Presents the Greek coins of the Myron hoard, found in Thessaly in 1914. First publication in Greek (Archaeologicon Deltion, 1916).
On May 20th, 1914, a group of five masons and tile-makers were digging clay soil to make bricks in the site called Lákkoi Sophoulē, about 200 metres beyond the village Myros, Thessaly. While digging, they found an almost destroyed ceramic pot containing about 1600 silver Greek coins, bearing impressions, portraits and animal images; the hoard was finally delivered to the Athens' Numismatic Museum. According to the author's opinion, this hoard probably was the treasury of an allied military corps in a campaign against Thessaly. A detailed description of these coins is published in this book, also depicting the differences among them in twenty plates.
