Commentary


Le buste est rare.
L'administration des galères aime à user du mythe développé par Virgile : dans le 9ème livre de l’Énéide, Turnus entreprend de brûler les vaisseaux d'Enée mais Jupiter les sauve en les transformant en Néréides. Les sirènes tendent ainsi à revêtir au XVIIIe siècle une fonction quasi-emblématique pour cette administration qui est la seule à les représenter sur ses jetons.
