Hi
I've recently read a paper written by Corfù in 2011 "A new thesis for
Siglos and Dareikos".
In brief Corfù thinks that the
Achaemenid coinage could not be an imperial/regal coinage because it didn't circulate in the whole empire. Also in
Lydia there were other coins and not only sigloi and darics. It could be a civic coinage of a
mint in the satrapy of
Lydia.
Corfù adds other interesting reasons to support this thesis.
What do you think about this theory?
Thanks,
Matteo.
