	Xerxes I
		Xerxes I, was a Persian king (reigned 485 - 465 BC) of the Achaemenid dynasty.
		After his accession in October 485 BC he suppressed the revolt in Egypt which had broken out in 486 BC, appointed his brother Achaemenes[?] as henchman (or khshathrapavan, satrap) bringing Egypt under a very strict rule.
		This probably was the reason why Xerxes in 484 BC abolished the Kingdom of Babel[?] and took away the golden statue of Bel (Marduk, Merodach), the hands of which the legitimate king of Babel had to seize on the first day of each year, and killed the priest who tried to hinder him.

	Persepolis & Pasargad
		The work was continued by his successors Xerxes (485-465 BC) and to a lesser extent by Artaxerxes, and indeed the work was only interrupted by Alexander the Great’s destruction of it in 330 BC, so its ultimate grand concept was probably never fully realized.

	ARCL2001: Lecture 11
		Just before the Persian sack of Athens (480 BC) the sculpted male freestanding figure witnessed a radical development: the symmetricality and frontality of the standing male was brought to an end by the shift of the figure's weight onto one leg, accompanied by a corresponding rise in the hip positioned over the flexed leg.
		This style is also sometimes known as the "Severe" style, due to the serious facial expression of the figures and a move away from ornate surface treatment of hair and draperies to concentrate on form and movement.
		Made of an alloy of copper and tin, bronze statues were kept polished and shiny: lips, and sometimes also eyebrows and nipples, were often inlaid with copper or silver, and the eyes were inset with glass paste and stones.

		His life was frequently affected by the political instability of the time, and around 540 BC, when the Persians attacked the Greek coastal towns of Asia Minor and began to overrun Ionia, he fled with many other Teians to Thrace, where they founded the town of Abdera.
		There, Anacreon made his name as a poet, and was invited by Polycrates of Samos (reigned 533-22 BC) to his court to teach his son poetry and music.
		Again, a political change altered his life again when, in 514 BC Hipparchus was assassinated, and although Anacreon may have remained in Athens for a period, it seems more likely that he fled to Thessaly, where he wrote two pieces on behalf of the Thessalian king Echecratidas and his queen.

		A critical examination of literary sources and recent scholarship, including hoard evidence and die studies, suggests that a reappraisal of their dating and purpose is needed.
		Their devices are similar to those of their larger counterparts, although their dates of issue cover a much wider period and therefore reflect a broader view of the evolution of Greek numismatic art.
