HISTORICAL CONTEXT: This coin was minted in AIGINA between 490 - 450 BC. Aigina was an important trading port in the 6th and 5th Centuries BC. Although still important on the 5th and 4th centuries, it was eclipsed by Athens after the Persian wars. The city was captured by the Athenians in 456 BC and a quarter of the residence were expelled. In 404 BC, after the fall of Athens, the exiles were restored to their homes. These turtle coins are amongst the oldest coins ever produced and is the first European coin produced for TRADE PURPOSES.

Historical Context: Following the great victory of the Roman General Flamininus over Philip V of Macedon, in 197 BC. The freedom of the Greeks was proclaimed at Corinth and a number of new autonomous coinages were initiated. Coins in the name of the Thassalian League were probably minted at Larissa.

Historical note: Scipio the Elder (Scipio Africanus) wasknown as a Graecophile lifestyle, and his unconventional way of wearing the Roman toga, raised much opposition among the conservatives of Rome, led by Cato the Elder who felt that Greek influence was destroying old Roman culture and making the Roman men effeminate. Cato, as a loyalist of Fabius Maximus, had been sent out as quaestor to Scipio in Sicily circa 204 BC to investigate charges of military indiscipline, corruption, and other offense against Scipio; none of those charges were found true by the tribunes of the plebs accompanying Cato. (It may or may not be significant that years later, as censor, Cato degraded Scipio's brother Scipio Asiaticus (Asiagenius) from the Senate. It is certainly true that some Romans of the day viewed Cato as a representative of the old Romans, and Scipio and his like as Graecophiles.
