<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ignoramus Maximus, post: 4562348, member: 104741&quot;]Thank you for the interesting read. Now you make me want to read the Anabasis!</p><p><br /></p><p>If I remember correctly Bertrand Russell mentions Xenophon as one of the two extant sources on Socrates in the &#039;History of Modern Philosopy&#039; (the other being Plato, of course).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m no expert on Achaemenid sigloi. Yours appears to be from group III, struck anywhere between 490 and 375 BC, so there is hope that yours is from the right period. The spear is telling for the period.</p><p>Given the wear on yours and my lack of expertise I can&#039;t tell you if yours is</p><p>an early ( IIIa) or late ( IIIb early and IIIb late). IIIb late would be ideal for you.</p><p>Numiswiki has an interesting page on them, &#039;Imperial Persian Great King Sigloi&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have one, luckily it&#039;s from the right period.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1129383[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
