Ex Classical Numismatic Group, Mail Bid Sale 81 (20 May 2009), lot 450, with tag; BCD Collection (Münzen und Medaillen GmbH 23, 18 October 2007), lot 17. Achelous was the Greek patron deity of the largest river in Greece. Like other river deities, he is usually depicted as a man-faced bull, with a particularly sensitive rendering on this tetradrachm of the Acarnanian Confederacy, a multi-city league on the southern Illyrian coast. While usually seen as benevolent, Achelous battled Heracles for the favors of the beautiful nymph Deianeira and lost one of his horns in the match; he had to trade one of the horns of the Amalthean Goat to get it back. HID02901242017 Estimate: 1500-2000 USD ILLUSTRAZIONE: LOTTA TRA ERACLE E ACHELOO

Acheloo nelle dodici fatiche di Eracle era contendente, insieme allo stesso Eracle, della mano di Deianira, figlia del re dell’Etolia. Acheloo era l’unico pretendente che non si era ritirato alla vista del possente Eracle, che indossava la pelle di un leone che aveva ucciso presso Nemea. Nelle Metamorfosi di Ovidio, l’episodio si conclude con una lotta fra i due pretendenti, nella quale Acheloo dimostra le sue capacità di trasformismo: si muta prima in serpente, poi in toro, poi in drago ed infine in un uomo con la testa bovina. Infine, vinto da Eracle, che gli aveva strappato un corno, Acheloo, dopo essersi gettato nel fiume Toante (che, da allora, prese il suo nome, e che oggi è il fiume Aspropotamo) cede alle sue pretese su Deianira. Secondo una delle molte e discordanti versioni del mito, il corno di Acheloo divenne poi la Cornucopia, simbolo di prosperità ed abbondanza (secondo altri la Cornucopia sarebbe invece il corno della capra Amaltea, che allattò Zeus da infante).

MYSIA, Kyzikos. Circa 450-330 BC. EL Stater (15.5mm, 15.97 g). Nude hero (Herakles or Jason?), wearing conical hat, holding club in right hand, animal skin draped over left arm, kneeling right on tunny right / Quadripartite incuse square.

The identification of the hero on the obverse of this issue is uncertain. In older references he was identified as Herakles, but this was based on examples on which the conical hat was not visible. The use of this headgear makes it unlikely that it is Herakles that is depicted here. As an alternative, Jameson suggested the hero Jason, in which case the animal skin would be the Golden Fleece. That hero's hat, though, is traditionally depicted as a much more broad-rimmed device (see, e.g., AGCG 374), unlike the narrow hat on this issue. Most modern references simply refer to the figure as a hero.

Historique : Domitien reçut le titre de César, donc d'héritier de l'Empire, en même temps que son frère Titus en décembre 69, mais il était le seul présent à Rome avec son oncle Flavius Sabinus qui périt dans l'incendie du Capitole. Il est proclamé 'Princeps Iuventutis' (Prince de la Jeunesse), titre qu'il conserva même après la mort de son père en 79. Après celle de son frère Titus le 13 septembre 81, certains disent assassiné à l'instigation de Domitien lui même, il devint empereur pour un règne lamentable qui finit par son assassinat.

Alexander, der mit Aristoteles persönlicher Kopie der Ilias im Gepäck seine Feldzüge anführte, empfand sich bei der Eroberung Asiens als neuer Achill. In Anlehnung an das mythische Vorbild schleuderte bei der Überschreitung des Hellespont von der Galeere aus seinen Speer in den Sand und erhob so Anspruch auf das "speergewonnene Land".

Leo VI (886-912). Co-Emperor with his father since January 870, he was dubbed "the Wise" and "the Philosopher." His scholarly pursuits though were done at the expense of the Empire, whose affairs he paid scant attention. His plans to continue his line came to naught after three marriages produced no heir. Finally his fourth union, with the concubine Zoe Carbonopsina ("Eyes of Coal") produced a son, later Constantine VII. His many marriages, however, earned him the ire of the Church and his arrangements were denounced by the church as Tetragamy.
