<p>[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 8318410, member: 118780"]One other avenue you could take would be to follow Philopoemen's history and pick up a coin that aligns with it. For example, he was born in Megalopolis in ~253 BCE. Therefore, this coin type would likely have still been in circulation, and perhaps as a toddler he swallowed one or two. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1473100[/ATTACH]</p><p style="text-align: center"><font face="Book Antiqua"><font size="4">Arkadia.

Ultimately, when it comes to these types of attributions, you make the rules. :)[/QUOTE]
