<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 3288546, member: 84744&quot;]I think there should be separate lists for pre- and post-Alexander, and given Doug&#039;s original post I&#039;m assuming he&#039;s aiming at pre-Alexander.&nbsp; Also, I figure a list of Greek cities should actually be Greek, i.e. predominantly Greek speaking.&nbsp; So none of that Carthage/Phoenician/Persian stuff! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie81" alt=":shifty:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The only one I think is a must that hasn&#039;t been mentioned is Thebes.&nbsp; All five of these are musts, IMO:</p><p>Athens</p><p>Syracuse</p><p>Corinth</p><p>Thebes</p><p>Sparta (hard to represent with a coin from the classical period; maybe Sikyon?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Greece proper:</p><p>Aigina</p><p>Argos</p><p>Elis</p><p>Larissa (?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Other candidates:</p><p>Samos</p><p>Ephesos</p><p>Miletos</p><p>Mytilene</p><p>Apollonia Pontika</p><p>Massalia</p><p>Abdera</p><p>Thasos?</p><p>Byzantion</p><p>Cyrene</p><p>Knossos</p><p>Pella?</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s a total of 21!&nbsp; Maybe Rhodes too, but its importance is primarily post-Alex.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s Thebes:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]869452[/ATTACH] </p><p>Stater, dated to 368-364 BCE.&nbsp; Thebes dominated all of Greece from 371-362.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
