The Summits of Pindus, on Each a Flaming Vase [reverse] 1555

"The Summits of Pindus, on Each a Flaming Vase" is a bronze medal created by Italian Renaissance artist Pier Paolo Galeotti in 1555. The medal depicts a mountainous landscape with two peaks, each topped with a vase and a flame. The detail of the medal highlights the skill of Galeotti in creating a three-dimensional effect with the use of relief. It also includes a winged horse, representing Pegasus, flying above the landscape. The inscription around the edge of the medal is "NON VLLI OBNOXIA VENTO", which translates to "Not subject to any wind." This is a reference to the mountain's strength and resilience, highlighting the power of nature.
