La traduzione letterale del termine è corazzieri, il che suggerisce che essi possono avere indossato un maglia celtica o, eventualmente, un thorax. I Thorakitai vennero utilizzati in eserciti del periodo ellenistico in una varietà di situazioni tattiche. Erano un tipo di fanteria corazzata, ma mobile che non aveva bisogno di una formazione rigida per essere efficace in combattimento. Dal loro nome si può dedurre che la maggior parte indossava corazza ed elmo. Portavano un thureos (o thyreos), uno scudo oblungo, ed erano armati di spada, giavellotti e lancia, che venivano utilizzati secondo il loro uso tattico.

Kuprilli, Lycian Dynast, c. 470-441
Estimate: CHF 4'000.00
Stater (Silver, 8.62 g 11). Winged man-headed bull walking to right. Rev. Triskeles. Mørk-holm-Zahle 78 (this coin). Traité 278, pl. XCVI, 30. Extremely rare. Toned. Nearly extremely fine.
Ex Hess-Leu 316 December 1966, 480. In designing their coins the Lycians primarily drew upon a whole repertoire of Greek types, familiar to them from the coins of their neighbors, as well as from sources further to the east and south, including Egyptian influences coming through Phoenicia, and the art of their Achaemenid Persian overlords. While man-headed bulls representing powerful river gods commonly appeared on Greek coins (especially in Magna Graecia and Sicily, as above, 2-3, 48-54, etc.), the creature here has nothing to do with them. Rather, this powerful beast is a direct copy of the huge stone Assyrian and Achaemenid winged man-headed bulls which stood as guardians at the doors and gates of the palaces of the east, and can now be seen in museums in London, Berlin and elsewhere. Whether full sized sculptures of this type could actually be found in any of the palaces of the Lycian dynasts is unknown, but the accuracy with which it was portrayed shows that the Lycian engraver responsible for this coin must have been familiar with their iconography.

ILLUSTRAZIONE: LAMASSU ASSIRO. I LAMASSU ERANO SCULTURE  in forma di tori o leoni alati con testa umana, dai volti virili e ieratici; lunghe barbe ricciute dal taglio geometrico, simbolo di potenza e autorità morale. O spesso con visi ispirati alle fattezze dell’imperatore. Erano custodi, posti in coppia, all’ingresso dei grandi palazzi dell’impero assiro che occupava le terre dell’antica Mesopotamia. Divinità benevole e protettive il cui principale scopo era quello di allontanare le forze avverse e le entità maligne.

Commentaire à propos de cet exemplaire : Semble inédit avec ce symbole (corne d’abondance) derrière la tête.
Commentaires : Le monnayage de bronze ne débute qu’en 288 avant J.-C. et l'invasion des Mamertini qui s'emparèrent de Messine. Quatre émissions différentes sont répertoriées entre 288 et 200 avant J.-C. Nous sommes en présence de pièces de 5 onkiai (onces). A ce type monétaire sont associés plusieurs symboles placés derrière la tête de Zeus : foudre, massue, étoile, croissant et pentagramme.
Historique : Messine fut fondée par les Chalcidiens vers 725 avant J.-C. sous le nom de Zancle, faucille, nom qui vient de la forme du port de la cité. Les Samiens, fuyant le joug perse s'emparèrent de la cité en 493 avant J.-C. et la gardèrent pendant quatre ans jusqu'à ce que Anaxilas, tyran de Rhegion, ne les en chasse et ne renomme la cité, Messine. Anaxilas et son fils furent renversés en 461 avant J.-C. et la Démocratie établie. Messine fut détruite par les Carthaginois en 396 avant J.-C. Messine, après avoir retrouvé une certaine prospérité au cours de la seconde moitié du IVe siècle avant J.-C., fut encore une fois ravagée par un envahisseur, cette fois-ci, des mercenaires osques qui détruisirent la cité et massacrèrent ses habitants en 288 avant J.-C. Les nouveaux maîtres, les Mamertins, maintinrent leur autonomie sous le contrôle des Romains jusqu'au Ier siècle avant J.-C. Le monnayage cessa en 38 avant J.-C.
