[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3375169, member: 85693"]Great write-up, Jochen. Marsyas is pretty much my favorite myth - a drunken bald guy taking on Apollo in a flute slam, only to be horribly punished. Tack on an MFA and you have the contemporary literary/academic music scene. One of the best representations of Marsyas in the Roman Forum is the Plutei of Trajan - reliefs showing scenes from Trajan's reign: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutei_of_Trajan[/url] Photo from Wikipedia (not the best for Marsyas - he is in shadows at the right under his fig tree - a Google image search will show better views): [ATTACH=full]895262[/ATTACH] If you want to hear somebody playing an auloi there are several YouTube videos - it is a rather haunting sound, I think, a bit strange to my rock n' roll ruined ears, but I rather like it [MEDIA=youtube]n7dzyzvXPeQ[/MEDIA] With singing: [MEDIA=youtube]4hOK7bU0S1Y[/MEDIA] As for coins, I have a few: Censorinus (with a die clash): [ATTACH=full]895261[/ATTACH] Severus Alexander Provincial: [ATTACH=full]895263[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
