Lot 3024
Sicily, Adranon, c. 344-336 BC. AE Litra (28 mm). Laureate head left of Apollo. Reverse: Kithara. Calciati III, p. 157, 1. Rare. Very Good to Fine.
The kithara was a technologically advanced lyre, having a sound box. The ancient Greeks employed over two hundred modes or scales (today we use only the major and minor ones for most all music). They believed that each mode affects the listener differently. So does the present writer.
Estimated Value $120 - 150.
