Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/13/2019 7:17 pm Cherronesos was a town in Caria, apparently affiliated with Athens. Its precise location hasn't been determined. Since this is believed to date to between 400 to 350 BC, I'm supposing that it wouldn't be considered archaic despite its style. I have it as BMC 13. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

That was my initial impression also, but apparently it's supposed to represent either an ivy or a fig leaf. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
