HISTORY
This rare coin features an intricate female janiform head with a central earring on the obverse. The term 'janiform' derives from the Roman god Janus, revered as the deity presiding over beginnings, endings, and transitions.
Traditionally depicted with two heads facing opposite directions, Janus gazes simultaneously into the past and future. This female depiction of Janus is especially intriguing, as the deity was typically portrayed as a bearded male, often appealed to alongside Jupiter himself. According to legend, Janus was gifted with foresight by Saturn in recognition of his hospitality. He had a core presence in religious ceremonies throughout the year, as he was ritually invoked at the beginning of each ceremony, regardless of the main deity honoured.
Janus-like depictions of gods associated with Hermes have been unearthed in Greece, possibly suggesting a syncretic deity, but there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Roman god. The janiform motif often signifies duality, encompassing concepts such as past and future, life and death, or the merging of rulership and divinity.
On the reverse, the coin features Athena wearing a crested Corinthian helmet, further reflecting the interplay between gods and the realm of men. In Greek religion and mythology, Athena embodies wisdom, courage, civilisation, justice, strategic warfare, and strength. Renowned for her active role in many glorious battles, such as the Trojan War, this coin exemplifies the duality of classical deities.
