They give form to a dual myth, representing youth and courage. Castor and Pollux were the sons of the god Jupiter and a mortal woman named Leda, and the story of their birth from an egg explains the peculiar cap which they always wear, evidently representin half of an egg shell.. Bronze . Ancient Romandenarius. Titurius Sabinus, L. (fl. 89 a.C. ; 75 a.C.), monetary officer, Republika Rzymska, issuerTetradrachm (Coin) Portraying Alexander the Great Wearing the Head of the Nemean Lion as a Helmet 336 BCE-323 BCE Amphipolis. Herakles was the consummate hero. Temples across Greece and South Italy were dedicated to him, the son of Zeus, and Romans, who knew him as Hercules, celebrated him as a role model. With brute force, determination, and just enough cleverness, Herakles completed his famous Twelve Labors to become immortal. Herakles is readily identifiable by his knobby club and lionís skin. The latter refers to his First Labor, in which he killed a magical beast who was ravaging the town of Nemea. The lionís invincible hide made him immune to weapons, so Herakles strangled him and took his pelt.When Alexander the Great (r. 336ñ323 BC) became king, he issued coins that were purposely similar to popular coins picturing Herakles. Claiming that the god was his ancestor, Alexander portrayed himself as the hero wearing the lionís skin as a helmet.. Silver . Ancient Greekas.
