Robinson publishes forty silver coins said to have been found near Megalopolis, explaining the dealer-mediated report and its limitations. The study places the material beside earlier Alexander hoard publications and catalogues. It is useful for comparing Peloponnesian circulation evidence while keeping the reported find circumstances distinct from secure archaeological context.
