Text Appearing Before Image:
where a man rests upon a rockand dolphin, and toys with a mother and child, is equallysuggestive. The male is repeatedly characterised as a rock,hermes, menhir, tolmen, or upright stone, the female by thedolphin, or fish. The result of the junction of theseelements appears in the child, whom both parents welcome.The fourth figure represents two emblems of the malecreator, a man and trident, and two of the female, a dolphinand ship. The two last figures represent a coin of Apamea,representing Noah and the ark, called Cibotus, Bryantlabours to prove that the group commemorates the storytold in the Bible respecting the flood, but there is strongdoubt whether the story was not of Babylonian origin. Thecity referred to was in Phrygia, and the coin appears to havebeen struck by Philip of Macedon. The inscription roundthe head is ATT. K. lOVA ^lAinnOC. ATT.; on thereverse, ERMA. VP. AA.
