<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 24652435, member: 43872"]I find the piece very interesting, and while the reference by willieboyd2 answers many questions, it leaves me with other questions unanswered. For example, why is the inscription in Greek? Eugene Beauharnais, having left Italy after the abdication of Napoleon, retired to Germany. Why the reverse inscription, "A man among men"? Is it posthumous, since the symbolic Roman armor is hanging as if taken off, or just after his retirement? Whatever, it is a nice medal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
