[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 6370213, member: 84744"]What a fantastic writeup, [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER]! I can always count on learning a lot about my own coins from reading your excellent research pieces. Thank you! For anyone wanting to learn about Themistokles through fiction, I can recommend [URL='https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1597813.Farewell_Great_King']Farewell Great King[/URL] by Jill Paton Walsh. I have a new photo of my Leukippos type: [ATTACH=full]1252204[/ATTACH] It's only 5.5mm and 0.21g so might be a tetartemorion. Hard to tell with these tiny ones.
