Author Description

Excerpt from The History of Greece, From Its Commencement to the Close of the Independence of the Greek Nation, Vol. 2 of 4: The Fifth Century B. C I have to thank Mr. J. P. Six for the correction of a note on p. 15 of this volume. He informs me that the coins of Euelthon, owing to the thickness of their shape, undoubt edly belong to the middle of the sixth century, and that it is therefore quite justifiable to ascribe them to the potentate mentioned by Herodotus. On p. 233 it should be added that the larger non-athenian silver coins of the Athenian empire are extremely rare. There is still much to be done for the numismatic history of eastern Greece and Greece proper, whereas that of Sicil'y, ' for instance, is pretty well settled.
