[apollonia]

Ho già avuto modo qui di parlare di qualche moneta di Seleuco I Nicatore, il fondatore della dinastia seleucide e il successore di Alessandro Magno che più si avvicinò a restaurare l’interezza dell’impero macedone. Questo tetradramma della prossima NAC 114 di Zurigo (lotto 348) ha una stima in CHF a sei cifre.

The Seleucid kings of Syria, Seleucus I, 312-280. Tetradrachm, Pergamum 281, AR 17.05 g. Bridled horsehead r., with horns. Rev. ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΣΕΛΕΥΚΟΥ Elephant walking r; below, monograms. SC 2 (this coin).
Of the highest rarity, apparently only two specimens known. An issue of tremendous
importance and fascination. Perfectly centred on a full flan and with a lovely
iridescent tone. Extremely fine.

Ex NAC 11, 1998, 111 and Tkalec 20 February 2000, 179 sales.

This tetradrachm is an iconic issue of Seleucus I, the founder of the Seleucid dynasty, whose kingdom at its highest point extended from Thrace and Asia Minor in the West to Bactria in the East and from the Black Sea in the north to the borders of Egypt in the South. Out of all of the Successors of Alexander the Great, he was the one who came closest to restoring the entirety of the Macedonian Empire, and this coin essentially encapsulates the story of how he did it. The obverse type depicts the head of a magnificent horse adorned with the horns of a bull. The late antique Syrian chronicler John Malalas tells us that in his day (the late fifth-early sixth centuries AD) it was still possible to see a statue in Antioch representing the horned head of a horse erected by Seleucus to honour his own steed who had saved him from destruction at the hands of Antigonos Monophthalmos in 315 BC. Although Seleucus had been appointed satrap of Babylonia by an assembly of Alexander’s former generals in 321 BC, Antigonos, who was made strategos of Asia at the same time sought to remove the satraps that he could not control and thereby become the new master of Alexander’s Empire. Realizing the danger, Seleucus took to his horse and escaped from Babylon to the Egyptian court of Ptolemy. With Ptolemy’s assistance, Seleucus was able to return to Babylon—again on his horse—and reclaim his satrapy in 312 BC. In 306/5 he embarked upon an eastern campaign to gain control of the Upper Satrapies. However, the real benefit of this campaign was a peace treaty made with the Mauryan Emperor Chandragupta that involved the gift of 500 elephants. Elephants, such as the majestic creature depicted on the reverse of the tetradrachm, were the equivalent to the tank of the ancient Greek world, capable of great destruction and inspiring fear in infantry and cavalry alike ranged against them. Like the horse of the obverse, the elephants of Chandragupta had a pivotal role to play in Seleucus’ reign. Thanks to their timely arrival at the Battle of Ipsos (301 BC), it was possible for Seleucus and his allies to defeat and kill Antigonos, thereby ending an ever-present threat to his security. With Antigonos gone, Seleucus could safely rule his eastern kingdom. The tetradrachm as a whole tells the end of the story. It was struck at Pergamon for Seleucus by a local dynast named Philetairos—the founder of the later Attalid dynasty. In 281 BC, the year the coin was issued, Philetairos and other cities and rulers of western Asia Minor invited Seleucus to march west and destroy his sometime ally, Lysimachos, who had made himself very unpopular in the region. Seleucus acquiesced to this request, defeating and killing Lysimacus at the Battle of Korupedion. This victory gained for Seleucus all of Lysimacus’ former territory in Asia Minor and Thrace, but he was not able to savour this triumph for long. Later in the year, as he marched through Thrace, Seleucus was murdered by a refugee from the Ptolemaic court. While elephants and horses could make or break kingdoms, neither was proof against the assassin’s dagger.

La peculiarità consiste nella lettera K sul diritto, coniata sulla pelle di leone dietro l’orecchio di Eracle e interpretata come firma dell’artista incisore del conio.

Un’altra moneta di Alessandro Magno che porta sul diritto come firma l’iniziale dell’incisore del conio tra le pieghe del copricapo di Eracle annodato sul collo, in questo caso una M, è la dramma di Magnesia al Meandro Price 1930. Posso portare come esempio la mia moneta della Münzen & Medaillen GmbH | Auction 37.

The Koinon of Macedonians under the Roman Empire was a religious and administrative confederation of Macedonian cities that had its roots in the royal administration of the Macedonian kingdom under its last kings, Philip V and Perseus. The capital of the Koinon was located at Beroia, where it celebrated pentetric Olympic games. Coinage struck by the Koinon regularly advertised the glories of the past, especially the most widely celebrated Macedonian ever to live—Alexander the Great. On the present coin, struck during the reign of Gordian III, Alexander’s diademed portrait is depicted on the obverse and conforms to descriptions of the Macedonian conqueror in ancient literary sources. He has an elevated gaze, indicative of his pothos (”longing”) to do the impossible and ascend to the gods, and a mane of windswept hair, giving him a powerful leonine appearance. The reverse type is a standard depiction of Alexander charging into battle on the back of his beloved horse, Bucephalus. This particular issue was probably struck in AD 242, when Gordian III passed through the city on his way to make war on the Sasanian Persian Empire. In this context, types featuring Alexander the Great not only celebrated the storied past of the Macedonian cities that made up the Koinon, but honoured the Emperor hoping to repeat the feats of Alexander and destroy the new Persian Empire. Alexander the Great had been a hero to Roman commanders since the late Roman Republic and the admiration of his grand conquests only increased under the Roman Emperors. Julius Caesar and Octavian (the future Augustus) both visited his tomb at Alexandria and lamented their deeds compared to what Alexander had accomplished by the time of his death at age 32. Roman campaigns against the Parthians and Sasanians, the Iranian successors of the Achaemenid Persians were prime occasions for Emperors to compare themselves (and be compared by others) to Alexander, although they were never able to fully duplicate his exploits. Thus there is perhaps an element of imperial flattery at work in the types in light of Gordian’s apparent presence at Beroia in AD 242. As it turned out and as was usual for Roman leaders trying to emulate Alexander, Gordian III fell short. Although he drove back the Sasanians at the Battle of Raesena (AD 243) and began a march against Ctesiphon, his advance was fiercely contested. The Emperor was killed as he tried to force his way towards the Sasanian capital, either killed in the fighting or murdered by his own soldiers following a defeat.
