Saor Alba Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Sicily, Syracuse AE from the time of Timoleon ca. 410 BC. This is a fairly decent sized AE coin that is about USA half dollar sized, but about three times as thick. They were cast coins, not struck. The obverse has a portrait of Artemis, and the reverse the two dolphins and the star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(...unless you want me to go on about Timoleon himself, his life and times... ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
