my goddaughters name is
Larissa.
when her mother named her that 16 years ago, neither she
nor her father (my good friend Ed)
had ever heard of the Greek city-state,
nor were they aware that some of the most beautiful coins ever struck originated there. of course i informed them immediately.
some years later Ed purchased a replica coin necklace for
Larissa, and just this week he got a tattoo to
honor his lovely daughter.
the picture is not
very good (taken from a cell phone), but i think it's pretty cool...
