<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 7716439, member: 96635&quot;]Late Lakedaimon coinage is scarce but not so &#039;rare&#039; that an average collector cannot own one, Lakedaimon started to mint silver fractions when they were part of the Achaian League and afterwards they struck silver coins in the 1st century and bronze coinage even longer well into the Roman sphere. The Kleomenes tetradrachm is an exception.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lakedaimon is the city state and it includes the main city Sparta, and even Sparta is not 1 city but a cluster of settlements around the valley of the Eurotas River. So if you have a coin from Lakedaimon, it is the question if it is from Sparta or if it is minted by the Perioikoi in other towns around Sparta. Even so, most likely these coins circulated in Sparta nonetheless. During the mintage of these coins, Spartans were not that &#039;Spartan&#039; anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
