The only medallist of Urbino now known was called Clemente, and, besides the portrait by him to be immediately noticed (No. I.), he is said to have ornamented the great hall of the palace with six round bas-reliefs of Duke Federigo's exploits. Seven medals of that prince have come to my knowledge, all of extreme rarity: the first five are described and engraved in the _Zecca di Gubbio_; the first, second, and fourth in the Trésor de Numismatique; the sixth is probably unnoticed elsewhere. The heads of all are in profile. No. I. A medallion of 3-5/8 inches diameter. The Duke's bust is in armour, on which are chased a Lapitha reducing a Centaur, and other emblematic devices; his cap, called by the French a _mortier_, is of the usual cinque-cento form, exactly resembling a round Highland bonnet. The legend is a Latin couplet, signifying, "HE COMES, ANOTHER CÆSAR AND ANOTHER ROMAN SCIPIO, WHETHER HE GIVES TO THE NATIONS PEACE OR FIERCE WARS." The reverse is redundant in allegory. In base, the eagle of Jove supports with extended wings a stage whereon are three devices,--the globe of command, with on one side a cuirass, buckler, and sword, and on the other a clothes-brush[205] and olive-branch; overhead are the planetary signs of Jupiter between Mars and Venus. On the vacant spaces are the names of the hero, "FEDERIGO THE INVINCIBLE, COUNT OF URBINO, A.D. MCCCCLXVIII.," and of the artist, "THE WORK OF CLEMENTE OF URBINO." The surrounding astrological legend runs thus:-- "THE FIERCE MARS AND VENUS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MIGHTY THUNDERER, UNITE TO GIVE YOU KINGDOMS, AND INFLUENCE YOUR DESTINY." [Footnote 205: Riposati mistakes this for a metal weight. The French work does not venture on any conjecture as to the object represented.] The date indicates this medal to have commemorated his campaign in Romagna against Colleone, in 1467, and notwithstanding the questionable taste of crowding in so many symbolical appendages, its merit is ranked high by Cicognara (see his eighty-sixth plate). No. II. A medal 1-6/8 inches across, which was probably cast at Naples in 1474, by order of Ferdinand, in honour of Federigo's visit and installation as a knight of the Ermine. Being no doubt prepared before his arrival, the likeness is not striking. Round the bust is "FEDERICO COUNT OF MONTEFELTRO, URBINO, AND DURANTE"; on the reverse, over a collared ermine, "ROYAL CAPTAIN-GENERAL. THE WORK OF PAULO DI RAGUSA." No. III. A similar but smaller medal, executed after he had been elevated to the dukedom. His head is bald, and the legend is "FEDERIGO THE MONTEFELTRIAN, URBINO'S DUKE;" over the ermine, "NEVER," the motto of the Order.
