Lot # 149 - Sicily. Tauromenion. Mercenaries Campanoi. AE Onkia, c. 354-344 BC. Obv. Campanian helmet right. Rev. Monogram TA or KA within laurel-wreath. HGC 2 1608; CNS III p.327, 2-3 OS; A. Campana, C.N.A.I. II, p.213, (Kampanoi) 3 and note. AE. 1.67 g. 11.5 mm. R. Good VF. The attribution of this series is still controversial. The monogram, read as TA has led many authors to assign it to Tauromenion mint (Minì, Manganaro and others). However the monogram, if rotated 90 °, can be read KA(mpanoi). Very interesting are the observations of A. Campana (CNAI II, p.213) who, assuming that the ambiguity of the monogram is intentional, admits its double reading TA / KA and attributes the issue to a handful of mercenaries from Campania who fought alongside Timoleon, after being expelled from Tauromenion by Andromachus.

Lot # 152 - Sicily. Uncertain mint. Hieron II (274-215 BC) in alliance with Ptolemy II Philadelphos (285-246 BC). AE 26.5 mm. Struck circa 264–263 BC. Obv. Laureate head of Zeus right; dotted border. Rev. ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ. Eagle standing left on thunderbolt; shield to left; dotted border. Svoronos 610; SNG Cop. 114; CPE B288; Wolf & Lorber, ‘Alexandrian’ Style, P01–54. AE. 16.97 g. 25 mm. About VF. The series of Ptolemaic bronze coins that display an obviously “Sicilian” style have long puzzled numismatic scholars and collectors. The latest research, by Daniel Wolf and Catharine Lorber in the 2011 Numismatic Chronicle, indicate these coins were struck in Sicily by Hieron II, in alliance with Ptolemy II Philadelphos of Egypt. Hieron was named Strategos (commanding general) of the Greek armies fighting Carthage in Sicily circa 269 BC. He likely made overtures to Ptolemy II, and the Egyptian king probably responded by sending a Ptolemaic contingent of soldiers, along with a large quantity of bronze to be made into coins to pay the troops. The Syracusan die engravers produced a close approximation to the contemporary bronze issues of Egypt, but with a more “western-looking” head of Zeus and lacking the distinctive beveled edges seen on Alexandrian bronzes. This coinage likely ceased in 264/3 BC, when Hieron proclaimed himself king and became embroiled in a conflict against Rome, another ally of Egypt, which then probably ended fiscal and military support for Syracuse.

This issue has previously been attributed to a Macedonian mint with the portrait identified either as Brutus (Friedlander), Caesar (Grant), or to the governor of Syria, Gaius Sosius (in the trade). RPC presents a case for an origin in northern Turkey, supported by find data, with a suggestion that the portrait is Octavian. Issues of similar portrait style, very likely by the same engraver, include the 'Princeps Felix' coinage from Cilicia (RPC 4082-3).
