Abstract

Preliminary report on a ca. 400-piece hoard of 4th-century pi-style tetradrachms excavated in 2005 from beneath the floor of a public office in the Athenian Agora, together with publication of two other notable Athenian tetradrachms from the recent excavations. One of these tetradrachms belongs to the earliest 4th-century coinage to depict Athena with a profile eye. It is proposed that this early profile-eye coinage began probably in the 380s or 370s and was replaced by the mechanical and hastily struck pi-style silver in the later 350s.
