Repubblica romana. C. Hosidius C.f. Geta, 64 a.C. Denarius

Obv: Diademed and draped bust of Diana to right, with bow and quiver over shoulder; III•VIR downwards behind, GETA downwards before Rev: The Calydonian boar standing to right, its front legs thrust forward, pierced through by a spear and harried by a hound below; C•HOSIDI•C•F in exergue. Good Extremely fine, Excellent metal, old cabinet toning *Sharp details* According to Havercamp, the reverse type refers to the great hunting parties with which the birthday of Augustus was celebrated so magnificently in 20 BC. Diana (Artemis) on the obverse and the wild boar on the reverse could be a reference to a Greek myth. The story of Diana and the Caledonian boar revolves around the Caledonian boar hunt, a significant event that was triggered by King Oeneus ignoring the goddess Diana (Artemis) when making an offering. In retaliation, Diana sent a monstrous boar, the Calydonian boar, to ravage the land of Calydon. To combat this threat, Oeneus' son Meleager gathered a group of famous heroes, including the experienced huntress Atalanta. The mighty boar posed a great challenge during the hunt, allowing the heroes to put their courage and skill to the test. Meleager, motivated by his affection for Atalanta, finally dealt the wild creature a fatal blow. However, conflicts arose over the boar's coveted hide, which led to a tragic twist. Meleager killed his uncles in the ensuing quarrel, incurring Diana's wrath. Out of grief for the Calydonian boar, Diana transformed Meleager into a wild boar, illustrating the unpredictable consequences of mortal interaction with the divine. **shipping only in EU**
