The term Battle of Hysiae refers to two battles at the ancient location of Hysiae Polytonic , located to the southwest of Argos, near the modern village of Achladokampos . The first battle took place in 669 8 BC, another in 417 BC. Both were battles between Sparta and Argos . First battle The first Battle of Hysiae is described by the ancient travel writer Pausanias geographer Pausanias 2.24.7 , who writes as follows quote Here are common graves of the Argives who conquered the Lacedaemonians in battle at Hysiae. This fight took place, I discovered, when Peisistratos Peisistratus was archon at Athens , in the fourth year of the twenty seventh Olympiad , in which the Athenian, Eurybotus, won the foot race. On coming down to a lower level you reach the ruins of Hysiae, which once was a city in Argolis, and here it is that they say the Lacedaemonians suffered their reverse. trans W.H.S. Jones and H.A. Omerod The chronology of Pausanias would suggest that the battle was fought in 669 8 BC. All that is known is that the Argives defeated the Lacedaemonians. Some Andrewes have suggested that this Argive defeat of Sparta occurred when Pheidon was king or tyrant of Argos, since Pheidon was famed for his military success and daring, but this remains conjectural. Some scholars Kelly, Hall have suggested that the first battle of Hysiae was invented by the Argives. Second battle The second battle took place during the Peloponnesian War . It is described by the historians Thucydides 5.83.2 , who actually fought in the war, and Diodorus 12.81.1 , who wrote in the 1st century BC, over two hundred years later. Thucydides says that the Spartans marched against Argos in the winter of 418 417 BC with all their allies, but failed to take the city of Argos. The Spartans did, however, capture the Argive town of Hysiae, taking all the male citizens as hostages. The hostages were subsequently killed. References A.

Temenus, along with Cresphontes and Aristodemus were the three Dorians Doric leaders who invaded the Mycenaean Greece Mycenean Peloponnese region. Then they proceeded to divide the conquered territories between them. Cresphontes was given Messenia and Sparta Aristodemus took Laconia and finally Temenos was given Argos . Following the death of Temenos, the Princes argued about who should be king. One of them, Pheidon , defeated his brothers in battle and took over as kingship. Karanos then, decided to find another kingdom of his own, where he could be King. First, however he went to the Oracle of Delphi to ask Pythia s advice. You should find your kingdom there, where you will find plenty of game and domestic animals, was her advice. Thus Karanos and his entourage moved to the North, in search of suitable land to establish his new kingdom. Finally, he discovered a green valley, with a lot of game and goats, whereupon he thought that the prophecy of Pythia has been fulfilled. Thus he built a city there, which he named Aegae Aigai lang el , present day Vergina , a site of substantial archaeological activity, as numerous important findings have been unearthed.

A gold coin is a coin made mostly or entirely of gold. Gold has been used for coins practically since the History of coins invention of coinage , originally because of gold s intrinsic value. In modern times, most gold coins are intended either to be sold to coin collecting collectors , or to be used as bullion coin s&mdash coins whose nominal value is irrelevant and which serve primarily as a method of Gold as an investment investing in gold . Gold has been used as money for many reasons. It is fungible , with a low Bid offer spread spread between the prices to buy and sell. Gold is also easily transportable, as it has a high value to weight ratio, compared to other commodities , such as silver . Gold can be divided into smaller units, without destroying its value it can also be melted into ingots , and re coined. The density of gold is higher than most other metals, making it difficult to pass counterfeit s. Gold is extremely unreactive. The scarcity of gold stabilizes its value. History Antiquity see Sycee Gold was used in commerce besides other precious metals in the Ancient Near East since the Bronze Age , but coin s proper originated much later, during the 6th century BC, in Anatolia . The name of king Croesus of Lydia remains associated with the invention although the Parian Chronicle mentions Pheidon of Argos as a contender .
