Commentary


Divisionnaire inhabituelle. Ce type avec l’ethnique dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre semble beaucoup plus rare que l’autre, Svoronos, ne signalant qu’un seul exemplaire, pl. 13, n° 33 provenant du Staatlische Museen de Berlin (2,09 g).
Unusual divisional. This type with the ethnic in counterclockwise direction seems much rarer than the other, Svoronos, reporting only one example, pl. 13, no. 33 from the Staatlische Museen in Berlin (2.09 g)

Historical background


ATTICA - ATHENS

(5th century BC)

The fortune of Athens in the 5th century rests largely on the recovery of the treasury of the League of Delos which contained no less than five thousand talents of silver and which served to enrich and embellish Athens by oppressing the Allies. The Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC) put an end to Athenian hegemony. Pericles (449-429 BC) did not live long enough to witness the fall of the city. Thucydides immortalized this conflict in his work devoted to the Peloponnesian War, of which he was one of the actors before being himself ostracized, that is to say exiled.
