Phil Anthos Posted January 13 · Member Posted January 13 (edited) Seleucia ad Calycadnum - Metapontum (or Metapontion if you prefer) Metapontum, Lucania 470-440 BC AR Diobol (11mm, 0.82g). O: Ear of barley with six grains. R: Incuse barley grain; annulet to left. Noe 304; HN Italy 1488 ex Agora Auctions; ex Artifact Man Metapontum was located on the Gulf of Taras between the rivers Bradanus and Casuentus. This ideal location, lying on a richly fertile plain, would provide the Metapontines with the abundant grain harvests from which they became both wealthy and influential. By the fifth century Metapontum had grown so prosperous that she paid an annual tribute to Delphi in the form of a "golden harvest" (Strabo), thought to be a sheaf of grain fashioned from gold. ~ Peter Edited January 13 by Phil Anthos 8 Quote
