The greek control of the western coast of Sicily caused the Carthaginian invasion. The finalbattle between the Greeks and Punics happened in 480 BC right near Himera, turning in favor of the former.Excluding this important period, the city of Himera was excluded from major historical events in Sicily until itsdestruction in 409 BC with the advent of Hannibal, grandson of Hamilcar general, who fell at the Battle ofHimera in 480 BC.

The polis of Katane was founded in 729 B.C. by colonists from Chalcis, coming from Eubea. In 476 BC, HieronI drove all the inhabitants of Naxos and Katane, transferring them to Leontinoi, and repopulating it with the peo-ple of Syracuse and the Peloponnesian origin, changing the name to Aitna. With the fall of the Deinomenid dina-sty, in 461 BC, all the exiles returned in tha ancient city, giving it back its old name. At the end of the fifth centu-ry BC, the polis was under the influence of Syracuse and tried to become independent siding with tha Athenianadvance in Sicily. The defeat Athens decreed the end of the autonomy of Katane.

Sullivan Collection.The foundation of Carthage dates back to 814-813 BC and in a short time became one of the major cities of theMediterranean Sea. This growth caused the collision with the other centers, especially those of Sicily. The first clashoccurred in 580 B.C. when Pentathlos tried to expel the Carthaginians from the island. In 410 BC, Hannibal con-quered many Greek poleis: Selinos, Himera, Akragas, Gela, Kamarina. Syracuse then decided to respond to theattack. There were followed several clashes with alternating victories until the arrival of the Romans in 278 BC.

On the reverse is represented the triumphal arch dedicated to Claudius’ father, Drusus Major, for his victoriouscampaigns in Germany in the years 12-9 BC. Drusus was the first general of Augustus and praised him for hismilitary and moral virtues. After his death he had many honours and the senate erected a triumphal arch of mar-ble, decorated with trophies, on the Appian Way (Suet. Claud. 1), but there are not archaeological traces. With thissestertius Claudius probably wanted to commemorate his father Drusus directly, but also Augustus indirectly andjoin two leaders much loved by the soldiers and roman people, celebrating himself as their descendant.

The sestertius is, for the representation on the obverse, commemorating Drusus Major, Claudius’ father, while on the rever-se is the representation of the emperor sitting around weapons that allude to his military successes and his expansionist poli-cy. The sella curulis on which is sitting the emperor is symbol of the judicial power, that he practised carefully, weapons areprobably refered to his most important conquest, that of Britannia, while the branch is symbol of victory, but also peace.

The sestertius commemorates the end of construction of the first harbour of Rome situated near Ostia. The buil-ding was begun by Claudius in AD 42 and finished by Nero in AD 64-66 AD. The entrance to the basin was bloc-ked by a large breakwater, at the end of which was erected a lighthouse, modeled on that of Alexandria and sur-mounted by a statue of Neptune. The extremely sandy basin did not allow the easy construction of foundations. Infact, for the foundations of the lightouse was used the big cargo ship on which previously Caligula carried theEgyptian obelisk then placed in the Circus of Caligula and Nero in the horti of Agrippina Major.

Restoration and cleaning report: this Sestertius of Nero came to my attention with a green patina which showedmorphological characteristics and crystallization due to repatination. Under stereoscopic magnification (100X)was mechanically removed this layer, showing an original dark-brownish patina with scattered cuprite crystals onboth sides of the coin. Completing the cleaning of the reverse, I observed the reparation of a corrosion withepoxy material, corrosion due to a cuprite formation of cuprite place on the right side of the field. I believe thatthis accurate cleaning operation returned the coin to its delicate and refined definition.

IMP VI - COS III, Mercury standing l. on pedestal, holding caduceusand purse, within a tetrastyle temple. On tympanum, a tortoise, cock, ram, caduceus, winged helmet andpurse; in field, S - C; in ex. RELIG AVG. RIC 1075 var (laureate head); C 535.Rare, strong portrait on large flan and detailed reverse composition, dark green patina: extremely fine - goodextremely fine.

On the reverse is the representation of Mercury with its traditional attributes within a tetrastyle temple decorated with dif-ferent elements related to this deity. The legend RELIG(io) AVG(usti), the religion of the emperor, connects the figure ofMercury with the religious feeling of Marcus Aurelius. Diodorus Siculus tells how in Egypt who wore the petasus and car-ried the caduceus was seen as a figure of connection with religious and spiritual world, so the presence of this god might begenerically symbolic of emperor’s religiosity. But the representation of Mercury might also be a reference to the event of the“miracle of the rain“, occurred around AD 173, when Marcus Aurelius was on the Danube to fight the advance of theQuadi. According with Dio Cassius, the Egyptian priest Harnuphis would invoke some deities including Mercury, as thegod of the air, to make a miraculous rain fall on the roman soldiers that would take them to drink and saved from the attackof the enemy troops. This event is also represented in the reliefs of the Column of Marcus Aurelius in Rome.

