Mende, Macedonia, 520 - 480 B.C.
|Other| |Macedonia|, |Mende,| |Macedonia,| |520| |-| |480| |B.C.|, Mende was an ancient colony of Eretria, on the SW side of Cape Poseidion in Pallene. Its coins illustrate some forgotten myth of Dionysos, his companion Seilenos, and an ass. The wine of Mende was famous and is frequently mentioned by ancient writers. It is unlikely that Mende struck any coins after it was first captured by Philip in 358 B.C.
