<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 4053635, member: 110226&quot;]Hello</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a new member.&nbsp; I have collected world and ancient coins starting in 1980, which I guess dates me, but hopefully not in geological terms.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Over the past few years I have refocused my attention on the coinage of Attica, both Athenian and imitative.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that coin depicted above is not from Starr Group V.&nbsp; Still it is a beautiful, aesthetic example that is quite typical of the early mass production tetradrachms.&nbsp; I think it is more from the period of 460-455 BCE period, but I might be off; dating these coins is a matter of some controversy. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope, in the future to participate in other discussions.&nbsp; I have finished recently Thucydides&#039; <u>History of the Peloponnesian War</u> (431 - 404 BCE).&nbsp; It is the recounting of a war that ultimately lead to the fall of Athens. It is a tale of ambition, class warfare, greed, jealousy, treachery, military disaster and the struggle between democracy and aristocracy. Sound familiar?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
