The
Legend of the
Boy on the Dolphin
|
|
|
Most
Greek cities had foundation mythologies, which tell
of the circumstances under which a city was founded.
Perhaps the most interesting of all is that of the
south Italian city of Taras, which was originally
populated by people from the Greek city of Sparta,
but was founded with the help of the gods. read

Ultimate Greek Coin

designs on coins are often laden with symbolism.
Kings, queens and presidents have used them to express
ideas or to display their own likeness. The ancient
Greeks were notorious for their love of symbolism,
and on this coin of the legendary Greek king and
conqueror, 'Alexander the Great,' we find some of
the best ever produced. read

A
Celebration of Prosperity
|
|
|
Along the Phoenician Coast were a number of large
and prosperous cities that specialized in seafaring
and trade. In the northern part of Phoenicia, directly
across from the island of Cyprus, was Aradus, an
island-city which also controlled much of the surrounding
mainland. Representing the city's great prosperity
is the goddess Tyche, who originally was the goddess
of chance, but by the time this coin was struck
had evolved to represent prosperity, and had cities
under her special protection. read
