N. Holt and R. LyallThe City of Bristol was taken by the Royalist forces on 26th July1643. The King had already established a Mint at hisheadquarters in Oxford in January 1642/3 under the jointwarden ship of Sir William Parkhurst and Thomas Bushell.In August/September 1643 Thomas Bushell was ordered toestablish a branch mint at Bristol. This is well documented invarious publications 1 and outlining the history of the mint is notthe purpose of this article.Out of necessity, the first coins to be struck at Bristol werehalfcrowns and shillings. There has been debate about theidentification of the first products to be struck at the new mint.Bushell undoubtedly took dies with him from Oxford to enablehim to start striking coins as soon as the mint was established inBristol Castle.Lieut.-Colonel H.W. Morrieson F.S.A. carried out a detailedanalysis in 1929 of the die types in his BNJ (xviii) paper “Thecoinage of Bristol 1643-1645” Further dies and die combinationshave subsequently come to light.HalfcrownsMorrieson attributed his Oxford 1643 Obverses A and F to theBristol Mint (Obverses A & B of 1643) as these two obverses werecombined with reverses with large crude style plumes (see Fig.1)unlike those found at Oxford 2 .Fig. 1 ReverseFig. 2 ObverseObverse A (see Fig.2) is also found combined with severalOxford reverses. Some of these may have been used at that mintand some taken to Bristol.Morrieson also mentions two reverse dies which he numbers15 and 16 in his Oxford paper. These are particularly crudelyengraved. Morrieson attributed these to Oxford because thelegends commence at 3.o’clock and there are lines in between thedeclaration. Reverse 15 (illustrated by Morrieson in his BNJ (xvi)paper “The coinage of Oxford 1642-1646” Plate IV 49.) has theunusual spelling REL(I)G which is probably a die sinker’s error.The reverse of an A16 halfcrown which is in the collection ofone of the authors (Ex. Adams (Lot 177) Spink Auction 177) isphotographed below (Fig. 3).Fig.3HalfcrownreverseShillingsIn the case of the shillings only one 1643 Oxford obverse die wastaken to Bristol by Bushell. Initially, Morrieson listed this asOxford obverse C but later attributed it to Bristol as obverse A ofthat mint.The die taken to Bristol is distinct in that there is a flaw in thefield above the orb on the king’s crown and another just inside theinner circle by the V in CAROLVS. Again, Morrieson linked this toBristol as the several reverse dies, known at the time of hisoriginal article, used with this obverse were of Bristol type, onehaving the mint mark Br in monogram.In 2002 a coin struck from the obverse die was offered for salewhich was coupled with a true 1643 Oxford reverse (Morrieson,reverse 2). This may have been used at Oxford but it is quiteDECEMBER 2008 295

feasible that both these dies were taken to Bristol to enablestriking of coin to take place without the delay of waiting for newreverse dies of Bristol’s own style to be engraved.Portraits of Greek CoinageR. J. Eaglen25 – ThuriumFig. 4 Shilling obverse Fig. 5 Shilling reverseThere is however another shilling an example of which hasrecently surfaced which was also recorded by Morrieson in anaddenda to the Coinage of Thomas Bushell. The obverse is OxfordC (Bristol A – Fig.4) and this has the same style reverse as the twohalfcrowns (15 & 16) identified above (Fig.5). It is very coarselyengraved and may be the work of a local Bristol blacksmith or aninexperienced mint worker.The spelling REL(I)G in the declaration is similar to reversehalfcrown 15. The legend reads D(I)SSIPENTVR. At first glance itappears the coin has turned in the die in striking. However, oncloser inspection (Fig.6) it can be seen that the engraver hasattempted to insert the date 1643 and then realized that he hasleft insufficient room for the legend to be engraved. The 3 is quiteclear to the left of the left-hand plume running into the XV ofEXVRGAT, the 6 and 4 are just visible underneath the central andleft-hand plumes. The engraver has then inverted the die andstarted work again punching in the plumes over his original work.Fig.6Bristol attributionThese coarsely engraved dies of halfcrowns and shilling wouldnot have been accepted at the king’s mint in Oxford where the diework was generally quite good even if some of the flans wererather irregular.The reverse dies were almost certainly crude copies of theOxford dies taken to Bristol by Bushell. The errors and botchedattempts smack of work produced at speed by inexperienced mintworkers or smiths to satisfy the needs of coinage to pay theRoyalist army.The coins should therefore be attributed to the Bristol mint asthese were struck from the first dies made at that Mint. The coinsare not mentioned separately in North Vol.2 or Spink, Coins ofEngland.Footnotes:1. The Coinage of Oxford 1642-1646, BNJ xvi Lieut.-Colonel H.W.Morrieson F.S.A.

