[QUOTE="Ignoramus Maximus, post: 6190264, member: 104741"]Thanks for the link, [USER=104887]@Broucheion[/USER]. That particular paper I hád downloaded:). I browsed it just now, and I believe the author mentions the paper I had in mind in passing. If memory serves right it was Corfu 2010: 'Die sogenannten Achamenidischen Bogenschutzenmunzen: Die Herkunft von Dareikoi und Sigloi'. ( The so-called Achaemenid archer-coins: the origin of dareikoi and sigloi). Not sure if it ever was translated. I thought it was a good read; among other things, it had an interesting numerical and geographical breakdown of sigloi hoard-finds. Sadly, I have no active subscription to Academia right now. Also, I'm flat broke, so a renewal will have to wait.:( Reminds me (in a non-sequitur sort of way) of the (alleged) story of the Pantikapaion bronzes. At some point all circulating coins of the issue were countermarked and the non-countermarked were no longer valid. They then happily continued the series with the countermark readily engraved into the dies before they were struck. I bid on this one, but, sadly, didn't win it: [ATTACH]1245740[/ATTACH] pic.
