There is a small exhibit at the archaeological museum in Barcelona with a dozen coins on display from 5th to 3rd C. BC. The
legend of the description is:
Monedas de plata de la seca d'Emporion
and the first
part of that is easy to read (silver coins of the ...) so the question is, for our
Spanish or Catalan-fluent friends here, what is 'seca d'Emporion'. Just a reasonable guess that 'seca' could refer to a dry
area ?
