You will rarely see such a beautiful coin anywhere in the annals of history. No larger than a fingernail, this electrum stater from Lampsakos (Greek polis on the eastern shore of the Hellespont) depicts Pegasos, with curved antique-style wings. 🏺 1/

520-480 BCE. #GettyVilla

This incredibly detailed electrum stater from Lampsakos depicting Pegasos (with antique-style curved wings - upper body only, no rear) is no bigger than a pinkie fingernail. It boggles the mind, thinking of how an artist engraved such a tiny coin stamp with so many details. Lampsakos was an ancient Greek city located in modern day Turkey, strategically situated on the eastern side of the Hellespont in the northern Troad. An inhabitant of Lampsakos was called a Lampsacene. Minted ca. 520-480 BCE. On loan to the Getty Villa from the American Numismatic Society (1967.152.411)

At Freunderlwirtschaft in Vienna- a really nice friendly beer-focussed cafe/bar/restaurant and only serves veggie/vegan food.

Drinking Oids Troad by Wolf, whose name apparently translates to 'old grain'. Has emmer and 'einkorn', both new to me! Really accomplished beer with a touch of rye-like bite

Kolonae (Troad): along with the whole #Troad, the city of #Kolonae was a #Trojan ally during the #Mycenaean war, with the name perhaps coming from 'col' or 'calach' for an eminence.

I liked Nolan throwing this in as an aside to say "This is a story about things happening *today*, you numbskulls", but Mycenae was nowhere near the Troad. I assume Aga's plan was to establish a colony there to levy tolls, but his premature trip to visit the Giver of Wealth put the kibosh on that

The best part of the Odyssey is when Agamemnon turns to the camera and says, "Trade wars are good and easy to win."

Yes, I recall! But I know I have perhaps been caught up too much in the symbolism of it, hopefully you are immune.

The Troad as depicted by Jean-Baptiste Le Chevalier in 1791.
archive.org/details/desc...

He argued that Homer's Troy had been in a separate location from classical Troy, at Pınarbaşı. He got both locations wrong.

This created centuries of confusion over whether Troy is really 'Troy'.

Close-up of the toepads of the diploid edition of North America's gray treefrog (Hyla chrysoscelis). You can tell this one is a male from the loose, gray skin on his throat.
A close-up photo of the head and right hand and toes of a frog. The photo was taken through the side of a glass aquarium while the frog was climbing on the inside of the aquarium. The frog's hand is pressed against the glass, and shows three fingers and a thumb. At the tip of each digit is a large, oval disc that the frog uses to cling to the glass. The frog's belly is creamy white, and the troad is dark grey with small, white dots. The frog's head is turned slightly so that part of the mouth and bulgy eye are also visible.
