Coin of Perge under Philip II 247 - 249

Editor: So, here we have a coin from Perge under Philip II. It looks so worn and dark, it makes me wonder about all the hands it passed through. What stories do you think it holds? Curator: It’s like holding a whisper of history, isn’t it? Imagine the bustling marketplace where it might have been used, the very real transactions. Think about the weight of power it represented! It's more than just metal; it’s a tangible link to a vanished world. Editor: It really puts things into perspective, thinking about history in something so small. Curator: Exactly! And, perhaps, a reminder that even empires, powerful rulers, eventually fade, leaving behind… coins. It’s oddly beautiful, don’t you think?
