If we reach into pocket or purse today, our fingers may touch one or more coins. Though we may not think much of this action, for a time that coin is part of our life. If we use it to buy some goods or services, it passes on to other places, other adventures. When Alexander was creating his empire, a silver coin like this was a month's pay for a Macedonian army officer. The person who first held it then may have helped shape history in a hundred ways. The person who wears the coin in its radiant setting of gold is certain to make a little history on their own. - (FJ.5669)
