Bronze medaillon: Anguipes (A) Hecate (B)
Bronz medaillon. Intact, smaller chip on the upper edge. Behind the cockscomb, the edge of the broken suspension hole is visible.
Side A: Frontal view of the cock-headed Anguipes in armour. Right hand holding a whip, left hand, a round shield, porpax visible. An eight-pointed star behind his head, two characteres on the left. Inscription around the figure from the bottom right in mirror writing: σανθ οσ → unidentified vox.
Side B: Roughly depicted Hecate trimorphos, with three human heads, a modius on top of each. Her right leg is depicted from the side, the left one from the front in foreshortening, showing the goddess in motion (dancing?). The objects in her hands are roughly marked; a pair of daggers, snakes (whips?), and downward-pointed torches. On either side of Hecate, a six-pointed star. On the left edge: ω; λ or α? upside down; on the right, two letters (εε?) and a motive or characteres.
On this type of Hecate representations, see William Bruce and Kassandra Jackson Miller in JRA 30 /2017/.