Ex Spink, 2006.The Italian colony of Thurium, facing eastwards on the Gulf ofTarentum 2 , was established between 446 and 443 BC 3 . It washard by the earlier Achaean settlement of Sybaris 4 , destroyed byCroton first in 510 5 and, following rebuilding in 453, again in448 6 . It appears that the name Sybaris was resuscitated in 446,but within three years the new settlers of diverse origin evictedthe Sybarites amongst them for trying to dominate the city’saffairs, and changed the name to Thurium 7 .The debt owed to Athens for championing the secondreincarnation of Sybaris/Thurium is reflected in the obverse of itscoins, portraying the head of Athena 8 . Initially, her crestedhelmet was decorated with an olive wreath 9 , a design widelyadmired and imitated for its elegant simplicity 10 , but from thefourth century the decoration became more intricate, usuallyshowing the figure of Scylla (as in the distater illustrated at figureA) 11 or, more rarely, a hippocamp (as in the sixth of a staterillustrated at figure C) 12 or griffin 13 .x1 x2 x1 x2Obverse (Fig. C) Reverse (Fig. D)0.98g (7mm diameter).Author’s collection.

Jenkins described the butting bull on Thurian reverses as ‘oneof the most impressive animal figures in the whole range of Greekcoinage’ 15 . The image was a linear descendent of the stunningincuse coinage of Sybaris 16 , depicting a bull standing with hishead turned back 17 . The same pose was adopted for the earliestcoins of new Sybaris from 446 18 , being superceded by the buttingbull upon the change of inscription to ΘΟΥΡΙΩΝ, the people ofThurium 19 . The place name Thurium is said to derive from afountain in the vicinity known as Θονριά 20 . The posture of thebull was a canting reference to the place name because theadjective θον´ριος (or θονˆρος) means rushing, impetuous orferocious 21 . Some writers have preferred to describe the animal ascharging, rather than butting, but the position of the rear legssuggests otherwise 22 .When the design of the coinage for the new Republic of Irelandwas being considered by a committee chaired by the poet, W. B.Yeats, inspiration was drawn from the animal portraits on ancientcoins from the Greek colonies in Magna Graecia. For the oneshilling denomination a design derived from the butting bull ofThurium was proposed but rejected in favour of the lessaggressive, and certainly less effective, image of a bull walkingwith lowered head 23 .Bulls, like drones, are useless, apart from their essential role inperpetuating the species 24 . They were nevertheless, as Yeats’committee was overly conscious, synonymous with physicalstrength and fearless aggression. Doubtless this was the messageintended to be conveyed by the Thurians from a place which had,historically, suffered devastating reversals in warfare. Althoughbulls played an intricate role in Greek mythology - as witnessEuropa 25 and the Minotaur 26 - they do not appear to have beenused for sacrificial purposes 27 . This may have been because theywere scarce animals in comparison with cows and oxen.Although many of the reverses from Thurium show tuna fishin the exurgue, the coin illustrated at Figure A has a thyrsus, orstaff borne by Dionysus or his followers 28 . A context for thissymbol could be Dionysus’ own identification with a bull 29 . Greekcoinage is full of such tempting associations although it issometimes difficult to be sure to what extent such connectionswere intended by the creators of the designs.Finally, the inscription ΕΥΦΑ is taken to represent amagistrate’s name 30 .Footnotes:1.

