title: Andreas Vesalius and the Occo medals of Augsburg. Evidence of a professional friendship.
abstract: The friendly connection that existed between Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) and his learned friends in Augsburg comprised three periods in the life of the emperor's court physician. The close ties that must have connected Adolphus Occo II and III and Vesalius are expressed in a number of medals carrying their images.