In contracts with companies, we retain the title to goods until all claims from an ongoing business relationship have been satisfied.As long as the purchase price has not been paid in full, the customer is obliged:a) to handle the merchandise with care, in particular to not clean or treat them with chemicals or other objects;b) to notify us immediately if a third party has placed a claim, such as a lien, on the goods, or if the goods have suffered damage or demise and/or;c) change of ownership of the goods has occurred, as well as a change in the buyer’s own domicile.

An entrepreneur has the right to sell the goods to a third party in the course of normal business. In doing so, he already assigns to us all receivables vis-à-vis third parties that accrue to him by reselling the goods in the amount of the invoiced value. We already accept this assignment. Subsequent to assignment, the company is entitled to collect the receivables. We do, however, reserve the right to collect the receivables ourselves, if the company does not duly fulfill its payment obliga-tions and falls into default.

8- Liability for DefectsShould the articles delivered prove to have obvious defects, whereby this also includes shipping damage, you are obliged to file a claim for such defects without delay. If you are a consumer, the failure to give notice of defect, however, shall not have any consequences on your legal rights.There may exist multiple copies of individual pieces. Not all pieces can be illustrated or listed in a catalogue or on the website. The delivery of a piece not illustrated in the catalogue does not constitute a defect, unless you have expressly stated in your order that you wish to receive exactly the piece illustrated and described.

The authenticity of all goods offered is guaranteed. The buyer is entitled to all the warranties required by law.As regards warranty, the consumer has the choice of exercising his right of removal of defects or delivery of merchandise free of defects (supplementary performance). To the extent that the method of supplementary performance is considered to entail disproportionate costs, the entitlement shall be limited to the remaining options for supplementary performance. Additional rights, in particular the rescission of the purchase contract, can only be exercised after an adequate period of time has passed, allowing for supplementary performance or two unsuccessful attempts of supplementary performance or if ACR Auctions have refused supplementary performance.If the seller is an entrepreneur, we are entitled to choose to either remove defects or deliver merchandise free of defects within one year after date of delivery pursuant to § 439 BGB. After a year has passed after the date of delivery, the war-ranty claims of a business entity are limited to the removal of defects or the provision of a credit of the current cash value, whichever we deem appropriate.

6- Diritto di recessoAd ogni acquirente spetta per legge il diritto di recesso.E’ possibile esercitare il diritto di recesso senza specificare alcun motivo mediante forma scritta (per es. lettera, fax o email) entro 7 giorni dalla data in cui è stato effettuato l’ordine o è stata consegnata la merce. In tal caso la merce deve essere prontamente restituita.(vedi: art. 246 § 2 , § 1 comma 1, 2 EGBGB § 312g comma 1 locuzione 1 BGB, articolo 246 § 3 EGBGB)

Ai fini del rispetto dei termini di recesso è sufficiente l’invio tempestivo della dichiarazione di recesso o della merce. La dichiarazione di recesso dovrà essere indirizzata a:

ACR Auctions GmbH Sendlinger Straße 2480331 Munchen

Effetti del recessoIn caso di recesso affinché lo stesso sia valido, ciascuna parte deve restituire all’altra eventuali benefici ricevuti (es. interessi).Nel caso in cui non sia possibile restituire i beni acquistati o nel caso in cui tali beni siano in tutto o in parte danneggiati, la parte acquirente è obbligata a fornire un adeguato risarcimento.L’acquirente non deve effettuare alcun risarcimento se i beni acquistati risultano essere stati danneggiati prima della spedizione.I beni che non possono essere spediti, verranno prelevati da ACR Auctions al vostro indirizzo.Il rimborso dovrà essere effettuato entro 30 giorni. Per l’acquirente il termine decorre dalla data di invio della dichiarazione di recesso o dall’invio della merce stessa, per la nostra società, dalla data di restituzione della merce.

