support against the Romans and in 280 he crossed the Adriatic Sea with 25.000 soldiers and landed in Italy. He declared the expedi- tion as "Panhellenic war against the Barbarians". He twice defeated the Roman army ("Pyrrhic victory"). In 278 B. C. the Siceliotes asked his support against GC arthage, ally of Rome, and Pyrrhus took over the Island, acclaimed EN all the Greeks as "king of Sidly" He defeated the Carthaginians and pushed them back to Lilybaeum. He returned to Italy in 276 and, after having been sev etely
defeated by the Romans near Beneventum, returned to E pirus. The expedition of Pyrrhus is largely documented by coinages both in Italy and Sicily.

Strauss collections; and ex Naville SA, Geneva - Ars Classica SA, Geneva sale 16 (1933/Lucerne), 968. - The goat staters with rosettes, the letters AA/AA or the monogram AE were traditionally attributed to the Macedonian city of Aegae, mainly for two reasons: a) the goat as a canting type of the city's name (goat = ai€, pl. aiyec in Greek); b) the monogram AE as abbreviation for Edessa, former name of Aegae. Against some strong arguments ( e.g. aig is the Greek word for the female goat, the Greek word for the male goat being tpayoc, and the goat being primarily a royal type) the attribution of the goat staters to Aegae was maintained. In her article C. C. Lorber shows that the goat staters are linked with the tribal coins of the Bisaltae (common use of AA/AA and AE ) as well as with the coinage of king Alexander I of Macedonia (common use of the goat-type and of the letters AA/AA). She proposes to identify the goat staters as coinage of a tribe with hithero uncertain location, but close to the territory of the Bisaltae. The monogram AE would stand for the initials of the king of the Bisaltae, the letters AA/AA being those of Alexander I. The simultaneous apparition of Alexander's initials on the three series would indicate a tempo- rary recognition of Macedonian suzerainty by the Bisaltae and the "goat tribe", or at least an alliance between the three parties involved. The mutual use of the monogram AE (following the AA/AA series) would indicate an alliance between the Bisaltae and the "goat tribe" based on the mutual recognition of the Bisaltic king.

and were not imported from the Etruscans or Greeks. The original Roman religion personified all events connected with growing, harvesting and processing the products of the field. The Penates were responsible for protecting the larder in the house of ev ay family. There also existed Penates for the whole of Rome. They were kept at the temple of Vesta together with the palladium, the
statue of Athena coming from Troy, and the holy fire. Only once a year, on June 9, the married women in Rome were allowed to se them. They came barefoot on that day to sacrifice fruits and cake.

Paullus owed the battle tried plebeian Servilius Geminus his triumph: When the comitia, where the soldiers had to decide, refused the triumph to the unpopular patrician Paullus, Servilius gave a speech in favour of the commander, showing all his wounds he had obtained from the 23 single combats against the Carthagians. His intercession convinced the solders and Paullus was called imperator and given a triumph. One scene of Servilius's many fights is shown on this reverse. The lituus on the obverse refers to his office as augur.

Fabius Pictor is shown with the apex as he was flamen Dialis, priest of Jupiter. This office included a whole series of taboos. He was not allowed to ride on horseback, nor to stay away one night from Rome. He was forbidden to touch goats, ivy and raw meat. Also he never should see an army. In Rome it was not forbidden for a priest to make a political carreer. So Fabius was elected
praetor, but he had to give up his command that was conferred to him after the end of his office period. Nevertheless this reverse refers to the double prestige that the two offices brought to the ancestor of the mint-master.

But this did not stop his military career. He replaced his lost hand by an iron one and continued participating in the ongoing campaign. Two times he was caught by the Celts, but esa- ped. We are well informed about his career, because he was accused of not being capable taking over a priesthood. Mutilated were thought to be ritually impure by ancient society. Sergius Silus defended himself in a speech that was transferred by Varro.

The scene shown on ths reverse can also be seen on a trophy that was dedicated by Bocchus to honor Sulla on the Capitol.

The picture of Gaius Servilius Ahala is also an allusion of the Roman hate against autocracy: Ahala had slain a plebeian citizen with his own hands on the forum, because this plebeian was said to seek autocracy.

The standard behind the head of C. Coelius Caldus refers to his victories in Spain; the standard before his head has the typicd form of a boar, typical for the Gallic standards, and refers to his victories in Gallia. The reverse shows a L. Caldus preparing the cultic meal for the gods as it was his task as priest in the collegium of VII vir epulo. The trophies are also an allusion to the victories of C. Coelius Caldus and the A in the inscription means his priestship as Augur. P. Zanker, Augustus und die Macht der Bilder (Second edition, 1990) sees this issue as a typical example, that the late Republican coinage was designed for a political elite and that nearly none of the normal users could understand all the allusions hidden in the pictures and inscriptions.
