Claims Supported by This Source

  1. Engravers' signatures appear on Sicilian coins after 440 BC. Most of the signed coins are from the period of finest art. No ancient writer mentions the names of Euainetos and Kimon.
  2. The Demareteia (circa 479 BC). The design of Nike flying above the chariot may be from Gelon's victory at Olympia in 488 BC.
  3. The signed decadrachms are from after the Athenian defeat. The arms with ΑΘΛΑ are seen as prizes from the Asinarian games. The first dies were by Kimon. The decadrachms of Euainetos were perhaps the most celebrated coins of antiquity. The facing head on Kimon's tetradrachms is the finest facing head on a coin.
  4. The signature of Euainetos is found on coins of Syracuse, Katane, and Kamarina.
