Hoeft coll. Lairbenos is a pre-Greek name of Apollo from Asia Minor. Some put it to 'labrys' = double axe, others to Hetitian 'labarnas' = master. But more possibly it is a toponymikon or ethnikon. There are several sanctuaries of Lairbenos in Phrygia with numerous votive inscriptions especially in Dionysopolis and Motela.

Rare, F. Hoeft coll. The depicted chest is the symbol of Kibyra. Because KIBΩTON (Greek for wooden case or chest) was used in the NT for Noah's Ark, it was suggested that Kibyra was the place where Noah landed after the Flood. Therefore it became a famous site of pilgrimage. Kios (AD 209-212) AE 24506 viewsGeta (as Augustus), 209-212 AD. AE24 (7.42g).

DEAE, Mida seated left, in Cybele-form, holding phiale. Good Very Fine. Hoeft coll. Mida, the Greek goddess of oaths, was principally worshipped in Phrygia. She was often equated with the earth and mother goddess Cybele - whose form she takes on this coin. Evidence of her worship, in fact, has caused one of the great archeological misconceptions of the modern era: the discovery of what was believed to be the tomb of King Midas at the site of Midas Sehr in the 19th Century was, in fact something less remarkable: a shrine dedicated to Midas as the equivalent of Cybele.

In Münsterberg, Die Beamtennamen auf griechischen Münzen, a strategos is mentioned under Severus Alexander named Avr. Aristaidos. Perhaps he is the same as named in the legend.

Very rare, F+/-VF. Hoeft coll. ΛAN erroneous for ΛAM, but there are some open questions too: KOI seems to be erroneous for KAI, magistrate AΠOΛΛΩNITOC couldn't be found until now. Priapos was born by Aphrodite in Lampsakos. Therefore Lampsakos was the centre of warshipping of Priapos. Here his depiction was more like Dionysos who was said to be his father. Laodikeia (AD 54-68) AE 20 - Nero563 viewsNero, 54-68 AD. AE20 (5.61g), struck under magistrate Julius Andronicus Euergetes.

Very rare, F+. Hoeft coll. This coin was very difficult to interpret because of the depiction of the male figure, nude, with parazonium, very tall upper part of the body, but it suggests Themistokles. There is another rare type of him sacrificing before an altar, where he is similarily depicted. Themistokles is the famous hero of Salamis who had to flee from Athens after an ostrakismos. His former enemy, the Persian king Artaxerxes I, accommodated him and made him satrap of Lampsakos and Magnesia ad Maeandrum due to his merits at Salamis.

Rare, about VF, two flan cracks. Hoeft coll.; ex Burnstein coll. Hades fell in love with Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, and asked Zeus for permission to marry her. Zeus feared to offend his eldest brother by a downright refusal, but knew also that Demeter would not forgive him if Persephone were committed to the underworld. Zeus "therefore answered politically that he could neither give nor withhold his consent." This emboldened Hades to abduct Persephone, as she was picking flowers in a meadow, and carry her away in his horse-drawn chariot to the underworld.

Sometimes the figure on the cippus is called Ma, which was worshipped in Komana Pontica, where she was brought from Komana in Cappadocia. Sulla brought her to Rome where she was identified with Bellona. But a female deity is never depicted nude and therefore it can't be Ma! 167 coins on 2 page(s) 1 2
