[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 3593079, member: 51347"]Good luck! I remembered his story from over 40 years ago as told by Prof J Rufus Fears. I had been browsing several sites, looking for Achaemenids, just looking. BAMM! I saw the name! ...and... Captured! Next! I like this Siglos as it was minted and/or circulated during the Last Achaemenid Shahanshah of Persia’s lifetime. Perhaps this coin helped finance that Battle of Granicus or others during the Fall of Persia...
