Nomos AG > obolos 12	Auction date: 31 March 2019
Lot number: 281
Lot description: CORINTHIA. Corinth. Circa 400-375 BC. Diobol (Silver, 11 mm, 0.80 g, 11 h). Ϙ Pegasos with spread wings flying to left. Rev. A-P Pegasos with curved wings standing left on a stepped plinth. Cf. BCD Corinth 196 (but there the reverse Pegasos is walking and is accompanied by a magistrate's initials). For the same types as here see the diobol from Leukas, BCD Akarnania 190.1 and SNG Copenhagen 333. Extremely rare, perhaps the second known example, clear and well-struck. Very fine. The particularly archaic way the wings of the Pegasos are shown, and the presence of the base (not clearly visible on the BCD example or on the known examples from Leukas), probably indicates that the depiction on the reverse is that of an actual late Archaic or early Classical bronze statue in Corinth. In addition, the presence of two images of Pegasos might also be a way of indicating to the ancient user that the coin is a diobol. Starting Price: 75 CHF

Diobolo di Corinto con doppio Pegaso è da urlo....

Un tondello così ispira tantissimo, a me parla...

Ma questo è spettacolare...

Qui si vola, si combatte, si viaggia, si stupisce, si omaggia, si arricchisce, si aggrega..

Ma cosa vuoi batter più dopo tondelli come questi...

p.s. E il mosaico a chi lo lasciamo, movimento e animazione allo stato puro.

Diamo premi, attestati a chi fa tanto e bene, chiamamoli premi divulgazione !

Bisogna gratificare chi fa e merita !

[King John]

@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...

Viviamo nel paese più bello e incosciente del mondo. Più bello anche perché ci sono appassionati come te che ci affascinano con queste straordinarie ricerche storiche e contemporaneamente così alla portata di tutti. Più incosciente perché ci buttiamo via invece di avere ai nostri piedi tutto il resto dell’umanità con i nostri secoli di cultura, col nostro Rinascimento, con la nostra creatività, con la nostra fantasia. 

Ti prego continua così e guai se smetti! ?

Questa questa...

Un tre quarti di Zeus di questo livello solo da ammirare, e perchè no.. anche un po da invidiare per il magnifico tondello.

Delle illustrazioni si parla poco, diamo lustro a questo lavoro, perchè poi costa anche fatica e tempo..

Stupende immagini che fanno apprezzare ancor di più le classiche iconografie e il contesto storico..

Ti seguo carissimo...

The portrait on the obverse has sometimes been identified as the famous chief of the Arverni, Vercingetorix, whom Julius Caesar captured in 52 BC in Alesia. It is difficult to imagine anyone placing such a dramatic portrait of a defeated foe on their coinage, but it is clear from surviving sources of the period that the Romans had a good deal of respect for the Gauls as honorable warriors. Crawford and Sear believe this identification is unlikely, but the large, distinctive, and carefully engraved head suggests the die cutter worked with an eye toward creating an individualized portrait, rather than a stylized personification of a Gaul. The reverse is also of particular historical interest, in that it depicts the manner in which chariots were used in Celtic Gaul, and perhaps in Britain as well.  Estimate: 5000 USD
