In 1622 werd Bergen op Zoom belegerd door de Spaanse veldheer Ambrosius Spinola (1569-1630). Hij was van oorsprong een rijke bankier uit Genua, die ook de financiën voor de koning van Spanje regelde. In 1602 leidde hij samen met zijn broer Frederik Spinola een groot leger, die orde op zaken moest stellen in de Nederlanden. Philips II stelde dat Ambrosius stadhouder van Friesland kon worden, hetgeen uiteindelijk nooit gebeurde. In de opvolgende decennia belegerde Ambrosius Spinola vele steden, zoals Oostende, Goor, Oldenzaal, Groenlo, Rijnberk, Lingen, Gulik, Breda en Goes. Ook Bergen op Zoom werd op 18 juli 1622 door hem tevergeefs belegerd. De stad kon stand houden doordat het bevoorraad kon worden vanuit de zee aan de westkant. Een jonge Michiel de Ruyter deed begin september per schip Bergen op Zoom aan, en nam het kamp van Spinola als kanonnier vuur. Door de verdediging vanuit de stad en beschietingen uit zee verloor Spinola veel manschappen. Op 2 oktober arriveerde Maurits van Oranje en werd de stad ontzet. Na meer dan 25 jaar strijd in de Nederlanden reist hij in 1628 naar Madrid om aldaar vrede met de Noordelijke Nederlanden te bepleiten. Zijn voornemen om als rijk man uit de Nederlanden terug te keren was jammerlijk mislukt, integendeel, hij had veel vermogen verloren. De koning van Spanje en diens militaire adviseurs wilden echter niets van vrede met de Noordelijke Nederlanden weten, en Spinola keerde terug naar Italië alwaar hij op 25 september 1630 stief. Daarmee stierf een groot veldheer, die voor Maurits van Oranje-Nassau een geduchte tegenstander was.

KINGDOM OF PARTHIA - PHRAATES IV, 38-2 BC - AR Drachm, Ekbatana (Hamedan, Iran)
weight 3,36gr. silver Ø 18mm.

Phraates IV (son of Orodes II), ruled the Parthian Empire from 37–2 BC. He was appointed successor to the throne in 37 BC, after the death of his brother Pacorus I. He soon murdered his father and all his thirty brothers. Phraates was attacked in 36 BC by the Roman general Mark Antony, who marched through Armenia into Media Atropatene, and was defeated and lost the greater part of his army. Antony, believing himself betrayed by Artavasdes, king of Armenia, invaded his kingdom in 34 BC, took him prisoner, and concluded a treaty with another Artavasdes, king of Media Atropatene. But when the war with Octavian broke out, Antony could not maintain his conquests; Phraates recovered Media Atropatene and drove Artaxias, the son of Artavasdes, back into Armenia. But by his many cruelties Phraates had roused the indignation of his subjects, who raised Tiridates II to the throne in 32 BC. Phraates was restored by the Scythians, and Tiridates fled into Syria.
The Romans hoped that Augustus would avenge the defeat of the Roman general Marcus Licinius Crassus on the Parthians, but in 20 BC he contented himself with a treaty, by which Phraates gave back the prisoners from the recent fighting and the captured battle standards from the Battle of Carrhae; the kingdom of Armenia also was recognized as a Roman dependency. Soon afterwards Phraates, whose greatest enemies were his own family, sent five of his sons as hostages to Augustus, thus acknowledging his dependence on Rome (the hostages included Tiridates III, whom the Romans later tried to install as a vassal king in AD 35). This plan he adopted on the advice of an Italian woman, a gift of Caesar, "Thea Musa" whom he made his favored wife; her son Phraates V, commonly called Phraataces (a diminutive form), he appointed successor. About 2 BC he was murdered by Musa and her son.

KINGDOM OF MACEDONIA - ANTIGONOS MONOPTHALMUS, CIRCA 306-301 BC - AR Tetradrachm, Antigoneia ad Orontem, circa 306-301 BC
weight 16,69gr. ; silver Ø 27mm.

Antigonos Monopthalmus was born in 382 B.C. in Elimeis in Macedonia as member of a noble family. He became general and servered under Alexander the Great. When Alexander died in 336 B.C, Antigonos was satrap over a large area in Asia Minor; Lycia, Pamphylia, Phrygia, Pisidia and Paphlagonia. In 305 B.C. he and his son Demetrios Poliorketes proclaimed themselves as the new kings of the Macedonian Empire.
Before the decisive Battle of Ipsos in 301 B.C, which gave Seleukos dominion of Syria, Demetrios Poliorketes also tried to conquer this country at the expense of his rival Seleukos. In 307 B.C. Antigonos Monopthalmus, the father of Demetrios Poliorketes, was busy at a certain spot in the rich Orontes valley, founding and building what he intended should become the capital of his empire, Antigoneia ad Orontem. Here, as soon as possible, a mint was put into operation. In the years 306-301 B.C. a small serie of tetradrachms , only five different types, were struck in this mint. All of the well-known Alexandertype. In 301 B.C. Antigonos was killed in the battle of Ipsos. His city was abandoned., but already in 300 B.C. it was Seleukos I who took possession of the city and renamed in in Antiocheia, in honor to his father Antiochos. This city soon became the most important city in Syria and in the 2nd century B.C. it became the capital of the Seleukid Empre. Nowadays we know it as Antakya, an important city in south-east Turkey, near the border of Syria. Very rare and interesting coin.
