Sie steht auf einer Welle und war lange übersehen: Eine spätantike Münze mit der Göttin Isis Pelagia aus dem Münzkabinett der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin wurde konserviert und neu erforscht. Jetzt surft sie auch durchs Netz – als Teil der digitalen Sammlung. #SPKmagazin #Münzkabinett #Numismatik
Die surfende Göttin, wachgeküsst
Die Münzkunde profitiert von der Digitalisierung ganz besonders. Das zeigt „Imagines Nummorum Graecum“, das große neue Akademievorhaben.

The 👑 given to the winner 🏅 of the Chrysanthina games at Sardis (Lydia) was made of helichrysum, a 🌼 with yellow round florets, hence its pearly look!

Quite unusual type of a coiled serpent riding on the back of a horse, depicted on coins of Philadelphia in Lydia. Certainly not associated with games, but rather with the cult of Asclepius.
