- Abstract
While the local southern Palestinian issues imitating the Athenian pi-styled owls depicting the head of Athena with a profile eye are customarily dated to after 353 BCE, the assumption that their circulation ended with the Greco-Macedonian conquest is contested below, suggesting that not only were these coins circulating in Palestine late in the fourth century BCE, but they may have been issued as late as the first quarter of the third century BCE. Our arguments are primarily based on the archaeological context and composition of four different published and previously unpublished hoards.
