Even in modern times, there's something magical about that place. It's not in best condition (understatement), but I think the most important elements of the coin's imagery is present. And it's poor condition allowed me to snatch it up for a fair price, especially considering the current market condition. This is my second Greek coin. I have trouble attributing it, since I lack online and offline resources as I'm mainly Roman orientated.
