Ares, Mamertinoi NO RESERVE

SICILY, Messana, The Mamertinoi AE Pentonkion

Ares, whom the Oscans called Mamers, is the war god the Mamertini named themselves for; the horseman leading his mount on the reverse is one of the Dioskouroi, the divine cavalrymen. Together they present a community that lived by soldiering.

Check out my other auctions. I'll be running a good number of $1 starts with no reserve. In particular I will be running other Greek bronzes of the Mamertinoi set.
