It has been discussed by scholars about the chronology of this specimen but now it is widely accepted that the staterof Tarentum, with Herakles on obverse and the biga on reverse, was produced during the phase of Pyrrhus’ inter-vention in Magna Graecia. Vlasto placed it in c. 281 BC but the current theory holds that the issue belongs eitherto c. 280 BC, as suggested by Rutter, or to the period c. 276-272 BC, as suggested by Parente and Fischer-Bossert.

Kaulonia was one of the few poleis that held the same types unchanged over time, except for some small stylisticchanges. A major transformation occurred at the transition from the incuse coinage that double relief, around 470BC when the stag, a symbol secondary place on obverse, appeared o reverse, and it remaining so until the end ofcoin production.

Kroton was one of the richest and powerful poleis of Southern Italy. During the VI century it joined with Sybarisand Metapontion in destroying Siris. After this victory, Kroton assumed more power and it destroyed Sybaris in510 BC. Kroton became the leader among the Achaean colonies and the polis produced coins with the others citiesas Temesa and Hipponion.

Very rare, cabinet tone, very fine.

The production of coins of Kroton is very complex and still under study. Within the general development there aretwo or three parallel sequences, each based on different reverse type. The different reverse types might indicate dif-ferent mints within the territory of Kroton: the commonest, the tripod, is for Kroton, the Corinthian helmet forTemesa and the eagle for Hipponion. The reason of these sequences is still uncertain and maybe they were made fora military alliance (symmachia) between the Achean cities.

This coin represents one example of the age of prosperity and power of Terina, and it is directly influenced by theworks on the coinage of both Olympia and Syracuse. The head on obverse is evidently inspired by Euainetos, whilethe reverse is a direct evolution of the die dated c. 410-405 BC. That die had been undoubtedly inspired by the coi-nage of Elis for the 87th Olympiad in 432 BC, which in its turn was a celebration of the masterful Nike balustra-de in the Temple of Athena Nike on the Athenian Acropolis.

Fine dark patina, as struck, sharp Extremely Fine with superb pronounce detail. A numismatic gem.

The reverse of this coin depicts a circus scene where a bestiarius (circus animal fighter) wearing a Phrygian hat andpropping up a roller or protection gadget against an attacking panther. Another example of this device can be seenon the circus relief from Sofia.

The numismatic term contorniate derives from the Italian contorno, ‘surround’, and was invented to describe a classof coin-like medallions with an average diameter of about 40mm, usually struck in orichalcum with their rims sur-rounded by a solco di contorno ‘surrounding furrow’. This, similar to earlier hammered up coins, gave them a rimfor easy finger pick-up and may indicate that they were intended to be calculi (counters) for board games or souve-nirs of a pagan nature. They were private productions of the late 4th and early 5th centuries, often cast and inlayedwith symbols, and depict popular emperors from Augustus to Anthemius, historical and mythical events, poets, phi-losophers and many sports themes connected to the circus and amphitheatre, especially victorious horses and aurigae.

Vanished Arablegend. Spahr pag. 123; Grierson-Travaini pag. 328Extremely rare, about extremely fine.

This is a very special coin of emergency, known in small numbers, the countermark is struck on a Dinar of “Abu AmrUthman” who ruled from 1435 to 1488. In 1489, there was a terrible famine in North Africa, now Tunisia, at the timeruled by the dynasty Hafsid, and so it became necessary to buy a huge amount of grain from Sicily (7,650,000 kg). In thatyear, for a fortunate coincidence, the production in Sicily had been exceptional and this acquisition was paid in gold dinars.The massive influx of foreign gold in such a short time would not allow the restruck, therefore the Sacred Royal Councilof Sicily, on 24 September 1489, legalized the countermarked dinars, to guarantee its weight and quality, and value of14.5 tari. The 19 January 1490 the council decreed the minting of a new coin, the Trionfo, which was minted on 19 March1490. So the countermarked dinars were withdrawn to produce the new coin. This explains the small number and rarityof the few known specimens, survived the merger and the minting. (Cfr. Spahr, p. 123, Grierson-Travaini p. 328).

The Normans (1059-1194)

The domination of the Normans in southern Italy and Sicily is one ofthe most romantic episodes in medieval history. Originally calledNormanni or Northmen, a medieval term to denote the fierce Norse seafar-ers who with their long ships pillaged, traded and occupied many coastalareas of Europe from the late 8th to late 11th centuries. They were alsocalled Vikings, from the Old Norse víkingr, vík “inlet”, “cove”, “fjord”, fromwhence they came in Scandinavia.

