Description

The listing, 400-350 B.C. Greek Empire - Thrace Maroneia Bronze Coin - Horse and Grapes has ended.

Just imagine holding in the palm of your hand a 2,300-year-old coin that circulated in ancient Greece! Individually minted by hand, this coin comes from the ancient city-state of Maroneia, a leading center of trade on the shores of the Aegean Sea. This coin advertised the wealth and wine of Maroneia, the same city Homer spoke of in The Odyssey. It was the strong wine of Maroneia that wily Odysseus used to make the Cyclops drunk, permitting his escape from the Cyclops` cave! This bronze coin bears a prancing horse on the obverse and grape vines within a square on the reverse. See photos for condition. Dime shown for size reference only. Must have verified address. All Listia rules apply. Shipping is FREE in the US, $5 shipping to Canada. Thanks for looking! Check out my other auctions!

I have been collecting ancient coins and artifacts for over 30 years, this coin came from a reputable coin dealer and was found in the Mediterranean region. If you need a document, just print off a copy of my auction ad.
