Just as [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER]&nbsp; acquired a coin from Aspendos so did I. </p><p>Aspendos Ar Stater or double siglos 330/325-300/250 BC Obv Two wrestlers grappling.

Tekin Series 5 SNG BN 114 10,47 grms 24 mm[ATTACH=full]1366045[/ATTACH]&nbsp; Tekin does observe that for some reason the obverse of this series of coins is less well engraved than the reverse. This series may have something to do with Alexander the Great and his relationship with the citizens of Aspendos. Initially he had made a deal which would have left Aspendos free of a Macedonian garrison in exchange for them sending to him what they had paid in tribute to the Persians. The citizens of Aspendos did not ratify this agreement so Alexander was compelled to march back to the city but this time he exacted much harsher terms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
