Coins from Alexander the Great found in Syria
More than 250 silver coins dating back to the time of Alexander the Great were unearthed in northern Syria, a Syrian archaeologist said Thursday. The coins date from the Hellenic period, which ranges from 4th to the 1st centuries B.C. after Macedonian warrior-king Alexander the Great spread Greek culture into Middle East and beyond with his conquests.

2 Hellenistic kingdoms: The GREEK world penetrated deep into Central Asia in the centuries after the invasion of Alexander the Great. The coins of the Greek kings of Bactria and north-western India illustrate the mingling of GREEK and native cultures. This coin shows a GREEK king wearing a local headdress on the obverse and the GREEK god Poseidon, representing the Indian trident-bearing god Shiva, on the reverse.

Topix Spotlight
Daily Horoscope for May 21
Aquarius
There simply aren't enough hours in the day today for you to do everything that's on your list, so concentrate on the priorities. Don't feel guilty about what's been left out and start to worry about it. This isn't an easy day because you're feeling pressured and anxious, so don't expect too much from yourself. There's less energy than usual, which doesn't help.
