Coin of Perge under Philip II 247 - 249

Editor: So, this is a coin of Perge under Philip II. It's small, obviously, but weighty in its own way at 4.43 grams. It feels like holding history. What do you see in it? Curator: I see power rendered fragile by time, yet stubbornly present. Don't you think the worn surface whispers secrets? Imagine the hands it has passed through, the stories it could tell, if only coins could talk! Editor: Definitely makes you wonder. Thanks for that perspective. Curator: My pleasure! It's a reminder that art isn't always grand; sometimes, it's in the smallest, most overlooked objects.
