Alita, If you want answers to your questions you really should read Andrew's book first. From your post it seems that you haven't yet. I think you would enjoy it. As for Alexander being in St. Mark's tomb, that is not really what his book is about. It is only in the last few pages of the book that h...

...many thanks... You're very welcome! Definitely many articles of interest here, although I only knew details of a couple of them in advance. I could not find any of the articles listed anywhere either. So I manually typed them here because I was sure others would want to know. Yes, the chapter on...

Thanks for passing that on to Craig. That was nice of him to offer to send Volume 19 but I will resend a check. It is possible he never got it and I only want to do what is right. And maybe he has very aggressive spam filters. So I will be mindful of what I write and I will send it from a couple dif...

Andrew, I would like to get that issue of AHB with your article The Journal of Alexander the Great but... Since you are obviously in contact with Craig Cooper, an editor of Ancient History Bulletin, can you confirm with him that the address and email listed on http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/faculty/classic...

jasonxx, sorry, I guess we kind of hijacked your thread when we started talking about this gold coin. So to your original question. I have never come across any mention of a lost treasure of Alexander. Since, unlike a pirate, Alexander had no need to hide any treasure I would think the places where...

The main problem I have with this coin is, as Andrew mentioned, the scaly aegis. (the chevron/arrow pattern in the collar area). In the article Early Tetradrachms of Ptolemy I by Orestes H. Zervos, ANS Museum Notes 13, Zervos notes that the scaly aegis was first used in a small transitional issue th...

(I wrote this up last night in response to Andrew's earlier post but I had not posted it yet. Andrew, that's an interesting point about the similarity between the gold coin and the later Ptolemy tetradrachms. I will have to think about that one.) _________________________ I am so excited about this...

I think this is a confusion of Alexander's entry into Cyropolis, I think, via a dry water course and an earlier Assyrian ruse whereby the river was dammed as it exited the city causing it to flood and undermine the walls, cut to atrocity... Maybe an Assyrian king besieged Ecbatana in a previous cen...
