Phrygillus, was an ancient Greek artist, who appears to have been one of the most ancient, as well as one of the most celebrated medallists and engravers of precious stones. There is a very beautiful intaglio by him, representing Love seated and supporting himself on the ground, in the attitude of those figures of boys playing the game of astragals, which so often occurs in the works of ancient art. The form of the letters of the name ΦΡVΓΙΛΛ, the large size of the wings of the figure of Love, and the whole style of the gem, concur to show that the artist belonged to the earlier Greek school. There is also engraved upon this gem a bivalve shell, which also occurs on the coins of Syracuse; whence it may be inferred that the artist was a Syracusan.

  • Frigilo o Phrygillos (Φρυγίλλος) fue un lapidario (medallista y grabador de monedas)​ griego activo a finales del siglo V a. C. en Siracusa y otras ciudades de la ​ y la Magna Grecia. La firma ΦΡVΓΙΛΛ aparece en una gema incisa que representa un Eros mientras juega a las tabas. La autenticidad de la pieza no está establecida con certeza.​ Para Winckelmann (que recoge la firma como ΦΡVΓΙΛΛΟΣ) es "una de las piedras más antiguas que muestran el nombre del artista"; la juzgaba "hermosa", y la pone como ejemplo de que "en las piedras grabadas más antiguas Amor no aparece representado como un niño de corta edad, sino con la naturaleza de un adolescente", indicando que era propiedad "del comendador Vettori en Roma".​ ​ atribuye al mismo tallista monedas siracusanas con la firma ΦΡΥΓΙΛΛΟΣ (tetradracmas) y ΦΡΥ (dracmas y ).​ Algunas monedas tienen uno de sus cuños con la firma de otro artista, como ΕΥΘ ​ o ΕΥΑΡΧΙΔΑ.​ También existen monedas de Turios, concretamente dos estáteros conservados en el British Museum con las referencias HN Italy 1771 y 1881,​​​ que llevan las letras ΦΡΥ. ​ sugiere que se trata de la firma de Frigilo. Esta hipótesis no es compartida por ,​ que nota una diferencia estilística que le hace proponer otro "taller" cuyo nombre llevara las mismas letras iniciales.​ Otras monedas con la letra Φ se consideran provenientes de distintos centros de la Magna Grecia: Heraclea, Terina, Velia, etc. Gardner también supone que pueden tratarse de obras de Frigilo;​ pero las opiniones de estudios más recientes no sostienen tal hipótesis.​​ (es)

There is also engraved upon this gem a bivalve shell, which also occurs on the coins of Syracuse; whence it may be inferred that the artist was a Syracusan. This conjecture becomes a certainty through the fact, recently published by Raoul-Rochette, that there exist medals of Syracuse, on which the name of Phrygillus is inscribed. One medal of this type is in the possession of R. Rochette himself, who has given an engraving of it on the title-page of his Lettre a M. Schorn, by the side of an engraving of the gem already mentioned. Another medal of this type is in the collection of the Duc de Luynes. The same collection contains another very beautiful Syracusan medal, in bronze, bearing the inscription ΦΡΥ, which no one can now hesitate to recognise as the initial letters of the name Phrygillus. Raoul-Rochette accounts these three medals to be among the most precious remains of ancient numismatic art. The identification, in this instance, of a distinguished medallist and gem-engraver, goes far to settle the question, which has been long discussed, whether those professions were pursued by the same or by different classes of artists among the Greeks (en)
