After a recent talk with Mr. Bell, whom he has not met since they were at college together, on the meaning of the lotus on medals, he thought he would try to solve this mystery and submit for P’s opinion an essay on the lotus. He traces the subject back to Egyptian theology, referring to Iamblichus; and finds agreement between the devices on Roman coins and Egyptian hieroglyphics. He develops a learned argument with quotations from the Greek on the links between devices on Roman coins and Isis worship and the lotus flower on the head as a symbol of hope.
