Greek Women

These coins are up to 2600 years old. They show deities, nymphs or famous humans. We do not know very much about them. The models for this portraits were real women (and two men), who lived that time and are dead and forgotten a very long time.
But thanks to these coins we still have and know their faces.
And they will still smile from these coins for the next chiliads, when we ourselves will be dead and forgotten.

Lyrics of the song of Seikilos,the oldest surviving example of a complete musical composition:

While you live, shine
Don't suffer anything at all;
Life exists only a short while
And time demands its toll
