History and Archeology / Carbonised Herculaneum papyrus reveals burial place of Plato

« Last post by Victor C on Today at 08:28:19 pm »

"Archaeologists already knew that Plato was buried somewhere in the Platonic School in Athens, however, this latest revelation has pinpointed his burial to a private garden near the so-called Museion or sacellum sacred to the Muses.

Furthermore, the text has revealed that Plato was sold as a slave following the conquest of the island of Aegina by the Spartans sometime around 404 BC to 399 BC."

Roman Provincial Coins Discussion Forum / Curious to know if anyone has any thoughts regarding this coin from Corinth

« Last post by DRVSVS on Today at 03:42:41 pm »

Agrippa Postumus - Corinth. Except it is 'Cornith' or at least looks that way, unless it is an optical illussion. A search on RPC of 'Corinth SIC' reveals thirty or so types with errors in spelling from this location. Could that explain this mistake or is there a more sinister explanation. It seems odd that such a coin would be forged as I found it misattributed to another description at auction.
