It is said Alexander put some people to death because they wanted to give him coins instead of the food his army needed

It should be fun. I should be finishing off the others I’ve started instead of doing this. :^)

A silver one of these coins was brought into "Pawn Stars" a few years ago and the seller was asking $150K. Rick offered him $110K which he turned down.

Do we have any other metal detectorists here? I’m loving my new XP Deus II, but I haven’t found any gold coins just yet. I love these type of stories.

If it says ‘400 BC’ on the coin, you’ve been hustled.

That’s right, it should say 400 BCE.

It’s a Greek Coin. The owl reminds me of Bubo in the movie Clash of the Titans.

The owl was symbolic of Athena, for whom Athens was named.

For most Romans, nightlife consisted of drinking and gambling in the local tavern. But for members of the elite, it could be an epic progress from mansion to mansion and party to party, sometimes with a few dive bars between. Bars and Nightlife in Ancient Rome | May 2022 | toldinstone
