has for type Asklepios seated, as on silver coins of Epidaurus of the
fourth century b. c. Among other Imperial types may be mentioned an
archaic statue of Athena, perhaps copied from the one mentioned by
Pausanias (ii. 15, 1), by Dipoenus and Scyllis; Isis Pharia, Tyche, etc.

This remarkable coin, which probably belongs to the age of Alexander,
since it follows the Attic standard1, is of considerable archaeological
interest, corresponding as it does most minutely with the description
given by Pausanias (ii. 27) of the chryselephantine statue of Asklepios
at Epidaurus, the work of Thrasymedes of Paros, a pupil of Pheidias.
The dog beside the god is the animal which watched over him when as
an infant he was exposed on Mount Tittheion and suckled by a goat.
