473, ATHENIAN, Paris, Cabinet des Medailles, Paris, private, Duke of Luynes, Paris, private, Duke of Luynes, Paris, Vicomte Beugnot, Canino, Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino, 251
CAVI Subject: A: Dionysus with kantharos, with a satyr and two maenads. B: The Struggle for
the Tripod, with Leto (or Artemis?); deer.
CAVI Inscriptions: B: partly nonsense or mock inscriptions: Between the foreheads of Heracles
and Apollo: hεαριος. To right of Heracles' face: αφχνγα(.)τ, retr.{1}. To left
of Leto's face: Λετος(χ), retr.{2}. Under the foot, Gr.: Attic lambda and
Etruscan 8. See Johnston (1979), 107/24B 16. There are also some other signs,
cf. CVA.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} I have not a good reading of this; CVA does not consider it retr. and
prints: τσασχφα. De Ridder has: εσδυσαοα. There is a glare in the photo, but I
saw ...οστ, retr. {2} CVA has: αετοσχ, retr., and interprets: Αετος, which is
also de Ridder's understanding.
CAVI Comments: The first and last inscription look like bowdlerized names of Heracles and
Leto, but it is hard to read the second in any way as Apollo. An illiterate?
