Deinomenid Posted September 24, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted September 24, 2022 Kore. The maiden/Persephone. Time for our Doric genitives oh my. The obverse shows the head of Kore, usually facing right, wearing a necklace, earrings, and a wreath made of a stalk bearing a full ear of grain. Her hair flows loosely about her neck and shoulders. This loose hairstyle is without precedent in Syracusan coinage, yet the type proved quite popular, reappearing on the coins of the Fourth Democracy, Pyrrhus, and Hieron I. Along the left edge appears the legend ΚΟΡΑΣ , the Doric genitive of Kore, "the Maiden," an epithet of Persephone. On the reverse a winged female figure stands at left, naked to the hips, with a hammer in her right hand and a nail in her left; she is preparing to nail a helmet to a freestanding trophy. Tetradrachm. 310-305 BC AGATHOKLES. SYRACUSE. SICILY 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The trotting race was for mares, and in the last part of the course, the riders jumped off and ran beside the mares, holding on to the bridle" - Pausanias 5.9.2 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Di Nomos Posted September 24, 2022 · Member Share Posted September 24, 2022 Dynasts of Lycia, Kherei. Stater, c. 410 - 390 BC. Athena on the obverse, and portrait of Kherei on the reverse, with his name written in Lycian script. This is one of the earliest coins to show a portrait of a living person, though it isn't as naturalistic as the portraits of the Dynasts that followed Kherei. 10 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
