BOETE, AMAURY (Flem.). Mint-master at Vilvorde, 358 (?)-r 37i.
BOETHOS (B.D.M., Vol. I, I904, p. 205). From Duffield's,
Engraved Gems, p. 89, I quote the following: "Furtwangler places
Boethos in the Hellenistic age, on the strength of the cameo showing Philoktetes fanning his wounded leg and signed, BOHOOV. Gem
and signature are unquestionably genuine. Pausanias, Cicero and
Pliny all tell of a Boethos who seems to have been a native of
Chalkedon and was a famous silver-chaser early in the third century B.C. They do not speak of him as engraving gems, but that
he did such work, too, is a reasonable supposition, especially if the
report be accurate of the bronze Herm of Dionysos, signed by
him, recently found in the sunken galley which the "French have
discovered off the coast of Tunis ".
