Very nice! We tend to think of that time and place as very primitive, no doubt with some kind of a barter economy. That may have been largely true, but that finely worked coin shows it wasn't entirely so at all.

She was buried with a shield and a dagger, so she’s a “warrior queen?”

How nice that scientists refrain from groundless conjecture in the service of transient fads in popular culture.
