Athens, Attica, Greece, c. 104 - 103 B.C., New Style Tetradrachm
|Athens|, |Athens,| |Attica,| |Greece,| |c.| |104| |-| |103| |B.C.,| |New| |Style| |Tetradrachm|, The "New Style" tetradrachms were issued by Athens as a semi-autonomous city under Roman rule. The new-style Owls are markedly different from the Owls of Periclean Athens or the "eye in profile" Athena head of the Fourth Century. They were struck on thinner, broad flans, typical of the Hellenistic period, with a portrait of Athena that reflected the heroic portraiture of the period. The owl now stands on an amphora, surrounded by magistrates' names and symbols, all within an olive wreath. The amphora is marked with a letter that may indicate the month of production. Letters below the amphora may indicate the source of the silver used in production.
