Bronze Coin, Greece
struck 280 – 261 BC
Tripod – associated with Apollo and the Oracle of Delphi
Antiochus I, Soter
Victorious Apollo
Who with all his arrows
Has slain the Pythian Beast
And now upon his horse
Circles the Oracle of Delphi
Who sits upon her tripod
And cries out in ecstasy
While the hammer of Hephaestus
Strikes the coin
