Isis Pharia advancing right, holding sistrum and sail; to right, Pharos.RPC III 5895; Dattari (Savio) 1767; Emmett 1002.18.From the John Aiello collection; ex Leon Lacroix collection, Elsen 134 (2017), lot 473. The Lighthouse of Alexandria was named after the island of Pharos, located in front of the city, on which it stood, and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, a list compiled in the Hellenistic age. In reconstructing the appearance of the lighthouse, the description of Strabo, who speaks of a multi-story tower built of white stone, dedicated by Sostratus of Knidos to ensure the safety of sailors, is essential. Ancient representations of the lighthouse are rather general and dated to the 1st-2nd centuries AD. For this purpose numismatic documentation proves the most useful. On coins, such as this Hadrian's drachm, some essential features of the monument can be recognized, such as the square plan of the upper lower body, equipped with overlapping windows. The two upper levels, often reduced to one, were octagonal and cylindrical in shape respectively. On the top was located the large burning fire and sculptural groups.

Herakles and the apples of the Hesperides: Herakles wearing lion skin, club over shoulder, advancing right, picking apple from tree, around which is entwined a serpent with arrow through neck.RPC IV.4 980; Dattari (Savio) 8495; Emmett 1554.10.Herakles' penultimate effort takes place in the garden of the Hesperides. The apples had been Gaia's gift for the wedding of Zeus and Hera, and were guarded by the Hesperides, daughters of Night, and the hundred-headed serpent Ladon, constantly coiled around the trunk of the tree, at Hera's behest. Herakles killed him by shooting an arrow over the garden wall, built by Atlas. Hera could only ease the pain of Ladon's death by placing his image among the stars, as the constellation of the Serpent. The day after, the Argonauts also came to the garden and witnessed the transformation of the Hesperides into trees, desperate for the loss of their treasure and their guardian.
