Seller's Note/ Apollo Vejovis is a numismatic and mythological label for a youthful, mysterious Roman deity depicted on 1st-century BC Roman Republican coins who shares the physical features of the Greek god Apollo, but wields or is accompanied by the destructive thunderbolts and attributes of the underworld/healing god Vejovis.
