Note 798 — Chapter VI · Argos

Pace Macan, Hdt. IV.-VI., vol. I. p. 382. See e.g. Hill, Hist. Greek Coins, p. 4; Regling ap. Pauly Wissowa s.v. Geld, p. 975; about the middle of the seventh century, Head, Hist. Num.2 p. 394; rather after than before 650, Willers, Roem. Kupferpräg. pp. 8–9, Svoronos, J. I. d’A. N. V. p. 44; about 620 Earle Fox, Corolla Num. B. V. Head, pp. 40, 46; there is no specific evidence either way, but the earlier date seems much more probable, particularly since the discovery of the Cretan and Cyprian dumps and the coins from Ephesus discussed in the preceding chapter.
