<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 6324217, member: 12789&quot;][ATTACH=full]1250642[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>SICILY, Syracuse. Reign of Agathokles, c. 317-289 BC. AR 8-Litrai (6.85g). Head of Athena wearing Corinthian helmet left / Pegasus flying left, triskeles below. SNG ANS 684. A fascinating aspect of this coin is it&#039;s remarkable similarity to the well known Corinthian Staters from the same era. Like their modern descendants, ancient minters knew a good thing when they saw on it, and if they could improve upon the design all the better. What distinguishes this piece from the Corinth issues is the presence of the Sicilian &quot;Triskeles&quot; on the reverse of the piece under Pegasus. This &quot;Triskeles&quot; is symbolic of the island of Sicily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
