THRACECORINTHIAATTICAPELOPONNESOSCENTRAL GREECEAIGINAPrior to the mid-5th century BC Aigina was a major sea power, which is why the "sea turtle" was adopted as the civic symbol. In 457 - 456 BC Aigina was besieged and then defeated by Athens. Aigina's importance as a sea power was greatly reduced, and there after the land tortoise replaced the sea turtle as the symbol on her coinage. I suspect the change of symbols was forced upon Aigina by Athens at that time. MACEDONIA |
