, the Romans sent an envoy to Tarentum to re-negotiate the terms of the treaty. They were instead insulted in the town theater. King Pyrrhus of Epirus was then called upon by the Tarentines to help with the upcoming war. King Pyrrhus managed to defeat the Romans twice, but famously said, “If we win one more victory against the Romans, we will be completely ruined” (Plutarch, Life of Pyrrhus 21.14). He later abandoned them in favor of Sicily and it was not long before the Romans finally finished the Pyrrhic War (280-272 BCE) as victors and forced Tarentum to allow a permanent Roman garrison.

Title A name given to the resource Macedonian, Silver Tetradrachm Subject The topic of the resource Macedonian Kingdom, Alexander III (the Great) (336-323 BCE), Tarsus (Cilicia) mint, Silver Tetradrachm, 333-327 BCE. OBVERSE: Young head of Herakles, wearing Nemean lion's skin. In profile, facing right. REVERSE: Zeus seated on throne with knobbed legs, facing left, feet on footstool. He holds an eagle in his outstretched right hand and a scepter in his left. Inscription ALEXANDROU (= "of Alexander") in right field. Mint mark "B" below throne. Description An account of the resource The coinage of Alexander the Great has been found all over the ancient world. It is believed to be one of the most widely circulated coinage in all of antiquity. This obverse portrait is one of the most famous images associated with Alexander. On the obverse, we see a young, beardless Herakles. This image was common among Macedonian kings since Herakles was said to be their ancestor. Alexander conquered the city of Tarsus in 333 BCE. Zeus, featured on the reverse of the coin, is a fitting symbol of this new kingship. Interestingly, however, he seems to be sitting on a Persian style throne. Some scholars have suggested this unusual iconography is because the former Persian satrap of area, Mazaios, had minted very similar coins featuring Baal of Tarsus holding an eagle. Whether because the artists only knew how to draw one sort of throne, or by Alexander’s own design, the result of this similarity was beneficial to the new king. The Greek military could interpret the coins as Zeus, a symbol of their power and domination of the area, and the locals could interpret it as their own deity, Baal. The coincidence helped Alexander both secure the loyalty of his troops and convince the locals of his respect for their culture.

Title A name given to the resource Aegina, Silver Drachm Subject The topic of the resource Aegina, Silver Drachm, ca. 350 BCE. OBVERSE: Land turtle, head turned right, seen from above, flanked by the initials of AIGINA, the letter "alpha" on its left, "iota" on the right REVERSE: Five-part incuse square with thin, partly rectilinear bands; remnants of letters (?) in upper two divisions, of a dolphin in lower rectangular division. Description An account of the resource Aegina was the first island in Greece proper to mint coinage, around 580 BCE. The iconic turtle was always part of the design, first a sea turtle and then a land turtle. The sea turtle was likely a reference to their naval fleet which, from the seventh to fifth centuries BCE, was one of the most powerful in Greece; even contributing a third of the ships used to fight Xerxes at Salamis in 480 BCE. The reason for the change from sea to land turtles is unknown. They did lose some of their naval prominence as the centuries progressed but there is no clear explanation of the change. Until the Peloponnesian War, the chelonai (turtles) were the only universally accepted coinage in the Peloponnese. They were so common, in fact, that a proverb was created: “Virtue and wisdom are vanquished by turtles." Aeginetan weight standards were also copied by many other cities in Northern Greece and Asia Minor. In 458 BCE, Athens conquered Aegina and forced out its citizens. When Athens was defeated about fifty years later, in 404 BCE, the Aeginetans were finally allowed to return and they celebrated with the release of a new batch of chelonai, to which this coin belongs.

