Note | On some coins, like 1626.19, 25 or 26, the bull wears clearly an isiac basileion between the horns. On this extremely interesting iconography, see R. Veymiers, "Le basileion, les reines et Actium", in L. Bricault & M.J. Versluys (eds.), Power, Politics and the Cults of Isis, Leiden 2014, p. 195-236 (esp. p. 195-6). |
