MAMILIA C. Mamilius Limetanus 82 B.C. Bust of Mercury on the right, wearing a winged cap. Behind, caduceus. R/. Ulysses walking on the right, recognized by his dog Argos. In the field, C. MAMIL and LIMETAN. ♦ Crawford 362/1; Syd 741; Babelon (Mamilia) 6. Silver serrated denarius Rome 83 bc (3.91 g). Interesting subject. Very nice. Argos is the dog of Ulysses, who, faithful to his master, recognized him immediately, after twenty years of absence, at his return from the Trojan war. Odysseus' disguise as a beggar did not deceive him. As soon as he saw him, he died on the spot.