It had been discovered by Mr GeorgeStevens a member of the East Devon Metal Detecting Club atAshill in Somerset on land on which he had permission to detect,and was reported to the local Finds Liaison Officer, Dr NaomiPayne. The lead sheet is 76mm x 68mm x 5mm thick and weighs215.45g (see figure 1). The piece has since been donated by MrStevens to the Somerset County Museum (Accession numberTTNCM 115/2008).Figure 1The coinThe impression on the lead sheet is the reverse of a silver quartd’écu of Henri III, king of France (1574-89). The legend that onecan make out from the object itself is retrograde, faint and in verylow relief but some of the lettering is visible and, if complete,would read +SIT. NOMEN.DOMINI.BENED followed by a datebetween 1578 and 1589 when these coins were struck 1 .PurposeThe exact purpose of this lead sheet is unclear but it is likely theremnant of some form of illicit forging activity.

There are, however, several reasons to suppose thattypes were not changed on a regular schedule. If they had been,their duration would almost certainly have been either two yearsor three years, not 2.6 years, with the change always occurring atthe same time of year, e.g., at Michaelmas. It is interesting tocompare the change of type in the Norman period with thechange of privy mark in the late sixteenth century where we haveextensive documentation. In the forty two year reign of ElizabethI there was a sequence of twenty six different privy-mark periods,indicating that, on average, each privy mark was used for 1.6years. The only instruction to the mint on this matter was that theprivy mark should be changed every three months, but the actualduration of individual privy marks ranges from 5 months to over4 years. Although mint practice was clearly different in Normantimes, the warning is clear - each of the different types in theNorman period is unlikely to have been issued for the same lengthof time.From the hoards discussed in this paper (and the othersmentioned below in parentheses), we can make a limitedstatement about the length of time that certain types were issued:Edward the Confessor pyramids type more than 1.3 years, HaroldII sole type 0.79 years, William I type 5 more than 1.3 years(Scaldwell 5 ), Type 8 more than 1.3 years (Beauworth 6 ,Tamworth), William II type 1 0.93 years, Henry I type 14 morethan 1.3 years (Bournemouth 7 ). The challenge now is to fill outthe lengths of the other periods.Footnotes:1. R.J.Eaglen. ‘How Rare is the Pyramids Type of Edward the Confessor?’NCirc 109 (2001) 309-10.2.

