<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KLJ, post: 196267, member: 1910&quot;]True to a degree.&nbsp; Athens, Corinth, and Sparta were seperate city-states, and Lesbos was an independent state as well.&nbsp; However, there were alliances/empires.&nbsp; Lesbos was part of the Athenian &quot;empire&quot; (and one of only a handful of states allowed by the Athenians - who power was nautical based - to maintain a navy).&nbsp; Corinth and Sparta were in the same basic orbit (to call them allies would be a bit much).&nbsp; As a result, while not properly legal tender as we understand it, Athenian coins would have been accepted on Lesbos, and, to a lesser degree, Spartan in the very cosmopolitan Corinth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
