Bithynion-Hadriana (AD 130) AE 38 - Antinoüs1538 viewsAntinoüs, favorite of Hadrian, died 130 AD. AE38 - Medallion (45.49g, 6h). ANTINOON ΘEΩN H ΠATRIC, bare-headed and draped bust right / BEIΘYNEIΩN AΔPIANΩN, Antinoüs, as Hermes Nomios, standing facing right, wearing short chiton, chlamys, and winged sandals, holding pedum in left hand, the right raised protectively over the forepart of a grazing cow standing left beside a tree; star above. Good VF, matte dark brown patina. One of the finest unaltered Antinoüs bronzes known. Ex Dowdy Coll. Ex Leu 30 (4/1982), lot 367; Sternberg 7 (11/1977), lot 644.
In Egypt, the cult of Antinoüs saw him as an avatar of Hermes-Thoth, a messenger between mortals and the gods. Elsewhere, he was seen in another guise, as Hermes Nomios, or the "Herdsman." As defender of the herd or flock, Hermes brought forth fecundity and prosperity, just as Antinoüs would bring good fortune to those who did him honor.