Itwas found in 1997 during the Austrian excavations in theTetragonas Agora, directed by Peter Scherrer of the AustrianInstitute of Archaeology, at the ancient site of Ephesus in presentdayTurkey 1 . More specifically, the coin was found in what theexcavator has labelled Chamber J of this building. The descriptionof the coin is as follows:Æ, 1,61g, 11h, 16mmObv: D N THEODOS-IVS P F AVG, draped and cuirassed bustwearing pearl diadem to the rightRev: SALVS REI PVBLICAE, emperor enthroned fronting,wearing trabea consularis, holding mappa and cross sceptre,star in left field; in exergue, CONSTo the best of my knowledge, this is only the second specimenof this type which has been recorded. The first from the BritishMuseum was catalogued as an issue of Theodosius II (408-450)in RIC X by Kent, even if on that coin the obverse legend was not(Scale 1:1)(Scale 2:1)safely legible; Kent therefore proposed as an alternative candidatealso Marcian (450-457) 2 . On the present specimen, especially thefirst part of the imperial name to the left of the bust can be readwith absolute certainty. What remains to be done is to fit it intothe system of coinage under Theodosius II. Kent has argued onstylistic as well as on metrological grounds that it belongs to hislater years. Both arguments fail to convince. If the coins were halfcentenionales, as Kent suggests, their ideal weight should beabout 1,1g. In fact, the BM coin weighs 1,15g, the one fromEphesus 1,61g. The latter is too heavy for a half centenionalis; thecoins therefore have to be centenionales the ideal weight of whichwas ca. 2,2g. 3 This denomination ceased to be struck in 425 4 . It iscommon that the actual coins are somewhat underweight,especially since the specimen from Ephesus has slightly brokenedges. As for the style, to my eye very similar depictions can befound already in the earlier period of Theodosius’ reign, thereforestyle is no definitive chronological argument for a late dating.Assuming that our coin in fact is a centenionalis, then we arriveat a fairly reliable terminus ante quem of 425. The star in the leftreverse field is another important clue: It occurs on Theodosius’copper coinage only within a series of relatively scarce coinswhich have been dated to the period 423 to 425 when in theWestern half of the empire John was ruling, who was notacknowledged by Theodosius II 5 . The mint abbreviation CONShints at the same time span: Early in Theodosius’ reign, still thetraditional officina letter was included. The mint signature ofConstantinople was changed from CONS to CON shortly after thebeginning of the joint reign of Theodosius II with Valentinian III(425-455) 6 . But the reverse type of the coin discussed hereenables us to date it even more precisely. There can be no doubtthat the depiction of the enthroned emperor with mappa alludes toan imperial consulship. We therefore have to go through the longlist of Theodosius’ consulships – 18 in all. The only possiblecandidate is his 11th consulate which he held in 425. Hiscolleague was Valentinian III, then still Caesar. The fact that hehad not yet been declared emperor offers a good explanation forhis absence from the reverse of these bronze coins. However, thereexist also solidi from the joint reign which depict only one ratherthan two emperors on the reverse side 7 . In addition, there exists atype of an exagium solidi which depicts the busts of two emperors– without doubt, Theodosius II and Valentinian III – while on thereverse one emperor is depicted in almost exactly the same way ason Theodosius’ centenionales of the type GLOR ORVISTERRARVM 8 . Since the earliest coin from the samestratigraphical context in the Tetragonas Agora as our coin is aGreek coin, while the latest was issued by the Byzantine EmperorJustinian I. (527-565), stratigraphy offers no further informationfor dating. But I feel confident that numismatic methods enable usto find the correct place of the type discussed here in themonetary system of Theodosius II: It was struck in the beginningof 425 to celebrate the emperor’s 11th consulship. Interestinglyenough, if we leave aside the contorniates, this is the only copperDECEMBER 2008 299

issue of the 5th century which directly attests an imperialconsulship. The rarity of our coin is well in accord with otherissues from the period 423 to 425 since another centenionalistype from the same period was first published only in 1980 9 .Perhaps further types from this period might emerge in the future.* My best thanks go to Peter Scherrer for his permission topublish the coin and to Wolfgang Hahn for helpful discussion.Footnotes:1.

ESCeven notes ‘contemporary forgeries’, which are of interest in theirown right.ESC510 (2nd shield, caul frosted + pearls) has proved to be aninteresting study as varieties with, and without, a stop after thedate have been noted.3. In (i), all the English lions have only one front leg, in (ii) theyhave two.4. The harp has 6 strings in (i) and 8 strings in (ii)5. There are minor differences to the Scottish lion.Since starting this study, a third variety has been identified thatcombines the stop after the date (i) with the crown and shield (ii)Numbering these varieties in relation to ESC is difficult as510A first appeared in the 2nd revised edition of 1957 and 510Bin the 4th revised edition of 1974, to denote other combinationsof frosting and pearls on 2nd shield coins. These should perhapsbe referred to as 510(i), (ii) and (iii). Rarities of each are hard toassess as there are very few examples in the market and it isdifficult to tell from a picture or scan whether a coin is 509 or510.All of my 1st shield examples have stops after the date, as do allmy other 2nd shield specimens, which have type (ii) crowns andshields except two examples of 509B, which have type (i). Tocomplicate it further, another 509B has a type (ii) crown andshield.It is possible that 510B, noted for inclusion in the 1974edition, could have been a 509 with very weak interior frosting. Ihave not seen a specimen of 510B for sale in the last eight years.A recent coin auctioned as 510B was, in fact, 509.ESC513 and 514 of 1690 have no stop, ESC515 has a stop. Myspecimens of 513 and 515 have the 2nd L of GVLIELMVS overanother L with a distinctly curved bottom. All three have a thirdvariety of shield with very large fleur-de-lis, 513 and 514 have 5harp strings whilst 515 has 6.(i) with stop(ii) without stopFurther investigation reveals many differences in the crown andshield as listed below:1. There is a distinct line at the top of the frosting on both sidesof the caul in (i). In (ii) this line is missing and the frostingextends further up the caul, nearly reaching the top of thecrown.2. In (i), the 3 fleur-de-lis in the top left and bottom right quartersof the shield are short and fat, whereas in (ii) they are tall andthin.It now remains to be seen if anybody has the 510 combination ofno stop (ii) with the crown and shield of (i) to make ESC510(iv).300 NUMISMATIC CIRCULAR

