CNG has put the Triton XII auction catalog live on their website.
There are some very nice pieces including a tetradrachm of Pyrrhos of Epeiros.
A few years ago CNG started describing the Etrurian 'gorgon' coins as depicting Metus, the personification of Fear. I haven't noticed any other catalogers doing this. I wonder what lead to the change?
In Medusa: Solving the Mystery of the Gorgon Stephen Wilk theorizes some 'gorgons' might depict Fear and Dread, but he knows of no examples.
