Mytilene (AD 139-161) AE 24 - Sextus Nicomachus & Flavia Nicomachis47 viewsSextus Nicomachus and Flavia Nicomachis, ca AD 139-161. AE24 (5.36g, 6h). CEΞCTON HPΩA, draped bust of Sextus right / ΦΛA NEIKO-MACIC MVTIΛH, draped bust of Flavia Nichomachis right. VF, brown surfaces. Very rare.
Mytilene issued a rare series of bronzes honoring several distinguished local citizens. While another shows Julia Procula (see CNG 72, lot 1161), probably the mother of Flavia Nicomachis, this coin depicts Flavia Nicomachis herself, as well as her father Sextus Nicomachus. An inscription from Mytilene, naming both Procula and Nicomachis, lists them as benefactors of the city. Based on the portrait styles of these individuals, this coin is dated to the reign of Antoninus Pius.

Phokaia (BC 625-575) EL Stater6 viewsca 625-575 BC. EL Stater (16.35g). Seal swimming left, octopus clamped in its mouth, three square objects around / Two rough incuse squares set side-by-side, one smaller than the other. Apparently unpublished and unique, but Near VF.
This coin, one of six known staters of Phokaia, represents a new variety of type, in addition to a seal and two griffin head types recorded by Bodenstedt. It is certainly the most playful, with its depiction of a seal munching on a hapless cephalopod.Mar 08, 2010
