Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. The Fred B. Shore Collection Of Parthian Coins We are proud to offer Fred Shore's collection of Parthian coins as catalogued by Mr. Shore in his book, Parthian Coins & History: Ten Dragons Against Rome, and published in 1993 by CNG. The following catalogue is excerpted directly from Shore's book with the only additions being that of grades and estimates. For more detailed background information on the Shore collection, please consult his book (i.e. legend formats, stories on individual coins, etc.). The first 483 coins of the Shore collection are individually lotted and appear just as they do in his book. However, not all of these coins are photographed below so please consult his book for photos of those coins. We still have a very limited number of the Shore book available for sale at $35.00 each (order as GR200 from our literature department).

Shore 164 (this coin); Sellwood 35.6 (Darios). Choice EF. ($1250) The spectacularfacing bust drachms, attributed by Sellwood to Darios, were issued throughout the Parthian empire. It seems unlikely that Darios, merely the client king ofMedia Atmpatene, could have issued this coinage. Vie are left now without any attribution for this type. However, these coins differ from the previous drachm type by only one word of legend: 'Philopator' is changed to 'Theopator'. As in the case ofOrodes I, there is only one way to progress from 'loving one'sfather' to 'father is a god', the death of thefather. If we accept the previous (profile) drachm type as that of Phraates III as co-king under his father Sinatrukes, we should now attribute thefacing bust drachms also to Phraates III, issued briefly upon his father's death. The use of a type so strikingly dissimilar to anything that had come before may have been Phraates Ill's way of showing enrphaticnUy that he was now sole king of the Parthian empire.

In the Arsakidfamily, according to tradition, it lasted throughout the dynasty, almost five hundred years. It is probable, however, that later kings' claim to the royal wart was counterfeit, with the lesion on later tetradrachms replaced by a lockofhair.

Ex Hunt collection (Sotheby's 12/4/90, lot 64). The tetradrachms of Artavasdes would be the last large silver coins struck by the Artaxiad kings.

The attribution of this coin to Tigranes II of Armenia is open to question. The portrait does not resemble Tigranes, and he is neuer seen with a consort; it more closely resembles later Artaxiad or Commagene kings. Jugate or conjoined busts appear on Hellenistic coinage, indicating the ruler and his associate, either spouse or other family member holds equal standing. The Seleukid queen Cleopatra appears with her son Antiochos VIII during their joint rule (125-121 BC). On the Armenian side, Erato shared the coinage with Tigranes IV and Tigranes V, while the queens of the Commagene dynasty also shared power. Laodike, wife of Mithradates I, was the grand-daughter of Cleopatra, but even though inscriptionsfrom Commagene put her on nearly equalfooting with her husband, no coin portraits have been identified. /Is for the mint site, Caesarea in Cappadocia is unlikely. There is no evidence for a mint 633. Artavasdes ΠΙ. 5-2 BC. JE 18mm (4.01 gm). Bust of Artavasdes wearthere until Archelaus (36 BC-17AD), and Mt.

However, the later Armenian or Commagene kings, seeking connections to In Nercessian's catalogue, the coin with bird on mountain reverse, attributed to their historic roots in theface of Roman expansionism, might have seen Ararat as a Artaxias I by Bedoukian and Alram is placed under Artavasdes III, leaving no vital symbol of their independence. Mithradates I erected a temple, the Hierothesion known coinage for Artaxias. This coin demonstrates there are two distinct portrait at Arsameia, at thefoot of tzvo mountains whose profile (coincidentally?) resembles types associated with this reverse. The first type, shown in Bedoukian and Alram, por- Ararat. The question remains unresolved until a clear specimen of this exceedingly trays an older, broadfaced man wearing a cap-like peakedtiaramore in keeping with rare coinage appears. the style of the early Artaxiad portraits. The present piece has a younger narrowfaced portrait with tall tiara seen in the later portraits of Artavasdes. Although heavily worn, the reverse preserves enough of the legend to assure the reading of the royal name as ΑΡΤΑ ΥΑΖΔΟΥ, while thefirst type is only readable as ΑΡΤΑ. We might argue that the first coin does indeed represent the coinage of Artaxias I, with the reverse type reappearing under his descendant Artavasdes III. 638. Tigranes II? 95-56 BC.

A few years later, the subsequent coups that removed Phraatakesrelationship in terms of function to the tessera ofEphesos with similar nonsensical leg and Orodes 111from the throne led to his recall in 8 AD. However, the same Parthianends.

He did not even like to ride a horse! Four years later Vonones was again in exile, this time taking the throne of Armenia. The Armenians had no great love for him either, and with the help ofArtabanos threw him out in 16 AD. Vonones wandered through Syria and Cilicia, attempting to gather forces for an invasion ofParthia, until his assassination in 19 AD. There is no known coinage for Vonones as king of Armenia.

Although Maurice's Armenian roots are in dispute, there is no doubt that his military career before becoming emperor reflects the usual path taken by the Armenians in the Byzantine world. Their reknown as soldiers and generals brought them to high positions in the army, and some even to the purple. Armenian troops played a vital role in Maurice's campaigns against the Persians, which resulted in Khusru II taking the Sassanian throne with Byzantine assistance. IfPhocas had not murdered Maurice in 602, a prolonged peace settlement might have ensued. As it was, Heraclius faced the greatest Persian threat ofall in 618, and the Armenian generals on his staff were instrumental in turning back the invaders, leading to the most decisive victory in the long Roman-Persian conflict. Unfortunately both sides were exhausted by the conflict, and neither could resist the Islamic crusading armies out of Arabia.

