This specimen, by far the best known for quality, permits unambiguous identification of this very rare and splendid coin.

For the first time the obverse legend is clearly legible, and also the prey, originally identitìed by Calciati as a turtle, is definitely a hare. His misreading was surely due to the poor conditron ofthe pieces known to him, the wear from long circulation eftèctively transforming the hare/rabbit into a lump-shaped form reminiscelt of a turtle. Luckily, our specimen, besides being in superb condition, is also so sharply struck that the typical long ears of the hare/rabb:it are easily recognisable.

In the summer of 28 l. the ermies of Seleucus I o1'Syria met the forces of Lysirnachus, advanced to repel the invader fiom his Asiatic provinces, fbr a fìnal clash on the plains ol Coropedium. In the ensuing battle the Thracian king met his cleath, and Seleucus fbund himself Lhe sole ruler of Alexander's heritage.

The significance ofthe t1,pes ofthis issue, struck irnrnediately after the victory, ard not new to Seleucus coinage. is clearly of celebratory nature. Apart fiom zrn immediate and easy reference to the well-known Bucephalus, and thereibre to everything AÌerandrine, the horned horse may weU refer to Seleucus'own mount, to whose swiftness in past perilrus circumstances he owed his lifè. The horns, a divine attribute, specially arrong Oriental people, flrther stress the importance given to the animal. Besides, it should not be forgotten that Seleucus was for some time alier the death of

Alexander the commander of the "Hetairoi", the Household Cavalry.

The elephant obviously recalls the trump card of the Seleucid arnry. whrch made heavy use of these mighty animals.

Clearly the horse / elephant association must be seen as a special recognition of the role of the cavalry and the elephant corps in the batle.

This issue. ostensibly struck only at Pergamum, is exceedingÌy rare, having had a very short lifè since Seleucus was assassinated by Ptolemy Ceranus only seven months after the victory of Coropediutt.

Our specimen, howevcr, seems not to belong to Pergamum: it shows monograms unrecorded fbr this city, but irttributable to another western SeÌeucid mint. Perhaps, considering the propagandistic intent of the issue, it r.vas Seleucus' idea to begin production o1'this type:ìt other locations irs well, as a means ofirnpressing his newly acqurred sulrjects. Be that as it ltry. the plan was abandoned in ihe wake of Seleucus' suddcn death.

Tlris coin. of erceptional iconographical and docunrentary value. shows on the revcrse the lèatures of the Ny'rnphueLtm divi Alercmdri. one of the three nynrphaea explicitly listed by name (thc others are the NympltaecL ?l-irz on the Aventine and the ,\\rrz7rÀrteun lovi.s beneath the present day Piiizza S. Silvestro) of the fifieen assessecl in the crtl, of Romc. according to the cataÌogue ol the rcglare,s ol the lburLh century AD. The nymphaeun'r (or monumental fbuntain) of Aicxalder Ser"erus has becn iclentifìed with the imposing brick structure. known as "Trophies of Marius". tbr the presence of two marble reliefs of the age ol'Dom itian (removed in I 590 and carried onto the baluster o1'the Capitol. where they still rerrain). The enonnous fìnntain, whrch was once covered wjth marble ornaments. todury rises at the nortl'ìern corner of Piazza Viltorio Emanuele ll (at the fork ol the Labicana and Collatina streets) and is fèd by the Ac|.Lct Iuli.a (t:t which was exactly the "Mostra"). Tl.re fountarn ièatures a trapezoidal plant, erpancling on tluee tiers in the style ol the .rcerLae .frons. (i.e. irritating the stage-tìont prospect of the playhouse), with a large central niche (rem iniscent of the monument of Philopappus in Athens). and two minor sidc niches. contai ni ng t\\ u

great marble trophies. A scrli circular basin in the Iìregrouncl was usecl lòr drawing the water filling fì'om above.

The "rvater suppÌy" is due to Alexander Scverus. whosc other credits include the rebuilding in 227 AD of the Thermae of Nero (later knorvn as theThennue Alerund.rinae) at the Carnpo Nlarzio, NW of the Pantheon. Thcsc achicvemt'ntr in crvif engineering are surnmarised in the "l-i1e ol'Alexancler Severo" (chap. 2-5) containecl in the Hi.storia t\ugLtstu. ts lbllows: "Hc rebu ilt the edif ices raisotl by his predecessors and sàw to the erecting of many others. including the Thermiie named atier him. sited next to the old Therrnae of Nero and tèd by the aLlueduct now called Alerandrine".

Of the highest rarity. only the second known eran'rple. A spìendid and prestigious meclallion with a spectacular portrait. Ertrernely fine From the "Parthenico" hoard.

Galerius Valerius Maximianus built his military career under Aurelianus and Probus: he was ploclainrecl Augustus Lr1 Diocletianus,perhapsonthe lstofApril 286.andwasentr:ustrdwiththesovernmentandthedelènceof theDanubian provinces and the Balkan peninsula.

The unsuccessful attempt to reconquer Britain fiom the usurper Carausius obligecl Diocletianus to fbrm tlle tctruchic system, assigning Constantius Chiorus as Caesar to Maximianus. Thus Marirnianus began fìghting the Nliaurctaniiin rebel tribes in Africa. in the confiontation ol 297-298.

The portrait of Maximianus in the rnedallion seems to have undergone a process of idealisatron: the heacl of AugrLstus bears a lion-skin. the nose acquires a more regular contour (neither hookccl nor flattened), while the face is fì-amcd b1- a ring of beard ar.rd the chin appears strong.

The motif of the pellis leonina (the Nemean Iion, strangled by Heracles in one of his twelve labours), proclaims the figure of Hercules Cor?e.r. standing with his typical attributes (the bow and the club) on the reverse. By adopting the name "Herculean", Maximianus credited his continuing power to the special divine protection aflbrded to the hero of the

Roman-italic tradition.
