My Two Cents
Yes, I know King Leonidas was not a daric, although it’s possible he used darics. And I know Gerard Butler is also not a daric, and has probably never seen or heard of a daric.
But I figured strategically placing a photo of Butler and his abs portraying Leonidas and his abs would draw more attention to this article than a picture of a very old coin.
