Commentary
Exemplaire issu du médaillier Franklin qui met à l’honneur L’Aurige de Delphes : Cette statue faisait partie d’un ensemble composé d’un char, de deux chevaux et d’un serviteur. Il a été détruit lors d’un tremblement de terre et d’un glissement de terrain au alentour de 373 av. J.-C. Seul l’aurige d’1,80 m. a été retrouvé (à l’exception de son bras gauche). Il a été découvert entre le 28 avril et le 1er mai 1896 à Delphes, au nord de la Voie sacrée, entre le temple d'Apollon et le théâtre, au cours des fouilles du site par Homolle, Bourguet et Convert de l'École française d'Athènes, sous la direction de Théophile Homolle.
Cette statue est conservée au musée archéologique de Delphes.
Médaille sculptée par Jane Lunger.
Théoriquement, le poinçon crabe est censé indiquer un titrage à 800 millièmes.
example from the Franklin medallist, which features The Charioteer of Delphi: This statue was part of a set consisting of a chariot, two horses, and a servant. It was destroyed during an earthquake and a landslide around 373 BC. Only the 1.80 m tall charioteer was found (except for his left arm). It was discovered between April 28 and May 1, 1896, in Delphi, north of the Sacred Way, between the Temple of Apollo and the theater, during excavations of the site by Homolle, Bourguet, and Convert of the French School of Athens, under the direction of Théophile Homolle. This statue is kept at the Archaeological Museum of Delphi. Medal sculpted by Jane Lunger. Theoretically, the crab mark is supposed to indicate a fineness of 800 thousandths
