IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 226382 accession number: CM.LK.4210-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Monday 28 January 2019 updated: Thursday 10 December 2020 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: This medallion was bought by Colonel Leake during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815) at Serres in northern Greece. He had been sent there to help the Turkish government organise the defence of Greece in case the French invaded. The style and subject of the medallion - the head of Athena and Alexander the Great on horseback hunting a lion - recall early Greek designs. But this example was probably struck in AD 242, to mark the 'Olympic' games celebrated in that year in Macedonia, in honour of Alexander the Great. title: Roman Provincial LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Coins and Medals collection: Leake Collection STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/226382 CATEGORIES ------ category: medal DATING ------ creation date: 242 - 242 creation date earliest: 242 creation date latest: 242 CREATORS -------- maker: Unknown CITATIONS -------- Journal of Roman Studies --- IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/large_CM_LK_4210_R_281_29.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/mid_CM_LK_4210_R_281_29.jpg height: 500 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/CM_LK_4210_R_281_29.jpg height: 5723 pixels width: 5723 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/preview_CM_LK_4210_R_281_29.jpg height: 250 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/large_CM_LK_4210_R_282_29.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/mid_CM_LK_4210_R_282_29.jpg height: 500 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/CM_LK_4210_R_282_29.jpg height: 5966 pixels width: 5966 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/preview_CM_LK_4210_R_282_29.jpg height: 250 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/155/large_CM_LK_4210_R_2_obv_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 1365 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/155/mid_CM_LK_4210_R_2_obv_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 667 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/CM.LK.4210-R_2_obv_201107_amt49_mas.tif surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/155/preview_CM_LK_4210_R_2_obv_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 333 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: zoom format: pyramid tiff location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/155/CM_LK_4210_R_2_obv_201107_amt49_mas.ptif height: 5344 pixels width: 4008 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/161/large_CM_LK_4210_R_obv_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 1335 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/161/mid_CM_LK_4210_R_obv_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 652 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/CM.LK.4210-R_obv_201107_amt49_mas.tif surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/161/preview_CM_LK_4210_R_obv_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 326 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/167/large_CM_LK_4210_R_rev_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 1326 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/167/mid_CM_LK_4210_R_rev_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 647 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/CM.LK.4210-R_rev_201107_amt49_mas.tif surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/167/preview_CM_LK_4210_R_rev_201107_amt49_mas.jpg height: 324 pixels width: 250 pixels
