<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 3454203, member: 38412&quot;]After Attica-Athens, other Greek cities tried to follow up with the new &quot;Monetary Civilization&quot;if I dare say. They minted similar coins and began diffusing the&quot; modern economy&quot;at that time. Soon many cities outside Greece itself decided to say &quot;Farewell to Barter&quot;. Those could be Sicily or even Antioch.</p><p>In ancient numismatics, such issues outside Attica might be called &quot;Ancient Imitation&quot;. But the fact might not be that, I think. The idea of Maria Theresa coins comes often to mind when thinking of those Ancient Imitations. They were not a forgery. They do represent the expansion of the new monetary era.</p><p>That might lead us perhaps to a new thread which could reveal the first or next steps in our early civilization.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
