"The eagle carrying a bull's head, which is a common occurrence from now [Commodus
Caesar] on, must refer to a foundation legend, like that told of Antioch on the Orontes,
of an eagle carrying part of a sacrificial animal to the spot where the new city was
destined to rise." A. R. Bellinger, Troy: The Coins, Princeton 1961, reprint Sanford
Durst 1979, p. 106.
