  NEW COIN HOARD FOUND IN ATHENS
  

  Following another tip from The Explorator e-newsletter,
  Arthur Shippee writes: "A large coin hoard was found in the
  heart of Athens."
  

  "Scores of silver coins dating back well over two millennia
  have been unearthed in the heart of Athens, officials announced.
  

  More than five kilos (11 pounds) of silver pieces dating
  primarily from the 4th century BC were discovered in an
  excavation project of the American School of Archeology,
  a statement from the ministry of culture said.
  

  Some 45 of the silver pieces are believed to date back
  to the 5th century BC.
  

  The discovery at the Athens Agora -- the chief marketplace
  and ancient center of the city's civic life -- is of "considerable
  importance" because it represents one of the most sizable
  finds of its kind, the statement said."
