Festival of Isis. Mid 4th century AD. Æ (13mm, 0.75 g, 6h). Alexandria mint. [DEO] SAR[A]PIDI, draped bust of Sarapis right, wearing modius / SANCTO NILO, river-god Nilus reclining left on hippopotamus, holding reed in right hand and cornucopia in left; ALE. Cf. Alföldi, Festival pl. IV, 36 (for type); Vagi 2960 (1/8 nummus). VF, dark green to black patina, some obverse roughness. Very rare.From the Douglas O. Rosenberg Collection, purchased from Holyland Numismatics.The Ptolemaic cult of Sarapis and Isis enjoyed great popularity throughout Hellenistic and Roman times, and indeed the Romans, like the Greeks and Persians before them, were fascinated by the culture and monuments of ancient Egypt. The Ptolemies and the Roman emperors were not content with just being the foreign rulers of Egypt, but wanted to be viewed as legitimate successors of the Pharaohs. To this end, the Romans portrayed themselves as Pharaohs to the native population and even promoted the import of certain aspects of Egyptian culture and religion to their own native lands. The Egyptian concept of the Pharaoh as a god was appealing to the Roman emperors (the aging Julius Caesar was especially taken with this concept during his romance with Cleopatra). The Isis festival was a major celebration in Rome in the 3rd and 4th centuries, heralding the arrival of the ship of Isis (navigium Isidis) from Alexandria on 5 March. Besides Isis and Horus, other members of the Egyptian pantheon appear--Sarapis, Anubis, Harpocrates, and Nilus. Such coins or tokens with imperial busts were first struck by Diocletian at Rome to mark the arrival of the ship, and the tradition continued through the 4th century; the latest imperial bust to appear is that of Valentinian II. Alföldi proposes that in the Middle Ages the festival associated with the Isis ship (also known as carrus navalis) became the car naval or carnival.

FRANCE, Premier Empire. Napoléon I. 1804-1814. Æ Medal (41mm, 30.74 g, 12h). Napoleon's Tomb at St. Helena and the Retour des cendres. By Bovy. Dually dated 5 May 1821 and 15 December 1840. NAPOLEON EMPEREUR, uniformed bust left / MEMORIAL DE STE. HELENE, 5 MAI MDCCCXXI • PARIS 15 DEC. MDCCCXL, view of the tomb of Napoléon at St. Helena. Bramsen 1990. EF, small rim bump, minor deposits.From the J. Eric Engstrom Collection.Napoléon died in British-imposed exile on the South Atlantic island of St. Helena. Prior to his demise, he had petitioned the government to allow his body to be brought back to France for burial. Yet the recently restored Bourbons feared an uprising, and refused the request, pending a calmer political situation. Ten years after an abortive 1830 petition to place his ashes in the Colonne Vendôme, the emperor's burial request was finally granted.By October 1840, three ships lay anchored off St. Helena, ready to return Napoléon to Paris. Tension filled the air as the British garrison ceremoniously exhumed the remains and handed it to the French. Back on the continent, the relationship between the two powers was strained. France had angered most of Europe by supporting Muhammed Ali in an uprising against the Ottomans in Egypt and many feared the British would retaliate militarily. Accordingly, the ship bearing the remains made directly for France, while the other two lagged behind.Yet the concern was for naught, and the tension back home soon diffused. Napoléon's coffin finally arrived in Paris on December 15. Here it was borne in an elaborate procession to Les Invalides, amidst the celebration of the crowds. The coffin was housed in the Chapel of Saint-Jérôme until the monumental sarcophagus was completed in 1861.The Retour des cendres was intended as political theater to bolster the image of the July Monarchy of Louis-Philippe. It instead glorified and restored the image of the former emperor. Far from supporting the monarchy, this procession marked the revival of the myth of Napoléon and contributed to the rise of the Second Empire.
