<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rg3, post: 2884294, member: 79213&quot;]Saw a nice article in the current National Geographic HISTORY magazine featuring the temple. In reading this, I made a potential connection regarding a new purchase:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]691820[/ATTACH] This is a 1/5-tet minted under Philip II. I loved the front facing portrait (and that is why I bid), but wonder if Artemis appears to honor &quot;her protection&quot; of Alexander during his birth. CNG claims this was minted after 348BC. The article discusses the legend of the 356 temple burning and ATG (carried down by Plutrach). Wonder if this is a bit of physical propaganda potentially supporting the legend. Thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: Just read about the distinction between the two Art-a-misses above, maybe my guess at a connection is bogus. The Artemis in my 1/5 has a quiver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
