About this listen

The second episode examines the famous Naxos coin from an historic perspective. By exploring the story of Naxos, from its foundation in the eighth century BC to its destruction at the end of the fifth century BC, Tim seeks to provide an historical backstory for the famous coin that it produced. What we discover is that this was a small city, more follower than leader and frequently a victim rather than victor.

So, how is it that 'Little Naxos' produced one of the most important and prized of all Ancient Greek coins?
