On the other hand, cool impulse pickup, Oki!

 

Hey man, don't shoot the messenger.

We've all heard Hollywood's version of ancient music in countless movies. But in fact, what the ancients considered music was often very VERY different from what we're accustomed to.

That's the longest neck I've ever seen on Athena. Sometimes coins give you a clue as to the order in which the devices were engraved. In this case, it looks like the engraver made the body too low, or the spear too high, and said, "Oh well, I'll just give her a giraffe neck."
