Artemis, virtue, hunt & godess in chariot etc

Salvete Omnes,
there is so much beauty in ancient art, so here we go:

 
a quick collection of ancient images (mostly pottery and coins) related to Artemis, goddess of hunt and virtue, and horses, including ancient chariots.

Unusually, there is a detail (from two different examples of ancient pottery) showing Artemis in a chariot pulled by deer

ps
all images from wiki commons - there are many other images, including Roman era sculptures  on the funerary monuments
