οὐδέ κέ τίς μιν γηθήσειεν ἰδών, οὐδ᾽ εἰ θεὸς ἀντιάσειεν

derspatchel and I saw this coin at the MFA on Friday night. It's a silver tetradrachm from Akragas, 414–413 BCE; it's on display in the new Gallery of Ancient Coins. The reverse is the most beautiful depiction of Skylla I think I have ever seen.



It looks even better in person.

Is there a poem in that? Because I'd read it.

I don't know! I was just talking to you and that happened. (I said you were a good inspiration.)
