@dabbene @Scudo1901 pensavo di smettere prima o poi perchè ero sempre in dubbio di tediare con questa discussione ma nel mio perenne ricercare monete e immagini pertinenti mi imbatto sempre in cose belle, meraviglie che mi piacerebbe che il mio migliore amico mi mostrasse e allora le posto. Le vostre  parole sono la più bella ricompensa... 

Caro King John, nell'ammirare le meraviglie iconografiche di quest'opera divulgativa, mi sono stupito delle parole sopra citate, ma subito venni rinfrancato dalla volontà di proseguire, sintomo di una passione ben salda ai suoi valori...

Essendo l'aspetto iconografico di una moneta l'anima del mio essere collezionista, mi permetto un umile e piccolo consiglio ( nella famelica attesa di una nuova pubblicazione ) : al fine di non essere più assalito da altri " brutti pensieri ", credo sarebbe opportuno apporre sulla tua scrivania personale la fotografia di questa bella moneta, di cui tu stesso ne esaltasti le qualità artistiche, capace di dare grandi emozioni nel guardarla...

Kraay & Hirmer 271. SNG ANS 386. SNG Lloyd 618. A coin of fine and elegant style. Has been expertly cleaned, otherwise, good very fine. From a Swiss collection formed prior to 2005. The reverse of this coin recalls the story of Hera's anger at Alkmene, one of Zeus's many girlfriends and, by him, the mother of Herakles. As a result, Hera sent two snakes to share the infant's crib; of course, this was all in fun and, in fact, the infant Herakles laughed heartily at the sight of the serpents, strangled them both and, when found, was looking around for more. According to some sources, the young child, now, because of his exploit, with the epithet Herakliskos Drakonopnigon ('Little Herakles the Snake Strangler'), summoned Hermes (the messenger of the gods), packed the bodies of the snakes in a box marked ἐπιστροφή στον αποστολέα = Return to Sender, and gave it to Hermes with the request he deliver it to Hera! The dies used to strike this coin are very similar but not the same as those used for the preceeding lot: this indicates that, as an issue, this Herakliskos series was a rather extensive one (albeit with a low rate of survival).

PHOENICIA, Arados. Circa 400-380 BC. AR Obol (9mm, 0.65 g, 11h). Half-length bust of marine deity facing, head right, holding fish in both hands / Prow of galley right; below, dolphin right; all within incuse square. Betlyon 8; SNG Copenhagen 6-7. Near EF, toned, slight granularity. Exceptional strike. Very rare.
Arados, located on a small island off the northern coast of Phoenicia, was one of the most important centers of commerce in the region, and controlled a number of smaller towns located in its vicinity. Although much is known of the city in the Hellenistic and later periods, its origin and history during the Persian period is relatively obscure. Strabo noted that it was founded by colonists from Sidon in the 8th century, but other literary and archaeological evidence place the founding much earlier. Nevertheless, by the 5th or early 4th century Arados was under the hegemony of the Persian Empire. Evidence of the city's coinage in this period is quite obscure, and our understanding of it is primarily based upon comparisons with the more firmly researched coinages of Sidon, Biblos, and Tyre (see Betlyon, pp. 77-8). Betlyon placed this particular issue in the third series of coinage, circa 400-380 BC. The types employed are purely local in character; the obverse marine deity must represent a local god worshipped at Arados, and the reverse galley is a reference to the source of Aradian prosperity -- its maritime trade.

ILLUSTRAZIONE: Nereo, divinità greca del mare tranquillo, figlio di Ponto e di Gea e padre delle Nereidi, avute dall'oceanina Doride. Era raffigurato come un bel vecchio e gli si attribuivano doti profetiche, per le quali fu consultato da Paride e da Eracle. A quest'ultimo rifiutò a lungo i consigli sul modo di prendere i pomi delle Esperidi, finché dovette cedere alla forza dell'eroe.

Heyman, op. cit ., p. 122 ff sees a portrait of Alexander the Great in most of these obverse dies, especially the early ones with head to r. This writer finds the simile a little far fetched, to say the least.
Heyman calls the rev. symbol on this coin a harpa, whereas ASW does not mention it at all; here it is clearly a dolphin.

