Ares Bruttium, NO RESERVE

Double Unit

BRUTTIUM The Brettii HN Italy and most catalogs call this a Double Unit or Didrachm; SNG ANS treats it as a reduced sextans. Weight is at the light end of the range.

Ares, the war god, and Nike crowning a trophy of arms make a matched pair of martial types, fitting for the Brettii at the height of their alliance with Hannibal.

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 Syracuse Greek bronzes of Sicily.
