AMNG 1844 (Gotha) (attribution by Curtis Clay!) about VF+, glossy mid-dark green patina, strong bust of Diadumenian In the character of sister of Apollo, Artemis is like her brother armed with a bow, quiver, and arrows, and sends plague and death among men and animals. As Apollo was not only a destructive god, but also averted the evils which it was in his power to inflict, so Artemis at the same time cured and alleviated the sufferings of mortals.
