Ilyria. Epeiros. Estátera. 360-338 a.C. Ambrakia. (Pegasi-86). (Bmc-35-6). (Cy-no la cita). Anv.: Pegaso al paso a derecha, debajo A. Rev.: Atenea a izquierda con casco corinto, delante serpiente enroscada en tortuga, detrás figura masculina desnuda sobre roca. Ag. 8,69 g. Rara. EBC. Est...750,00. Estátera del tipo corintio, acuñada en Ambrakia, Epiro (importante colonia de Corinto, fundada hacia 660 a.C., llegó a ser la capital de Epiro bajo el reinado de Pirro (480-456 a.c.). En anvero Pegaso caminando a derecha sobre línea de exergo, A entre las patas. En reverso cabeza de Atenea a derecha con casco corintio, a la izquierda bajo la barbilla ¿tortuga y serpiente?, detrás Iachos niño con gorro frigio, desnudo, sentado y llevando antorcha encendida en la mano izquierda de la que sale una larga lengua de fuego. Iachos es el nombre solemne de Dioniso, el Dioniso frigio que fue visto en los misterios eleusinos como un niño, y como tal, se le describe como hijo de Deméter y Zeus. Su nombre se deriva de la bulliciosa canción festiva que también se llama Iacchus.
Se conocen media docena de estáteras con la imagen de Iachos niño tras la cabeza de Atenea, pero en todas ellas se encuentra en cuclillas y sin tan larga antorcha encendida. El elemento bajo la barbilla tampoco aparece en ellas. La esquematización de Iachos es de una gran plasticidad, parece estar saludando con la mano derecha. En cualquier caso nos encontramos ante un ejemplar ¿único? De una calidad óptima que hará las delicias del afortunado poseedor.
ENGLISH: Ilyria. Epheiros. Stater. 360-338 BC. Ambrakia. (Pegasi-86). (Bmc-35-6). (Cy-does not cite). Obv.: Pegasus flying right, A below. Rev.: Athena to left, wearing Corinthian helmet; at the front, serpent coiled to a turtle; behind, naked male figure over rock. Ag. 8,69 g. Rare. EBC. Stater, Corinthian type, minted in Ambrakia, Epirus (important colony of Corinth, founded around 660 BC., became the capital of Epirus under the reign of Pyrrhus (480-456 BC.). On the obverse, Pegasus flying right on line of exergue, A between the legs. On the reverse, head of Athena right, wearing Corinthian helmet, on the left and under the chin, turtle and snake??; behind, the child Iacchus with a Phrygian hat, naked, seated and carrying a lit torch in his left hand from which comes a long tongue of fire. Iacchus is the solemn name of Dionysus, the Phrygian Dionysus who was seen in the Eleusinian mysteries as a child, and as such, he is described as the son of Demeter and Zeus. His name is derived from the bustling festive song that is also called Iacchus. There are half a dozen little staters with the image of Iacchus as a child behind the head of Athena, but in all of them he is squatting and without such a long burning torch. The element under the chin does not appear in them either. The Iacchus schematization is of great plasticity, it seems to be waving with the right hand. In any case, we have a ‘unique’ (?) piece, with an optimum quality that will delight the fortunate owner. Description
