<p>[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 4498266, member: 111037"]Great write-up. Ask any Greek today and they will tell you that the nation's greatest shortcoming has always been the tendency to fight each other... An old say would go like this: If someone gets a new goat, their neighbour would not wish to get a goat as well but for the other guy's goat to die. Nowdays this animosity translates to football (soccer for you Americans) rivalries, and politics (left vs right). The world could be very different today if there wasn't this in-fighting and Greeks were more united.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn't mind it if you post this coin in every thread, even if it is about chinese coins! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Last time you posted it I was trying to find out what happened to the larger ones (staters) to no avail.

The world could be very different today if there wasn't this in-fighting and Greeks were more united. I wouldn't mind it if you post this coin in every thread, even if it is about chinese coins! :) Last time you posted it I was trying to find out what happened to the larger ones (staters) to no avail. Are any of those in private hands? Any image of them on the internet?[/QUOTE]
