| Fonctions : | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal#:~:text=First attested in English in,coin worth half a denarius. The first known instance of a medal being awarded comes from the historian Josephus who, writing long after the event, accounts that in the second century BCE, the High Priest Jonathan led the Hebrews in aid of Alexander Balas, and that in return for this, Alexander "...sent to Jonathan... honorary awards, as a golden button, which it is custom to give the king's kinsmen." Roman emperors used both military awards of medals, and political gifts of medallions that were like very large coins, usually in gold or silver, and die-struck like coins.[7] Both these and actual golden coins were often set as pieces of jewellery, worn by both sexes. |
