To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As the head of Athene on the coins issued after 443 B. C. Witnesses to the influence of the Athenian colonists at Thurium, so the figure of Poseidon on the coins of 453 B. C. Witnesses to the help given by the colonv of Sybarites settled at Poseidonium, now called Paestum. Herodotus in Bk VI mentions the Sybarites as settling in Laus and Scidrus after their defeat in 510 B. C. , but does not mention Poseidonia ; however these coins are witnesses to the help given by the men of that city in 453 ...B. C. The coins of Piestum bear the same figure of Poseidon in the same attitude on the Obverse, and a bull on the Reverse.
The following additional reason for thinking this deity most — 90 — suitable for the new coinage of 453 B. C. May be only a modern fancy.
Poseidon with the help of Apollo is said to have assisted Laome- don in the building of the walls of Troy. In the Iliad of Homer (VII, 452) we find Poseidon's prayer to Zeus concerning the wall and trench dug by the Greeks, "and men shall lightly deem of that wall which I and Phoebus jointly raised with toil and pain for great Laomedon.