Deultum.By Dimitar Draganov, Ruse (Bobokov Bros. Foundation), 2005.Pp. 303, 2010 coins illustrated on 134 plates.ISBN 954-9460-01-0 (vol. 1). £75.00This is the first in a projectedseries of SNG volumes that aimsat a comprehensive listing ofcoins of Thrace and MoesiaInferior. It covers the coinage ofa single mint, the colonia ofDeultum, and according to itsauthor, Dimitar Draganov,‘represents the most completecollection of coins of this city inthe world’. The collection wasformed by two brothers, Plamenand Atanas Bobokov, who ownan oil company and presumablyhave plenty of money to investin their project. They intend toamass the largest and mostcomplete body of material forthis region and, since the projectstill continues, it was decided to publish Deultum first becausethat mint was the most comprehensively covered. One hopes thatthe brothers Bobokov will maintain their interest so that theprocesses of both collecting and publishing will continue; it is alltoo easy for grandly-conceived projects like this to lose traction astime passes and their owners’ enthusiasms wane.This is not the first time an SNG volume has been consecratedto the coins of a single mint; one thinks of the SNG Slovenia,Ljubljana, Narodni Muzej for Viminacium (although one hopesthat further volumes of the Bobokov collection will appear morepromptly). Nor is it the first detailed listing of coins of Deultum.The city’s coinage has been the subject of an earlier monographby Jordanka Jurukova, Die Münzprägung von Deultum (Berlin,1973). Indeed, since the publication of this first Bulgarian SNG,Draganov himself has produced a monograph, The Coinage ofDeultum (Sofia, 2007). With the latter publication appearing sosoon after the volume reviewed here, one wonders to what extentthe material presented in the Bobokov brothers’ collection isrendered redundant for anyone who owns a copy. For those whodo not, however, this publication provides a wealth of illustrativedetail.Deultum was a fairly prolific mint, but its issues are restrictedto the reigns of Trajan (AD 98-117), Caracalla (211-217),Macrinus (217-218), Severus Alexander (222-235), Maximinus(235-238), Gordian III (238-244) and Philip (244-249). Thebulk of the coins in the Bobokov brothers’ collection are fromSeverus Alexander onwards, where coverage appears to be verycomprehensive: many coins presented are die duplicates. Thecoverage for Caracalla and Macrinus seems to be slightly lesscomprehensive, but it is nonetheless an impressive array ofmaterial and includes many types not in Jurokova. If anyoneshould care to work on Deultum after Draganov, this book willundoubtedly constitute a major resource.Many of the coin types can be paralleled on other Balkan issuesof the period, and one wonders what particular relevance theyhad for Deultum. Draganov does not provide any comments onany of them, presumably because these are reserved for hismonograph. In this respect SNG Bulgaria 1 differs from someother recent SNG publications like SNG Pfalz, where brief butuseful notes on types are sometimes provided, particularly in thevolumes compiled by Johannes Nollé. Most of the coins ofDeultum depict deities, which are given both their Roman andGreek names in the catalogue (Diana/Artemis, Aesculapius/Asclepius, Minerva/Athena, Cybele, Ceres/Demeter, Mercury/Hermes, Sarapis, etc.), and personifications (Aequitas/Dikaiosyne, City goddess, Concordia/Homonoia, Salus/Hygieia,Fortuna/Tyche, etc.). There are also typical colonial types such asthe standing Marsyas, the priest ploughing, and the wolf andtwins. A variety of temples are shown, sometimes in threequartersperspective (e.g. nos. 1348-1349). A rare type appearsto show the Capitoline Triad (no. 1626), and another a river godand Thalassa with a ship (nos. 1252-1254). Another unusualtype, showing Perseus and Andromeda with the sea monster,occurs frequently. Only two denominations were produced, andthe most intriguing type of all occurs only on the smaller: anonion-shaped object, usually shown standing on a small base.This Draganov describes as a fountain of Meta Sudans type;Jurokova describes it as a hive. On many of the coins this baseappears rounded while on others (e.g. no. 1918, which appearson the front cover of the volume) it is decorated with what lookslike a small, pedimented aedicula. One is reminded of cult imageswhich are sometimes shown with a small representation of theirtemple at the base, which raises the possibility that this type couldsignify something more than the mere glorification of civicplumbing or beekeeping. Could the similarity of its shape toimages of Telesphorus (who also appears exclusively on thesmaller denomination) be intentional? Without a commentary wedo not know what Draganov thinks.The plates are of high quality, with crisp, clear photographs,which is particularly important because the coins themselves arenot always particularly well-preserved (e.g. nos. 47-49, wherevery little detail can be seen). Diameters, weights and die axes aregiven along with brief descriptions and bibliographies for therelevant types, but die identities are not noted. Nor are anyprovenances given. One assumes they were all found in Bulgariabut not even that assumption is assured; all that we are told is thatthe material was collected over many years (though thephotograph of the brothers accompanying the preface of thebook suggest it cannot be that many years, unless the picture itselfis old) and that most of it comes from southern Bulgaria. Still, inpresenting us with unprovenanced material SNG Bulgaria 1 is nodifferent from most other SNG volumes.In recent years there has been a flurry of publications fromBulgaria dealing with the coinage of this region, as well as anoutpouring of the coinages themselves into western Europeanand American coin markets. One result of this is that there arenow a number of collectors who specialise in Balkan mints, forwhom this volume will be useful. In recent years, too, there hasbeen an outpouring of SNG volumes, some of variable quality.This, however, is a well-produced volume. Researchers will nodoubt find in it much useful data and illustrative material. It willbe attractive to collectors, although the price may well put it outof reach of all but the wealthiest and most earnest. Indeed, if therest of the collection maintains the same level of detail asDeultum then acquiring the entire series of Bobokov brothersvolumes will be a costly enterprise. All the same, it will beinteresting to see how the project develops. Each volume promisesto be a major reference work for the Balkan mints. We lookforward to future volumes.KEVIN BUTCHERDECEMBER 2008 301

