The Prospero Collection of Ancient Greek Coins. ITALY. Calabria , Tarentum (c.344-338 B.C.), Gold Stater, 8.56g,. Head of Hera facing to right, her curling hair held in a stephane decorated with palmettes, a diaphanous veil is visible on both sides of her neck, small E behind, a small dolphin swimming downwards and TAPA before. Rev. TAPANTINΩN , Taras standing to right, raising his hands in supplication towards Poseidon, seated to left on a stool, wearing a himation over his lower limbs and holding a trident, K beneath stool, a star and ├ on right (E.S.G. Robinson, Ancient Greek Coins in the possession of William Harrison Woodward (privately printed, Oxford, 1928), no. 4 (this coin); Vlasto 1 (these dies); Vlasto, ‘Les monnaies d’or de Tarente’, JIAN II, 1899, p. 306, I; A.J. Evans, ‘The Artistic Engravers of Terina and the Signature of Evaenetos on its later Didrachm Dies’, NC 1912, p. 45; Head, BM Principal Coins, pl. 25, 7 (these dies); HN Italy 901 (these dies); Kraay - Hirmer pl. 109, 315, and colour plate X). Two small insignificant nicks on the obverse and one on the reverse edge, extremely fine and very rare, a superb example and one of the most beautiful designs to appear on an ancient Greek gold coin. This coin published in ‘Ancient Greek Coins in the possession of William Harrison Woodward’, E.S.G. Robinson (1928), p. 2, 4, illustrated on pl. I. Ex Sir Arthur J. Evans Collection Ex William Harrison Woodward Collection Ex Reverend Arnold Mallinson Collection, Spink Auction 39, London, 6 December 1984, lot 36 The obverse of this coin bears a very delicately engraved head of Hera, the wife of Zeus. On the reverse appears ‘K’, probably the initial of the artist responsible for the types of this beautiful coin. It is possible that this is the same artist who engraved beautiful dies, signed ‘Kal’, at Herakleia (see lot 46 for an example). The fascinating reverse type of the above coin has been given various historical interpretations, associating it with an appeal made by Tarentum around this time for aid to help control increasing pressure from the surrounding tribes of Lucanians and Messapians. Taras is shown appealing to his father Poseidon, and the parent city of Tarentum was Sparta, to whom they did appeal for help at this time. An alternative historical association could be the campaign of intervention by Alexander of Epirus, the uncle of Alexander the Great, undertaken after the Spartan one. Whatever the inspiration for the reverse type, the whole scene is a composition of great complexity and detail, and has been beautifully and finely engraved. The arrangement of the figures gives the viewer a genuine sense of realism and movement. Taras appears almost desperate in his appeal and Poseidon, gazing down upon Taras, is rendered with gentle and sympathetic body-language. This superb coin is a very interesting example of a mythological type that perhaps reflects the current historical events at the time of issue. US$ 70,000

Crete, Polyrhenion AR Stater. 4th century BC. Magistrate Charisthe. Laureate head of Zeus to right / Head of sacrificial bull facing, with pendant fillets hanging from horns; ΧΑΡΙΣΘΕ above, ΠΟΛΥΡΗΝΙΟΝ around. Svoronos (1972) 6, pl. XXV, 29 (same dies); Le Rider (1966) pl. XXXIII, 19 (same dies). 11.43g, 25mm, 1h.
Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare, and among the finest known examples.
From a private American Collection.
Polyrhenion was one the oldest Dorian settlements of Crete, whose etymology is 'rich in lambs'. According to Strabo it was settled in archaic times by Achaian and Lakonian immigrants who gathered into one city the existing population, who had lived in villages, some 7 km inland from the Bay of Kissamos. Excavations from 1938 have exposed several building foundations which defy identification, but it may safely be presumed that one of these was a temple dedicated to Zeus.
The bull sacrifice was a universal and key element of Greek religion, and it held particular significance in Crete which was rich in mythological traditions relating to the bull as a divine animal, being either divinely directed or indeed itself a theriomorphic god in bull form. Indeed, the central importance of the bull in Cretan culture was an ancient one predating even the arrival of the Mycenean Greeks in the 14th century BC; twentieth century archaeological excavations begun by Arthur Evans in 1900 dramatically 'resurrected' the lost Minoan civilisation and uncovered a wealth of artefacts which, among other things, portray the bull as a major religious symbol.
The mythical origin of the idea of bull or ox sacrifice was believed to be from the story of Prometheos in Hesiod's Theogamy (521-616). At Mekone, in a a sacrificial meal marking the 'settling of accounts' between mortals and immortals, Prometheos purposely deceives Zeus by assigning to him a good-looking portion 'wrapped in glistening fat' that consists of nothing but bones, thus ensuring humans would keep the meat for themselves and burn the bones wrapped in fat as an offering to the gods.

ILLUSTRAZIONI: Il gioco del toro, un frammento di affresco rinvenuto nel palazzo di Cnosso, nell'isola di Creta (prima illustrazione); reinterpretazione moderna (seconda illustrazione).

BUON FERRAGOSTO!! 

Il termine Ferragosto deriva dalla locuzione latina Feriae Augusti (riposo di Augusto) indicante una festività istituita dall'imperatore Augusto nel 18 a.C. che si aggiungeva alle già esistenti festività cadenti nello stesso mese, come i Vinalia rustica, i Nemoralia o i Consualia. Era un periodo di riposo e di festeggiamenti che traeva origine dalla tradizione dei Consualia, feste che celebravano la fine dei lavori agricoli, dedicate a Conso che, nella religione romana, era il dio della terra e della fertilità. L'antico Ferragosto, oltre agli evidenti fini di auto-promozione politica, aveva lo scopo di collegare le principali festività agostane per fornire un adeguato periodo di riposo, anche detto Augustali, necessario dopo le grandi fatiche profuse durante le settimane precedenti.
