Origin: Sinai, Egypt Circa: 1600 BC to 1100 BC Collection: Egyptian Style: New Kingdom Medium: Faience Necklace composed of genuine Egyptian New Kingdom faience  More »

Origin: Sinai, Egypt Circa: 1600 BC to 1100 BC Collection: Egyptian Style: New Kingdom Medium: Faience Necklace composed of genuine Egyptian New Kingdom faience beads. The love of ornament is as old as civilization itself, and a constant theme in human affairs, as this splendid necklace demonstrates. It brings together two kinds of beads from cultures separated by many centuries, yet makes them perfectly compatible and absolutely timeless in their beauty. Faience, a glass composite paste, was first created in Egypt more than four thou sand years ago. In the Egyptian new kingdom, artistry in faience was at its peak. Faience beads like these were worn by the citizens of Egypt for centuries. On the walls of tombs and temples, the aristocracy is depicted wearing faience necklaces. During the renaissance, Venetian craftsman rediscovered the ancient techniques for glassmaking. As Venetian trading power spread throughout the world, so did the demand for Venetian glass jewelry. In Africa especially, Venetian beads were used as barter for gold, ivory, spices and rare woods. In some places they acted as a kind of currency, and were used as a bridal dowry. It is easy to see why. Their subtle beauty, which blends perfectly with the rich colors of faience, still speaks to us today. - (FJ.4686)   « Less

Bronze Coin of Emperor Licinius - C.4648 Origin: Minted in Antioch Circa: 308 AD to 324 AD Collection: Numismatics Style: Roman Medium: Bronze Born of Illyrian peasant  More »

Bronze Coin of Emperor Licinius - C.4648 Origin: Minted in Antioch Circa: 308 AD to 324 AD Collection: Numismatics Style: Roman Medium: Bronze Born of Illyrian peasant stock, Licinius advanced in the army and was suddenly elevated to the rank of Augustus by his friend, Emperor Galerius. Galerius hoped to have him rule the West, but since Italy, Africa, and Spain were held by the usurper Maxentius, while Constantine reigned in Gaul and Britain, Licinius had to content himself with ruling Pannonia. When Galerius died in 311, Licinius took over Galerius' European dominions. In 313, he married Constantine's half sister Constantia and defeated the Eastern emperor Maximinus who shortly thereafter died. Licinius thus added the entire eastern half of the empire to his dominion. During the campaign against Maximinus, Licinius had made his army use a monotheistic form of prayer closely resembling that later imposed by Constantine. On June 5, 313, he had issued an edict granting tolerance to the Christians and restoring church property.   « Less

Obverse: Double Cornucopias Reverse: War Galley Facing Left with Oars and Cabin Herod Archelaus was the son of King Herod the Great and his wife Malthace. Upon Herod’s death in 4 B.C., his kingdom was divided amongst his sons Archelaus, Herod Antipas, and Philip with Archelaus receiving the largest portion to govern under the title ethnarch, or “national leader.” However, immediately after his accession, things went horribly wrong. Just before his death, Herod the Great sentenced two popular teachers, Judas and Mathias (as well as their students), to be burned alive for inciting their pupils to remove the golden eagle from the entrance to the Temple. An angry mob greeted the new leader, Archelaus, demanding justice for these martyrs. In order to quell this protest, Archelaus had over three thousand Jews murdered. Once calm was seemingly restored, Archelaus ventured off to Rome to have himself crowned by Augustus. During his absence, a new series of new riots were initiated by a series of messianic Jewish leaders, among them Athronges. Herod’s soldiers were unable to deal with the rebellion and reinforcements were called in from Roman- governed Syria. In the end, the rioting ceased after much more bloodshed. Herod Archelaus was such a bad leader that the citizens of Samaria and Judea jointly appealed to Rome to appoint a new leader. There request was granted and Archelaus was banished to Gaul, ending another bloody chapter in the history of ancient Israel.
