Estimated Value $1,000 - UP From its foundation, Syracuse seems to have been ruled by an aristocratic oligarchy dominated by a group known as the Gamoroi. In the seventh and sixth centuries BC its power was challenged by rival aristocratic factions and would-be tyrants, but the Gamoroi always weathered the storms. The situation changed in 486 BC, when the Gamoroi were expelled from Syracuse in a democratic revolution and driven into exile. Unwilling to accept defeat, the Gamoroi invited Gelon I, the tyrant of Gela, to restore them to power. When faced with the might of the Geloan army, the democratic leaders wisely surrendered the city, but Gelon I neglected to return the Gamoroi to their former position. Instead, he established himself as the city's new tyrant and thereby founded the Deinomenid dynasty of Syracusan tyrants.The city flourished under Gelon I (ca. 485�478 BC) and his successor, Hieron I (ca. 478�467 BC), who together established Syracusan domination over many of theGreek and native Sikel cities of eastern Sicily, including Gela, Kamarina, Katane, Leontinoi, Megara Hyblaia, and Naxos. Through their victories over their Greek neighbors as well as the Carthaginians and Etruscans, they expanded the population of Syracuse and adorned it with opulent splendor. Nevertheless, increasing general discontent with the rule of tyrants in Sicily together with the weak character of Thrasyboulos, Heiron�s successor, led to the overthrow of the Deinomenids in ca. 465 BC.

Lot 2010		Sicily, Syracuse. Dionysios I. Silver Decadrachm, 405-367 BC. Ca. 405-400 BC. Reverse die signed by the master engraver Euainetos.

Probably cleaned long ago, a thin layer of horned silver (silver oxide) has been expertly removed, showing the details of Arethusa's hairline engraved by the master Euainetos, now a pleasing light grey. About Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $15,000 - UP Amongst the most famous of all ancient Greek coins, the decadrachms of Syracuse were struck to finance the military ambitions of the tyrant, Dionysios I, who made Syracuse the most powerful of the western Greek city-states. The master artists Kimon and Euainetos worked at the mint, and both sometimes signed their dies. However, the styles are sufficiently distinct that even on unsigned dies the hand of the engraver can easily be determined. Euainetos's coins were especially regarded in ancient times even as they are today, and served as inspiration for the coinage of a number of other cities throughout the Greek world.

Reverse: AK-ANΘ-IO-N within square border surrounding quadripartite incuse square. Desneux 97 (D94/R87); AMNG III/2, 21; HGC 3, 385. Fantastic style and beautiful deep grey find toning. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $2,500 - UP This tetradrachm was struck at Akanthos in the decades between the repulse of the Persian invasion of Greece (480-479 BC) and the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC), a period in which the Athenians were very active in establishing influence over the cities of coastal Macedonian and Thrace through membership in the Delian League. Akanthos had become a member of the League by 450 BC, but the city seems to have tired of Athenian domination in the early years of the Peloponnesian War. In 424 BC, the Akanthians secretly voted to secede from the Delean League and supported the Spartan general Brasidas and the Chalkidian League against Athenian interests in Macedonia. The use of the Attic weight standard (ca. 17.2 g) for this coin reflects Athenian influence at the time of its production. After 424 BC, Akanthian coins normally employ a lighter Chalkidian standard (ca. 14.4 g). While not so common on Greek coins, the obverse motif of a lion attacking a bull enjoyed great popularity throughout the ancient Near East and may have been adopted by Akanthos through its exposure to Persian culture. The Akanthians are known to have been on friendly terms with the Persians by 480 BC, when they welcomed Xerxes I and his army. The reverse quadripartite incuse design surrounded by a legend was widely used on contemporary coins struck in Macedonia and Thrace. It occurs on issues of the Macedonian king Alexander I as well as on coins of the Bisaltai and Edones and cities like Abdera and Mende. Ex Tareq Hani Collection.
