<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 8204567, member: 72790&quot;]Yes. This is from a book by Norman Davis published in Britain in 1967 where the author talks (pp 22 and 23) about the iron money of the Peloponnese. The book is, &quot;Greek Coins &amp;&nbsp; Cities&quot;. He calls these iron spits &quot;obols&quot; and describes them as iron rods or spits of about three feet&nbsp; length and a handful of six made a drachma a term which he says was later used for a silver coin of value equal to that handful of iron spits. There is a printed image on the hard cover of the book and on p. 22 there&nbsp; is a photograph. Since I am uncertain of whether it is permissible to make and post a photograph from&nbsp; a copywrited publication i am not including the photo but the spits are shown as pretty thin and you may be able to find the book on line with that photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
