Border of dots./Zeus' Aegis bearing the head of Medusa. BASILEWS ANTIOXOY QEOY EPIFANOYS. CSE 103 (THIS COIN). ex Arthur Houghton collection. This is an extremely rare coin of Antiochus IV, the infamous Seleucid king who tried to repress the Maccabees in the Hannukah story. Antiochus was especially devoted to the cult of Zeus and attempted to convert the Jewish temple into a temple of Zeus. The Aegis (Zeus' special shield) on the reverse probably depicts an immense gold aegis that the king gave to the people of Athens. It was erected on the Acropolis, but a great wind storm later knocked it down. The image of the so-called "beautiful Medusa" found on Seleucid coins is the distant ancestor of the Medusa head that has become the corporate emblem of the Versacci fashion empire. This is an ex Houghton coll. piece and the plate coin for Coins of the Seleucid Empire, no. 103.
