Isnt each Athenian shield diffrent?

Modern Athens, as well as the overwhelming emblem of it in the ancient times was the owl...

I suggest you copy it over any shield skin you want, make it look painted and you will be good to go.

What does the ΑΘΕ on coins mean?

**abou** · 09-22-2007, 16:52

I believe it is a stamp for the city of Athens. Generally, people would abbreviate names on coins and monuments to save space.

No kidding. Trying to decipher the titles of some Medieval or Early Modern ruler from his coins tends to be a bit of a challenge in filling in missing letters and guessing abbreviations, especially if he had a lot of them.