Cloth, almost new. £50Calouste Gulbenkian was an extraordinary collector, who, from an early age he is said to have collectedcoins. His principles of collecting were stated in a letter to E.S.G. Robinson, who advised him on many ofhis purchases: ‘My aim is to make a very fine collection of Greek coins, purely from an artistic point ofview. In this respect, I want to confine myself to such specimens as are of the finest preservation andmost remarkable beauty. I do not want rarities if they are not splendidly preserved and artistic.’ Theexceptional collection which he assembled during his life is today housed in the Calouste Gulbenkianmuseum in Lisbon and is virtually beyond compare. He was able to purchase many of the finest piecesfrom the famous auctions of the 1930’s and 40’s as well as significant private purchases from the Vlastoand Jameson collections.In the same way as he collected, he had planned a catalogue that would be different from others: ‘I wanta monumental catalogue and not the usual dry book of descriptions. In my catalogue, I would like achapter of about fifty pages, giving a survey of the History of Ancient Greece by a very prominent Greekhistorian’ This volume contains 329 coins of Italy, Sicily and Carthage described in elaborate detail andsuperbly illustrated on the 42 plates.26 –– — Part II.

The text consists of a short introduction, the catalogue, indices, a bibliography,and a note by J.M. Peixoto Cabral on the specific gravity of 52 electrum staters of Cyzicus. The majordifference from other catalogues is the division of coins into those of the Archaic-Classical and theHellenistic period, with Alexander’s death as the beginning of the later period.27 HAHN, W.
