Description [Image] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Image] [Image] P. Accoleius Lariscolus . 43 BC. Silver Denarius, 18mm. (3.53 gm). O: Bust of Acca Larenta.. R: Three statues of the Nymphae Querauetulanae.. cf. Craw 486/1.. Some banker's marks, aVF. According to ancient mythology, Acca Larentia had been the wife of Fautulus, the shepherd who had found Romulus & Remus. She became the twins' nurse after they were taken from the she-wolf. On the reverse of this coin we see three females standing, their heads terminating in trees. These were the sisters of Phaeton, the son of Sol, god of the Sun. Phaeton had persuaded his father to allow him to drive the chariot of the Sun, but the youth was too weak to control the powerful horses. The chariot ran out of its usual track, and it came so close to the Earth that it nearly set it on fire. Jupiter was enraged by this and killed him with a flash of lightning and hurled the body down into the River Eridanus. His sisters, who had yoked the horses gto the chariot, bewailed the death of Phaeton so bitterly that the Gods, in their compassion, changed them into poplar trees and their tears into amber.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TERMS OF SALE: 1.
