Battle Scene [reverse] c. 1484

This bronze medal, titled "Battle Scene [reverse]", was created by Gianfrancesco Ruberti della Grana in 1484. The medal depicts a scene of a battle, featuring a group of mounted soldiers in the center, with a fallen soldier on the ground. The inscription around the medal reads "FAV EAT FOR VOITS", likely referring to the victory of a particular military leader. This medal, measuring 5.1 cm in diameter, is a prime example of the artistic practice of the Renaissance period.