Estimate: 350 CHF ILLUSTRAZIONE: ZEUS LABRAUNDOS (WALTERS ART MUSEUM (BALTIMORA). Alcune informazioni su Zeus Labraundos Many religions were syncretistic, meaning that as they grew and came into contact with other religions, they adopted new beliefs and modified their practices to reflect their changing environment. Both Greek and Roman religious beliefs were deeply influenced by the so-called mystery religions of the East, including the Egyptian cult of Isis, which revealed beliefs and practices to the initiated that remained unexplained, or mysterious, to the uninitiated. Most popular Roman cults had associations with these mystery religions and included the prospect of an afterlife. Zeus Labraundos was a local version of Zeus from Mylasa in Caria (southwestern Asia Minor), of whom very few representations exist except on Roman coins. The front of his apron-like garment is decorated with images of divinities and astral symbols. On his head, he wears a tall headdress with lotus elements reflecting Egyptian influences and the eagle of Zeus at the front.

KOINON MAKEDONΩN B NEΩ Horseman galloping r., holding spear. AMNG III, p. 528, 512. BMC 120. SNG Copenhagen 1355. Very rare. Lovely green patina, minor edge scrape at four o'clock on reverse, otherwise extremely fine Ex Roma Numismatics sale 7, 2014, 468. The Koinon of Macedonians under the Roman Empire was a religious and administrative confederation of Macedonian cities that had its roots in the royal administration of the Macedonian kingdom under its last kings, Philip V and Perseus. The capital of the Koinon was located at Beroia, where it celebrated pentetric Olympic games. Coinage struck by the Koinon regularly advertised the glories of the past, especially the most widely celebrated Macedonian ever to live-Alexander the Great. On the present coin, struck during the reign of Gordian III, Alexander's diademed portrait is depicted on the obverse and conforms to descriptions of the Macedonian conqueror in ancient literary sources. He has an elevated gaze, indicative of his pothos ("longing") to do the impossible and ascend to the gods, and a mane of windswept hair, giving him a powerful leonine appearance. The reverse type is a standard depiction of Alexander charging into battle on the back of his beloved horse, Bucephalus. This particular issue was probably struck in AD 242, when Gordian III passed through the city on his way to make war on the Sasanian Persian Empire. In this context, types featuring Alexander the Great not only celebrated the storied past of the Macedonian cities that made up the Koinon, but honoured the Emperor hoping to repeat the feats of Alexander and destroy the new Persian Empire. Alexander the Great had been a hero to Roman commanders since the late Roman Republic and the admiration of his grand conquests only increased under the Roman Emperors. Julius Caesar and Octavian (the future Augustus) both visited his tomb at Alexandria and lamented their deeds compared to what Alexander had accomplished by the time of his death at age 32. Roman campaigns against the Parthians and Sasanians, the Iranian successors of the Achaemenid Persians were prime occasions for Emperors to compare themselves (and be compared by others) to Alexander, although they were never able to fully duplicate his exploits. Thus there is perhaps an element of imperial flattery at work in the types in light of Gordian's apparent presence at Beroia in AD 242. As it turned out and as was usual for Roman leaders trying to emulate Alexander, Gordian III fell short. Although he drove back the Sasanians at the Battle of Raesena (AD 243) and began a march against Ctesiphon, his advance was fiercely contested. The Emperor was killed as he tried to force his way towards the Sasanian capital, either killed in the fighting or murdered by his own soldiers following a defeat. Estimate: 500 CHF

A cloak over his shoulders is fastened with a circular brooch on his breast and its end covers his left arm, in which he holds head of Medusa. Below, tunny fish right. Rx: Four-part incuse square. Traite II 2, pl. 174, 19. von Fritze 162. SNG Paris 312. This coin is highly sought after and does appear on a somewhat regular basis, but a coin of this sharpness and centering is unparalleled. Even the head of Medusa is detailed. Mint State.
The Argive hero Perseus undertook to obtain the head of Medusa, the only mortal Gorgon, whose look could turn any living creature into stone. The gods equipped Perseus with an adamantine sword, a helmet of invisibility, winged shoes, and a magic knapsack. Even after decapitating Medusa, he had to avoid looking at her head, which had retained its deadly power. Perseus rescued the Phoenician princess Andromeda by using Medusa's head as a weapon against the sea-monster that was threatening her. Perseus married the princess and in Greek myth became the ancestor of the Persians .
