ΔΕΞΑ
Hey! Look at that! YaBB 2.1 does Greek!
Anyone better versed want to chime in on this? The glans in the photo uses a "fancy" A, the Xi has little serifs/booties and it looks like there is something afterward... Did the ancients use exclamation points?
edit-nope it doesn't look like it. The glans in the photo looks like it says
ΔΕΞΑΙ
or DEXAI, which is what at least a couple of references also record (Foss, Clive. "A Bullet of Tissaphernes." The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 95, 25-30. 1975.)
Note that the design on the other face is a "winged thunderbolt". I worked my way through google on that one... Interesting stuff! You don't see many old fashioned thunderbolts around these days (unless you know where to look
) but they used to be everywhere. Makes one trend toward conspiracist leanings...
