500 ancient Greek coins, selected from among the some 10,000 in the Alpha Bank Collection, that present in the most vivid manner the ideological underpinnings of the successive changes in the ancient Greek world: its history and geography, its thought, art and life. They constitute invaluable witnesses to the texture and temperament of a lost age, providing connecting links forthe reconstruction of the severed chain of continuity, while at the same time being instructive, thought-provoking and delightful to the eye.
