Coin of Perge under Philip II 247 - 249

Editor: Here we have a "Coin of Perge under Philip II," artist Philip II. Looking at this little bronze disc, I immediately think of age, endurance, maybe even loss. What do you see in this piece? Curator: I see a whisper of power, a material echo across millennia. Imagine the hands it passed through, the transactions it facilitated, the stories it could tell. It's like holding a tiny piece of a vanished world. And consider Philip II himself, father of Alexander the Great – quite the family legacy, isn't it? Editor: It's incredible to consider how much history a small coin can carry. Thanks for sharing your insight! Curator: My pleasure! It's all about finding the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary, don't you think?
