LAKONIA, SPARTA (LAKEDAIMON) - ROMAN CIVIL WAR - AE Sestertius, circa 35-31 BC
weight 26,91gr. ; bronze Ø 31mm.
obv. Jugate heads of the Dioscuri to right, both wearing laureate pilei
rev. ΛA within laurel-wreath.
Minted during the period of war and disturbance following the murder of Caesar. First the war between Antony and Octavian against Brutus and then, ultimately, between Antony and Octavian themselves. The coinage of this issue begins in the early 40s using purely Greek denominations, the chalkous, the dichalkon, the trichalkon, the tetrachalkon and the hexachalkon and continues until circa 35 B.C. Then the three lower denominations drop out and Roman denominations appear. The tetrachalkon continues as a semis, the hexachalkon as an as, and new larger coins, dupondii and sestertii are introduced; this series ends circa 31 B.C., when coins began to bu struck in the name of C. Julius Eurycles. Only a few pieces recorded worldwide. Extremely rare.

CLAUDIUS, 41-54 - AR Cistophoric tetradrachm, Ephesos (41-42 AD)
weight 10,61gr. ; silver Ø 26mm.
The cistophor had the value of 3 denarii.
obv. Bare head of Claudius left TI CLAVD CAES AVG
rev. Frontal view of tetrastyle temple of Artemis (Diana) at Ephesos,
her cult statue within with fillets hanging from her wrists, polos on her head;
the temple stands on a podium of four steps and has a pediment decorated
with figures, DIAN on left side, EPHE on right side
The cistophoros would be minted under Claudius for the first time since the great coinage of this denomination by Augustus. The Claudian mintages were nowhere near as extensive and the pieces that are seen usually show significant wear indicating that they circulated heavily. RIC indicates these issues may all be commemorative in nature and were not intended to be a regular coinage for the area. Of the cistophoros issues of Claudius there are four main types; those including Agrippina (his wife); the issues dedicated to Artemis (Diana) and het temple, as here; the issues with ROM ET AVG temple reverses; and, late in his reign the issues identifying Nero as his successor.
Artemis herself was the Goddess of the hunt but here probably refers to her role as Goddess of childbirth. RIC dates this coin likely to 41-42 AD based on the absence of titles in the legend and the fact the head is not laureate. Yet the ROM ET AVG issues of Pergamon are undated by RIC, however these two types share an almost identical obverse design.
