Hello all,
I don't know if people have been following the fantastic "History of the World in 100 Objects" series on BBC Radio 4. I must confess I haven't been able to keep up with it; but all the programmes so far are now available as free downloads on the BBC's special website.
Anyway, today's object was a Lysimachus coin with the head of Alexander. Worth a listen - only 15 minutes. One of the earlier objects discussed was the gold charioteer from the Oxus Treasure, which was also good.