7- Riserva di proprietàACR Auctions ha diritto di vendere i beni conferiti nell’esercizio della propria attività.Il cliente venditore cede dal momento del conferimento a ACR Auctions tutti i diritti sui beni posti in vendita. Il conferente ha diritto al pagamento del prezzo pattuito solo dopo che il compratore ha pagato a sua volta il bene acqui-stato.ACR Auctions si occuperà della riscossione del prezzo di vendita sino alla scadenza dei termini di pagamento contrattuali.Nei contratti con i privati ACR Auctions si riserva la proprietà della merce sino al totale pagamento del prezzo.Nei contratti con i commercianti ACR Auctions si riserva la proprietà della merce sino al pagamento di tutti i crediti in essere.Fino al totale pagamento del prezzo il compratore è obbligato a:a) trattare la merce con cura evitando qualsiasi intervento di pulitura sia chimico che meccanico;b) non consentire a terzi di entrare in possesso dei beni acquistati come ad esempio in caso di pignoramento e a evitare il danneggiamento o la distruzione degli stessi;c) comunicare immediatamente il trasferimento di possesso dei beni nonché il cambio di domicilio

8- Responsabilità per difettiSe i beni acquistati dovessero presentare vizi palesi, tra i quali anche danni da trasporto, il compratore è obbligato a co-municare immediatamente a ACR Auctions l’esistenza di tali vizi o danni.Se il compratore è un privato, la mancata denuncia di tali danni non ha conseguenza sui diritti acquisiti.Può accadere che singoli pezzi siano disponibili in più esemplari uguali. Non è sempre possibile illustrare o elencare tutti i pezzi in un catalogo o sul sito internet. La fornitura di un pezzo uguale non illustrato non costituisce inadempimento contrattuale, salvo che abbiate espressamente indicato nell’ordinazione di voler ricevere esattamente il pezzo illustrato e descritto.Si garantisce l’autenticità di tutti i beni offerti in asta. Al committente spettano tutti i diritti di garanzia previsti dalla legge.L’acquirente privato ha facoltà di chiedere a sua scelta, ove possibile, la rimozione del vizio o la fornitura di merce equiv-alente priva non danneggiata (adempimento a posteriori). Se il tipo di adempimento a posteriori scelto dovesse essere connesso a spese di entità sproporzionata, il diritto di garanzia si perfeziona nell’altro modo previsto. Ulteriori diritti, in particolare quello del recesso dal contratto, potranno essere rivendicati soltanto dopo il decorso di un termine adeguato per l’adempimento a posteriori, oppure dopo due tentativi di adempimento a posteriori falliti, oppure anche nel caso in cui ACR Auctions si rifiuta di effettuare l’adempimento a posteriori.

Se il venditore è un commerciante, ACR Auctions ha la facoltà di scegliere fra la rimozione dei vizi o la fornitura di merce non danneggiata entro un anno a decorrere dalla data di consegna, conformemente al § 439 BGB. Decorso di un anno dalla data di consegna, i diritti di garanzia dell’imprenditore si limitano alla rimozione dei vizi oppure ad un accredito del valore attuale della merce, a scelta di ACR Auctions.

9- Protezione dei datiTutti i dati personali sono normalmente oggetto di segretezza e non vengono trasmessi a terzi.

10- Limitazione della responsabilitàACR Auctions è obbligata prestare risarcimento danni in base alle disposizioni contrattuali o alle norme vigenti in materia e nei casi ai casi in cui sia imputabile alla stessa dolo, colpa grave o responsabilità per l’integrità fisica dei clienti. La responsabilità oggettiva prevista dalla normativa di legge per la garanzia sul prodotto non viene toccata. Non viene intaccata la responsabilità derivante da un inadempimento di essenziali obblighi contrattuali.La responsabilità sarà tuttavia limitata, salvo i casi previsti ai capoversi 1 e 2, a danni prevedibili, tipici del rapporto con-trattuale. Le suddette disposizioni non comportano una modifica a svantaggio del cliente dell’onere della prova.

11- Diritto applicabile e foro competenteIl Foro competente per qualsiasi controversia è quello di Monaco di Baviera sede della ACR Auctions GmbH. La legge applicata è quella tedesca con l’esclusione della Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sui contratti per la vendita internazionale di beni.Tale norma si applica anche se il foro competente per il cliente non è in Germania e anche se non è conosciuta la sua residenza o il domicilio abituale al momento dell’avvio dell’azione legale. L’eventuale inefficacia di una o più disposizioni indicate nelle presenti “Condizioni generali di vendita” non intacca la validità delle rimanenti disposizioni. Le disposizioni ritenute parzialmente o totalmente illegittime, saranno sostituite da altre aventi un valore economico equivalente.Nel caso in cui vi sia una eventualità imprevista, le parti provvederanno a stipulare un accordo che sia valido per entrambi in conformità con il contenuto del contratto stesso. Le presenti condizioni di vendita sono accettate automaticamente da quanti concorrono all’asta e sono a disposizione di qualsiasi interessato che ne faccia richiesta.