In about AD 820 Danish Norsemen started raiding the French coast andsailing up the Seine and other rivers to plunder the countryside. The raidsended in 911 when King Charles the Simple made a treaty with the Vikingchief Rollo which ceded him and his followers a large tract of land aroundRouen, soon to become the duchy of Normandy, in exchange for theNorman’s protection of France from other raiders and their conversion toChristianity. Rollo and his descendants, who became dukes of Normandy,gained considerable wealth from trade, rents and raids on other regions. By thereign of Duke Richard II (996-1026) a high degree of assimilation had evolvedand the Normans had stopped speaking their original Scandinavian languagein favour of the vernacular spoken by French inhabitants of the region.

In 1016, Norman adventurers sailed into the Mediterranean Sea and landed in the Byzantine catapanate of Italyin order to visit the shrine of St Michael at Monte Gargano. While there they met with a Lombard nobleman fromBari, Melo, and entered his service and that of other local nobles, in their rebellion against Byzantine rule.Between1020s and 1050s more land-hungry Normans arrived and took land for themselves from the Greek overlords.The numerous sons of Tancred de Hauteville spearheaded the Norman advance into southern Italy, one of them,William Iron Arm, became lord of Apulia in 1043. He was succeeded by his brothers Drogo and Humphrey, whodefeated forces sent by Pope Leo IX in an attempt to enforce papal rights in southern Italy. In 1059 Pope Nicholas IIgranted Humphrey’s brother and successor, Robert Guiscard, the duchies of Apulia and Calabria. Now that Robertand his brother Roger controlled most of southern Italy, they began to turn their attention to prosperous Sicily. DukeRoger I led the invasion of Sicily at Messina in 1060 which ended with the fall of Palermo in 1071 and Malta in 1091.Roger I died in 1101 and his widow, Adelaide del Vasto, a north Italian, established the court in Palermo where sheacted as regent to her son, Roger II. In 1127 Roger II also succeeded to the duchy of Apulia and in 1130 he wascrowned by Pope Anacletus II as king of the Kingdom of Sicily, which included most of southern Italy. Unlike theArabs the Normans did not conquer Sicily to colonise it, but remained a minority ruling elite over a kingdom whichbecame the meeting place of Latin, Greek and Arabic civilisation centred at the splendid court of Palermo.

Roger II died in 1154 and was succeeded by his son, William I, who was not a strong ruler and power strugglesensued. When he died in 1166 his queen Margaret of Navarre was left as regent to their young son William II. Tocontrol the restive barons, the queen brought in French and Spanish kinsmen to administer the kingdom and whenWilliam II came of age in 1172 he made some effort to strengthen the central administration, but died without anheir in 1189. Here began the problem of his successors: Tancred, illegitimate son of Roger III of Apulia, was crownedking of Sicily in 1189 and remained in power until 1194 until he was succeeded by his second son William III, whoreigned briefly for ten months when he was overthrown by his great-aunt Constance and her husband the HolyRoman Emperor Henry VI of the Hohenstaufen dynasty.å

House of Hohenstaufen (1194-1268)

