Change to Coins section

[edit]

I made two changes to the "Coins of Arethusa" section. First, I moved a sentence which had nothing to do with coins to the Mythology section. Second, I removed the claim that Arethusa is on the obverse of the coins. While modern observers may well think of the side of a coin with the head as the obverse, most authorities on ancient coins consider the side with Arethusa to be be the reverse of the coin because it was struck with the hand held die.

[edit]

The usual "In Popular Culture" section which is such an important and useful feature of so many of your articles is mysteriously absent from this one, presumably because Arethusa doesn't appear in any Japanese cartoons or anything involving Bart Simpson or Batman. However, she is discussed in some detail, though tastelessly and inaccurately, by Derek & Clive on the track "Sex Manual" from the album "Ad Nauseam". I feel that this major omission should be rectified as soon as possible, both for the benefit of serious students of mythology, and because consistency is important, so surely this page should aspire to the same standard of quality that Wikipedia expects elsewhere? 86.132.249.222 (talk) 15:34, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
