Some Notes on the Relative Chronology of the Fifth- and Fourth-Century BCE Coinage of Philistia

Abstract

This article reassesses the relative chronology of the fifth- and fourth-century-BCE Philistian
coins against the recent suggestion of an intermediate three-quarter profile eye phase in the
depiction of the eye of Athena on Athenian issues. The article also discusses a new coin type
that combines the Athenian-styled head of Athena on the obverse and the Aeginetan-styled
tortoise on the reverse.
