micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 04/17/2021 05:59 am Thank you Bob! Is helping a lot that my first language is Greek and also that the coin it was very challenging. It was critical to understand the location of the coin (searching all the Sicilian cities understanding which of them can end with ...ΩΝ) After I figure that out it helped a great article of Novicius I found during my search http://goccf.com/t/388104#3321863 that he opened me a new path to search also for the two brothers instead of searching for two warriors. After I connected all the pieces of the puzzle I manage to figure it out. I spend some time but the story behind of the Katane brothers is amazing. Report this Post to the Staff
