That is apparently an auction site, selling off ancient coins for modern money, which I struggle to see as very ethical. Those ancient treasures should be in museums, not in private collections, especially the ones that -according to the article- are "very rare". Other than that, the article reminded me of something I've always found interesting. The article mentions that "hoplon", in ancient Greek, was the word for the large circular shield carried by hoplites. Accordingly, "arma" is the ancient Greek word for chariot. The interesting thing is that, in modern Greek, "hoplo" (όπλο) means "weapon" and so does "arma" (chariot) when used in the plural, "armata" ("άρματα"). The latter use of "arma" is more common in texts from around the time of the revolution against the Ottomans, in 1821, where we find the "armatoloi", who were originally hired by Ottomans to "bear arms" (I think the latin words is unconnected). The word "armatosia", (αρματωσιά) on the other hand means "armour", or more generally "armament". And now I'm wondering if "arms" is actually unconnected to the modern use of the Greek "arma"...