Bedoukian lists sixteen authenticated Armenian gold coins, several of which cannot be located at present. Nercessian numbers 12 specimens known to him, including this unique half tahekan. The gold coins of Levon were most likely struck at the time of his coronation in 1198, when the Holy Roman emperor Henry Viand the Byzantine emperor Alexius 111 sent crowns symbolizing his elevation. Hoiuever, even the blessings of two emperors could not negate the hostility of the Frankish nobles of the Crusading principalities, with whom Levon and succeeding kings found themselves embmiled in conflict over the status of neighboring territories.

($500) Clement VII, the illegitimate son o/Giuliano de Medici, acted more in the nature ofan Italian prince than head of the Catholic church. He became deeply involved in the political struggle between Francis I of France and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V of Spain. As a result of his intrigues, Charles attacked Rome in May 1527, and the city suffered the worst devastation since the barbarian invasions of the 5th century. Clement also refused to annul the marriage of Henry VIII of England and Catherine of Aragon, a conflict that ended with the establishment of the independent Church of England.

Although the name of Agrinion isfamiliar through the publication of the Agrinion Hoard by Margaret Thompson (ANSNNM159), the town itself has no identifiable coinage of its own. This enigmatic Corinthian style drachm mayfill that void, and the use of the type would be explained by Agrinion's position in the political maneuvering of the Hellenistic age. Although situated within the territory ofAetolia, along the Achelousriver,Agrinion appears to have looked toward the coast and the Corinthian founded cities of Akarnania. In any case, one of the few ancient references to the city lies in Diodoros, xix 67-68, when Kassander ofMacedon intervened in a war between Akarnania and Aetolia, Agrinion being allied with the Akamanians
Classical Numismatic Group, Inc. After Kassander returned to Macedon, Agrinion found itself abandoned by its allies, and in 314 BC was besieged and destroyed by the vengeful Aetolians. The ethnic on this drachm is unrecorded in the literature, and the style is similar but not exactly comparable to the Akarnanian staters of the 4th Century BC. ΑΓΡ(οτΑΓΕ? the last letter is obscured by die breaks) for Agrinion would mark this as thefirstidentified coin from the dty and reflect its association ivith Akarnania, the ultimate muse of its downfall. 1917.

In 107 AD, Trajan decided to demonetize the precious metal coinage issued prior to Nero's reform in 64 AD. This resulted in a substantial gainfor the government as these coins which were melted down were of a heavier and purer metal content than those that would replace them. At the same time, Trajan issued a xoonderful series of restoration coins ofsome of the principal types of Republican denarii and a series of aurei honoring Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Claudius, Galba, coins of the Civil War, Vespasian, Titus and Nerva. The aurei are not true restoration coins of earlier types, but instead offer a commentary on the contemporary perspective of the previous emperors significance to Roman history. This coin uses an obverse of Vespasian with a reverse type previously only used by Titus, a puhinar (cushioned couch) of Jupiter ( represented by the thunderbolt); a fitting symbol for Vespasian who had delivered Rome out of the horrors of Civil war.

($12,500) the presen t specimen served as the "postcard" of the day. A travel 1er visiting Corin th may very well have taken home this coin as a souvenir of his trip, since thefascinating story depicted on the reverse of this coin graphically tells a tale associated with the famous city of Corinth. Corinth was one of the early Roman colonies, established in 44BCby Julius Caesar. The so-called "colt" minage of Corinth was one of the main silver trading coinages of the Greek xoorld and was therefore one of the more important "coins of the realm". On the reverse of this coin is depicted the hill of Acrocorinth upon which rests the famous temple ofAphrodite. Pegasus is to theright,leaping off the Acrocorinth. At the base of the hill to the left is a tree and a rock-cut grotto signifying the fountain of Peirene, the spring nymph of Corinth. To therightis a gateway to an unidentified sanetuary (the tomb of Melikertes?) or perhaps to the Acrocorinth itself. In the exergue is the latin legend, CLI COR, an abbreimtionfor Colonia Laus Ivlia Corinthus or "the Prestigious Julian Colony of Corinth".

A clear exampie is seen on Hunter Vpl.81,ll.A dramatic contrast is seen when the coin isflipped over; this naive portrait of Valens, with the accompanying clumsy lettering could not beapmdurtofa Roman mint. The gold itself is also much too pale for a Roman issue. What can be the explanation ?In the mid 370's Valens ruled the eastern empirefrom Constantinople, while Gratian, after succeding Valentinian I, used Trieras his base for campaigns against the Alemanni and other Germanic tribes threatening the borders. The cometatensian or court mint was responsible for all gold coinage, thus Trier was the centerfor gold minting in the west. It would appear that at some point in these troubled times an official reverse die fell into the wrong hands, perhaps a Germanic raiding party. A close approximation ofa true obverse diefor Valens was then made to go with it, and used to strike a currencyfor circulation in the borderlands between Roman authority and the Germanic tribes. Ironically, barbarians were responsiblefor the deaths of all the members of the house of Valentinian. Valentinian I died of a stroke incurred during a acrimonious meeting with a Quadi delegation, while his brother Valens perished at the battle ofAdrianopolis against the Visigoths.2516. JUSTINIAN I.