Title A name given to the resource Tarentum, Silver Diobol Subject The topic of the resource Tarentum, Calabria (Italy). Silver Diobol, 325-300 BCE. OBVERSE: Head of Athena, facing left, wearing a crested Attic helmet decorated with olive wreath and wing. REVERSE: Hercules, kneeling on his right leg, left leg extended, a club in his right arm, is fighting off the Nemean Lion that is attacking him from the right. Description An account of the resource This coin is from Sparta’s sole colony, Tarentum. It was one of the richest and, incidentally, one of the safest harbors along the coast. It was famed for its rich textiles and a precious deep red/purple dye, made by gathering the secretions of a sea slug in the Murex family. The dye was incredibly hard to gather and took thousands of slugs to acquire enough of the dye to color just one simple piece of clothing. Understandably, the involved process resulted in a high price tag and only very wealthy families could afford the dyed cloth. In fact, after time, there were laws against anyone wearing the color but the imperial family. Around 380 BCE, Tarentum led a confederation of Italiot Greek cities, based in Heraclea, which aligned to battle the surrounding non-Greek tribes. Other members were Elea, Croton, Thurioi, and Metapontum. This diobol is an example of the league's common coinage, which imitated the design of Heraclean coins from the confederacy. The REVERSE shows Herakles in one of his most famous labors: the battle with the Nemean lion. The lion could not be killed by a weapon and Herakles had to strangle the lion with his bare hands to complete the labor. Nevertheless, it seems that here he is about to strike the lion with his famous club. Herakles later wears this lion skin, as seen on the Macedonian coin, number 2006.010.013. There is a Hermogenean skyphos on view in the Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh Gallery that shows Herakles with the lion. The number is 2004.069.007.

Title A name given to the resource Messana, Silver Tetradrachm Subject The topic of the resource Messana, originally Zancle, Sicily. Silver Tetradrachm, 470-466 BCE. OBVERSE: Seated charioteer driving an apene, a race chariot drawn by two mules, to the right. Large laurel leave in exergue; all set in dotted border. REVERSE: In dotted border, hare jumping right. Inscription "MESSE-N-ION" (of the Messenians) with small omikron. Description An account of the resource Zancle (“sickle”), named for its sickle-shaped harbor, was conquered by Anaxilas, the tyrant of Rhegium, a city on the Italic peninsula just across the strait, in the early fifth century BCE. Anaxilas settled Messenian exiles there and the named was changed to Messana. (Messana is the Doric dialect version of Messene, a region on the Peloponnese that was dominated by Sparta). The OBVERSE depicts a man riding an apene, or a chariot drawn by two mules. The Olympic games first held apene races in 500 BCE; but, considered too undignified, they were abolished as early as 444 BCE. Anaxilas, however, was so proud of his Olympic victory with the apene that he commemorated it with this coin type, first struck in 480 BCE. This type became so highly associated with Messana that it was kept even after the death of Anaxilas and the expulsion of his successors in 461 BCE. The laurel leaf in the exergue, the area below the chariot, represents the olive crown that was awarded to victors at the Olympic games. The symbolism of the hare is a bit more ambiguous, referring to either the speed of Anaxilas’ chariot, the fertility and abundance of the island or possibly the fact that Aristotle (quoted by Pollux, Onomasticon 5.75) claims that Anaxilas brought the hare to Sicily (as hunting hares was a popular activity for aristocrats).

Title A name given to the resource Persis, Silver Drachm Subject The topic of the resource Persis, Unknown ruler, Silver Drachm, ca. 190-164 BCE. OBVERSE: In dotted border, head of ruler right, with close-cropped beard, a circular earring, and a flat kyrbasia (Persian crown) bound with a ruler's diadem, which is tied in the back. On top of the kyrbasia stands a royal falcon in frontal view with outstretched wings. REVERSE: Fire altar (overstruck) with double-paneled doors, podium, pilaster, and architrave, surmounted by stepped gables. Between the gables, a Farnah (king's splendor) hovering right. The altar is framed by a falcon standard on the left and a barely visible ruler in adoring position with upraised arms on the right. Description An account of the resource Persis, an area now in southern Iran, was the original home of the Persians. Conquered by Alexander the Great, it was controlled by the Seleucids after his death in 323 BCE. There was a period, however, when Persis was basically independent: after the battle of Magnesia in 190 BCE, which weakened Seleucid power in the region, and before occupation by the Parthian empire in 140 BCE. This coin likely comes from that time of independence. The obverse shows the face of a ruler; though it is hard to determine which ruler. Some scholars identify him has Vadahfrad II (Autophradates II), but this identification is based on another coin with a similar image and a barely readable inscription. The obverse of this coin shows the ruler in a Hellenistic fashion, much like the Seleucid rulers before him, though he is shown with distinctive Persian details: mainly a flat Persian crown, called a kyrbasia, adorned with the Zoroastrian royal bird, the falcon, outstretched and facing the viewer. The reverse shows a typical Persian scene: a fire altar with a representation of the god Ahuramazda. To the left is an eagle standard and, to the right and barely distinguishable, are the arms of a ruler honoring the god. The Hallie Ford Museum of Art’s coin is peculiar because the flan has been double-struck, seemingly by accident. The outline of another fire altar in a different orientation can be seen impressed in the coin.

