PantikapaionTetradrachm: Apollo (Obverse); Lion (Reverse), 360-310 BC. Greece, Miletos (Ionia). Silver; diameter: 2.4 cm (15/16 in.). The lion, king of the beasts and an animal associated with regal and heroic power, featured prominently on the coinage of many ancient Greek city-states. Artists placed the lion in a variety of poses, sometimes including the whole body, at other times the foreparts or just the head. Although it may once have roamed nearby, for many Greeks the lion was a monster nearly as exotic as the Chimaera, of which it formed a part, together with a goat head and snake-headed tail.Carnavalet Museum, Medals Collectionsesterce; Antoninus Pius (86-161; Roman emperor 138-161); 139 (139-00-00-139-00-00);bracteate denarius.

Culture: China (Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Central Asia). Dimensions: Diam. 2 3/4 in. (7 cm). Date: 7th-9th century.The nomadic communities of Central Asia used such plaques to embellish clothing and horse trappings. As these nomadic cultures herded animals and were constantly moving, their artistic production was expressed in portable objects that marked the wearer's status and wealth. The outstanding preservation of these fragile ornaments suggests they were used in conjunction with burials, where the body was aggrandized with valuable textiles and augmented with gold. Although it is difficult to date and place these objects geographically, their presence in Central Asia and has a long, established history.

Unknown in antique cemetery of turkey asia and mystery headstone False coin, crown penny, Ladislaus III of Varna (1434 1444)Bit Boss with Hercules Fighting the Monster Cacus second half 16th century South German, possibly Augsburg The central part of this bit boss is adorned with a scene depicting Hercules fighting the monster Cacus, represented as a centaur with a half-lion - half-deer body, a shield and a sword at their feet. This scene is directly inspired by a rectangular plaquette designed by Moderno (Galeazzo Mondella), ca. 1507. German bronze founders would regularly use Italian medals or plaquettes as models for their works, including bosses, like this one, which decorated the sides of horse bits. They also produced similar decorative elements for powder flasks, staff weapons or even pistols. This scene seems to have been a common design for bit bosses and plaquettes made in Southern Germany in the second half of the 16th century.. Bit Boss with Hercules Fighting the Monster Cacus.
