Quote:
The image shows two antique coins or medallions.
One depicts "LE SOMMEIL D'ARGUS" (The Sleep of Argus), showing Argus Panoptes, a giant with many eyes, being lulled to sleep by Hermes, with two sphinxes at the base.
The other depicts "CADMUS SARRESTE EN BOETIE" (Cadmus Sarrested in Boeotia), showing Cadmus, the founder of Thebes, with a lion and a figure beside him, possibly Harmonia.
"LIV" appears on both, likely indicating a series or collection number.
The inscription "LIV" may refer to the Roman numeral for 54, but in this context, it likely serves as a catalog or series identifier for these medallions.
The themes depicted are drawn from Greek mythology, with Argus and Cadmus being significant figures in various myths.
These medallions appear to be part of a historical or mythological series, possibly intended for collectors or as educational pieces.

Still looking - also to see how many others there are.