Title A name given to the resource Ptolemaic, Silver Tetradrachm Subject The topic of the resource Ptolemaic Kingdom, Ptolemy IX Soter II (first reign 116-107 BCE), Silver Tetradrachm, 110-09 BCE. OBVERSE: Head of Ptolemy I wearing diadem and aegis right, set in dotted border. REVERSE: Eagle sitting on a fulmen (winged thunderbolt of Zeus). Inscription above: "PTOLEMAIOU BASILEWS” (= Ptolemaiou Basileos, "of King Ptolemy). In left field, L and year "H" (8. year = 110/09 BCE). Mint mark on right: "PA" (=Alexandria). Description An account of the resource The first Ptolemy, Ptolemy I Soter, was elected satrap of Egypt after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE. In 305, he declared himself king of Egypt and started the Ptolemaic dynasty that would rule for almost three-hundred years. This coin, while depicting Ptolemy I Soter, was issued under Ptolemy IX Soter II (first reign 116-107 BCE). When Ptolemy IX’s father, Ptolemy VIII Euergetes died, he declared his wife, Cleopatra III, co-ruler with whomever of their sons she would chose. Cleopatra chose her younger son, Ptolemy Alexander, but faced outcry from the people. She then installed her older son, the producer of this coin, Ptolemy IX Soter II. Swapping her two sons back and forth from co-ruler to king of Cyprus, they continued to rule until 107 BCE when Cleopatra convinced the people of Alexandria that her older son Ptolemy IX Soter II was trying to kill her. Leaving Alexandria, he fled to Cyprus. In 101 BCE, Cleopatra was murdered by her younger son, Ptolemy Alexander, when she tried to swap brothers once again. He took control of Egypt until the people rebelled against him in 88 BCE, allowing Ptolemy IX Soter II to return to the Egyptian throne. Ptolemy Alexander was killed at sea while attempting to seize Cyprus and Ptolemy IX was left to rule in peace until he died in 81 BCE. The Greek letter Eta (H), dates the coin to the eighth year of Ptolemy IX Soter II’s rule (110/109 BCE), two years before he was driven into exile by his mother. Instead of featuring himself on the coins, he featured the founder of the dynasty, clearly attempting to emphasize his legitimacy and power as the descendent of this powerful man.

Title A name given to the resource Metapontum, Silver Stater Subject The topic of the resource Metapontum, Lucania (Italy) Silver Stater, ca. 325-300 BCE. OBVERSE: Head of Demeter, wearing necklace and triple-pendant earring and crowned by a wreath of three barley ears and two pairs of leaves, facing right. Signature under chin: “DA(I)”. REVERSE: Seven-grained ear of barley in center with a leaf curving to the right. Above the leaf is a small plow, below it part of the mint supervisor's mark, “M(AX)”. In left field, inscription "META," abbreviation for METAPONTIWN (= Metapontion, "of the Metapontians"). There is a die flaw in the upper left awns of the ear of barley. Description An account of the resource Metapontum (Greek: Metapontion) was an Achaean colony on the Italian coast. Located between two rivers, the area was famed for its rich croplands. They were even able to afford sending a “golden harvest,” probably golden replicas of sheaves of barley, to the sanctuary at Delphi (Strabo 6.264). Golden sheaves of barley, represented by the grain on the REVERSE of this coin, were symbolic for the city, signifying the wealth and richness of their grain. Accordingly, the grain acted both as the city’s badge and became the standard REVERSE illustration for coinage as early as the fifth century BCE. Demeter, the grain goddess who also held domain over farming, was a very appropriate patron for the area and her bust often graced the OBVERSE of their coinage. This particular engraving may be inspired by the head of Arethusa engraved by Kimon in fifth century BCE Syracuse.
