The reverse of this coin recalls the second major conflict of Zeus’ rise to power. After he had defeated the Titans in the Titantomachy and apportioned their former relatives to his fellow Olympians, he was compelled to resolve a conflict with the Giants, offspring of Gaia and Cronus. Known as the Gigantomachy, these chthonic half-man, half-serpent creatures attempted to wrestle power from the Olympians by casting them out of Olympus. To accomplish this, the Giants attempted to reach Olympus by heaping up one mountain range on top of the other. From above, Zeus and the other Olympians defended themselves by hurling their weapons. In the end, however, it was the assistance of Hercules, that won the day.With the final defeat of the Giants, the rule of Zeus was no longer challenged.Oct 29, 2011

Seleukeia (AD 253-268) AE 26 - Gallienus391 viewsGallienus, 253-268 AD. AE26 (ca 10.00g). AVK ΠΛK ΓAΛΛIHN / OC, draped, cuirassed and laureate bust right, seen from behind / C[E]ΛEVK - E - ΩN K / AΛVK / AΔN / Ω, Athena stg. right, shield in left hand, stabbing with spear a Giant with snakelike feet, who kneels before her; he grabs her spear with left hand and has a rock in his raised right hand. Rare, about VF. Hoeft coll.
The reverse shows a scene of the Gigantomachia. After Zeus has locked up the Titans in the Tartaros, Gaia sets her sons, the Giants, on the Olympic gods. They are human shaped with snakelike feet. The battle occurred at Phlegra. The Giants throw rocks and mountains. They couldn't be killed by gods, only by humans. So Herakles came into play. He shot a poisoned arrow on Alkyoneus and dragged him over the frontier where he died. Athena threw the island of Sicily on another Giant, where he was buried. His fire breathing comes out of the Aetna until today. May 06, 2009

AV • K • M • AVP • C Є OVHP • AΛЄZA/NΔPOC, radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / СЄΛЄV in exergue, KEΩN K AΛ VK A ΔNΩ, infant Zeus seated facing on throne, head left, raising right hand; around him, three Curetes, each wearing military outfit, striking shields with swords. Good VF, dark green patina with dusty earthen overtones. A very rare reverse type for this emperor. Ex Alighieri Coll.
The Curetes share some of the attributes of the Corybantes, dancing divinities associated with the worship of Cybele, but their specific role in Greek mythology was to serve as the protectors of the infant Zeus while he was hidden away on Crete, safe from his murderous father Cronus. Their militant dancing, accompanied by the clashing of swords on shields, drowned out the cries of the infant. The Curetes’ dance was later re-enacted by young men at Greek festivals and games.Dec 23, 2008
