10) Sibyls of antiquity - Sibyls as Prophetesses in the Ancient World. The next Coin display shows the sibyls of antiquity, especially the Cummaean Sibyl. The ancients believed that she may have been the same woman as the Erytraean Sibyl, Heirophile, who claimed to have been born near Troy! There are also coins related to Aeneas’s future and to the descendants of Aeneas whom he sees in the Underworld.
