IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 226382 accession number: CM.LK.4210-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Monday 28 January 2019 updated: Wednesday 18 June 2025 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 -
