A New Obol of Hippias of Athens

Résumé En

The aim of this paper is to present a second specimen of an Athenian-type obol with the signature of Hippias which has recently appeared in trade, and to offer some reflections on the significance of such a coin. It is also argued that the obols of Hippias could give a chronological indication about the date of the introduction of the owl coinage in Athens.