The Hohenstaufen dynasty, also called Staufen, was the dynasty that ruled the Holy RomanEmpire from 1138 to 1208 and from 1212 to 1254. The founder of the line was the countFrederick, who built Staufen Castle in the Swabian Jura Mountains and was rewarded for hisfidelity to Emperor Henry IV by being appointed duke of Swabia as Frederick in 1079. He latermarried Henry’s daughter Agnes. His two sons, Frederick II, duke of Swabia, and Conrad, werethe heirs of their uncle, Emperor Henry V, who died childless in 1125. After the interim reign ofthe Saxon Lothar III, Conrad became the German king and the Holy Roman emperor as ConradIII in 1138. Subsequent Hohenstaufen rulers were Frederick I Barbarossa (Holy Roman emper-or 1155–90), Henry VI (Holy Roman emperor 1191–97). After his coronation in Rome in1191, Henry VI was determined to conquer the kingdom of Sicilian and proceeded to besiegeNaples. He entered Palermo on November 1194 and was crowned king of Sicily on December25. In 1197, while Henry was in southern Italy preparing a crusade, a rebellion against his rulebroke out in the Sicilian kingdom, which was put down with savage cruelty. In the same yearHenry died of malaria at Messina and was succeeded by his son Frederick II. Frederick II was bornat Jesi, Ancona in 1194 and was to become one of the most enlightened and respected monarchsof the twelfth-century, nicked named stupor mundi (‘wonder of the world’). Frederick was only four years old when his moth-er Constance, the posthumous daughter of Roger II, died in 1198. Though she had appointed Pope Innocent III as the boy’sguardian and regent, a succession of German barons, who had been fiefs in Sicily under Henry, occupied Palermo and keptFrederick there. Frederick finally took over government in 1208, but preferred to live in southern Italy. During the early yearsof Frederick’s minority there was a chaotic struggle for the control of the German kingdom, where Otto of Brunswick tookthe crown, and Sicily, where forces loyal to the regency conquered Palermo in 1206. Frederick entered his majority at the ageof 14 in 1208, but his reign was not truly secured until Pope Innocent III arranged his marriage in 1209 to Constance ofAragon, who brought with her much needed military and financial resources. In 1210 Frederick’s position was again threat-ened when Otto invaded Italy, only to be excommunicated by the pope and deposed by the council of German princes infavour of Frederick in 1212. In 1220 Frederick was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Honorius II in Rome and prom-ised he would soon lead a crusade to the Holy Land. From 1220-25 he set out to consolidate his hold on Sicily. Despite hispromises to set out to the Holy Land, he only began his preparations in 1227. Irritated by constant delays, Pope Gregory IXfinally excommunicated him, but Frederick did eventually departed for the East and was able to secure Jerusalem, Bethlehemand Nazareth and crown himself king of Jerusalem. On his triumphal return to Italy, the ban was lifted according to Treatyof S. Germano in 1230. In 1231 Frederick promulgated a new constitution, the Liber Augustalis, meanwhile he also putdown rebellions in Germany and a campaign against the Lombards in Italy. His final break with the Pope came in 1239 whenFrederick was again excommunicated. His struggles were still in progress when he died in 1250. On Frederick’s death, thestructure he had put in place fell apart, beginning a period of steady decline and civil war. The will of Frederick II named hisson Conrad I as his heir to the Kingdom of Sicily and his other son Manfred was nominated to be vicar. The first died in the1254 and after the interlude of Conradin (Conrad II, 1254-8), Manfred, following his first attempt to reach an agreementwith the Pope, usurped the Kingdom of Sicily in 1258 with the backing of local barons, for which he was immediately excom-municated because the Papacy considered the kingdom as its own feud. In his desire to detach Sicily from the Holy RomanEmpire Pope Innocent IV had offered Charles I of Anjou the crown to the Kingdom of Sicily and Apulia as early as 1252.

The Anjou (1266-1282)Charles of Anjou and founder of the Angevin dynasty in Naples, was the

youngest son of Louis VIII and brother of King Louis IX of France. He tookpart in Louis IX’s crusades to Egypt in 1248 and Tunisia in 1270. Afterobtaining Provence by marriage in1246, which extended his influence intoPiedmont. He became senator of Rome (1263, 1265–78) and undertook tochampion the papal cause against Manfred, the Hohenstaufen who hadusurped the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily in 1258. In reward, he wascrowned king of Naples and Sicily in 1266 by Pope Clement IV, which he hadalready received as a papal grant in 1262. Charles defeated and killedManfred at the Battle of Benevento in 1266 and then defeated and executedthe last of the Hohenstaufen line, Conradin, later that year. As leader of theGuelphs, or papal faction, he gained political hegemony in Italy and wonsuzerainty over several cities in Tuscany, Piedmont, and Lombardy, but his overbearing policies led to a cooling ofhis relations with the papacy. Planning to establish his own empire, he allied himself with the deposed Latin ruler ofConstantinople, Baldwin II, against Greek Michael VIII and fought for years in the Balkans. Corfu, Epirus, andAlbania were taken. The crushing taxes necessitated by his wars and his appointment of oppressive French officialsto exact them led to the Sicilian Vespers in 1282. The ensuing war against the Sicilian rebels and Peter III of Aragón,chosen by the rebels as king of Sicily, continued after his death in Foggia in 1285 under Charles’s son and successor,Charles II, then a prisoner in Catalonia, so the regency passed to his French cousin Robert II of Artois, son of theyounger brother of St Loius.

The so-called “horses” are coins of great rarity and charm both to the scene that appears on obverse where the kingcomes out against an invisible enemy, the type adopted by other mints in France and Italy, both for the artisticvalue as it is supposed the engraver, probably of French origin, it was inspired by manuscripts and seals. Moreover,the political message by the king is evident: Charles using this image, wanted to celebrate the victory over the Svevior his participation in the Seventh Crusade.
