Archaized

When used in classical numismatics, refers to a type struck in a later period (e.g., classical period or Hellenistic period) with intentionally archaic qualities, style, or character to suggest the archaic period.  The ancients appreciated and used older artistic styles, |just| as artists today create works in art Deco style, for example.  A portrait with an almond shaped facing eye, struck after eyes were normally were engraved in profile, is probably archaized.  Another example is a later coin of Corinth that depicts Pegasos with archaic style curled wings.
