Coin of Alexander the Great, Salamis c. 332

Editor: So, this is a coin – a "Coin of Alexander the Great, Salamis," attributed to Alexander himself. It looks incredibly small, almost like a forgotten relic. What story do you think it whispers? Curator: Ah, whispers indeed! To me, it's a tangible link to ambition, power, and the vastness of Alexander's world. Imagine holding his vision in your palm! The wear and tear? That's history etching its tale. Does it make you think about how fleeting even empires can be? Editor: Absolutely. I keep thinking about who held this coin, what they bought with it. It's incredible to consider its journey through time. I now see that this small object links us to such a rich past. Curator: Beautifully put. It's a reminder that even the smallest artifact can echo with the magnitude of human experience.
