But on Athenian allied coinage- the New Style coinage in Gold and silver is star between TWO crescents-no doubt especially when the first magistrate is names as King Mithradates. The AE coinage Zeus hurling thunderbolt, (fulminating Zeus) with the Star between 2 crescents symbol is contemporary with the silver and gold.</p><p>But why TWO crescents?</p><p>What are the theories...I have never ever heard of a theory that accounts for this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
