Note 280 — Chapter II · Athens

Reading edition

E.g. P. Gardner, Earliest Coins of Greece Proper, p. 28; Hill, Hist. Gk. Coins, p. 17; v. Fritze, Zeits. f. Num. XX. (1897), pp. 153–5, emphasizing the connexion of Peisistratus with silver as well as with Athena; Lermann, Athenatypen, pp. 3 f.

For a somewhat earlier date see Head, Num. Chron. 1893, pp. 249, 251; Earle Fox, Corolla Numismat. B. V. Head, p. 43; Svoronos, Journ. Int. d’Arch. Num. XIV. (1912), p. 3, nos. 1109–1120; Seeck, Klio, IV. (1904), p. 176 (Solon or even Draco).

For a date after Peisistratus see Imhoof-Blumer, Howorth, Six, and (Neue Jahrb. 1896, pp. 537 f.) Gilbert, all completely answered by Head, Num. Chron. 1893, pp. 247 f.; Babelon, J. I. d’A. N. 1905, pp. 12–16. Holwerda, Album Herwerden, p. 117, who follows Six, only adds some inconclusive comparisons with Greek sculpture.
