賣家描述
Massalia（高卢）。AR 奥博尔币（约公元前4–3世纪）
Refined Hellenistic Portraiture – The Massaliote Obol Series
Period: c. 4th–3rd Century BC.
Weight: 0.60 g
Diameter: 9.8 mm
Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo facing left, featuring refined, classical Hellenistic features.
Reverse: Monogram/symbol of Massalia (M A or wheel-related motif).
Reference: Cf. De La Tour 1380-1390 series.
Historical Significance & Artistry:
This obol represents the currency of the influential Greek colony of Massalia, a vital hub of Mediterranean trade and cultural exchange in Southern Gaul. The obverse displays a portrait of Apollo—the protector deity of the city—rendered with a surprising degree of sculptural detail for such a small denomination. This specimen exemplifies the "Hellenistic style" adopted by the colony, bridging the gap between Mediterranean Greek art and the Celtic world.
Collector’s Note:
For an obol of this period, the portrait quality is remarkably high. While the flan shows a historical break (typical for small, thin silver fractions of this era), the artistry on the obverse is exceptionally well-preserved, showcasing a delicate, idealized rendering of Apollo's features that is rarely captured in smaller fractions. This is a "connoisseur's" piece, ideal for collectors focusing on ancient Greek portraiture and the numismatic legacy of Massalia.
Market Position:
A fascinating specimen for collectors of ancient Greek fractions and early Mediterranean coinage, valuable for its aesthetic appeal and historical representation of the Massaliote-Gallic cultural link.
