	Archon
		After 683 BCE[?] the offices were held for only a single year, and the year was named after the Archon Eponymous.
		(Many ancient calendar systems did not number their years consecutively as we do.) After 487 BCE the archonships were assigned by lot to any citizen and the Polemarch's military duties were taken over by a new class of generals known as strategoi.
		After 457 BCE ex-archons were automatically enrolled as life members of the Areopagus, though that assembly was no longer extremely important politically at that time.

	Coin of Herod the Great: Star or Crest?
		In 40 BCE, Herod the Great was designated King of Judaea by the Romans, who had effectively ruled Judaea since Pompey’s conquest in 63 BCE.
		Thus the depiction of a helmet with a crest on Herod’s large bronze would be consistent with the depiction of helmets on ancient Jewish coins before, contemporaneous with, and after the issuance of Herod’s large coin.
		Comparing the two helmet coins of Herod the Great (figures 1 and 6), both minted in 37 BCE, the appearance of the helmet on the large bronze is similar, almost identical, to the helmet on the smaller bronze.

		It is sufficiently clear that their rivalry, terminated in 483-82 BCE by the ostracism of Aristides, turned largely on the fact that Themistocles was the advocate of a policy of naval expansion.
		According to the Athenaion Politeia it would seem that Themistocles was archon in 483-82 BCE at the time when this naval program began.
		In 487 the omce lost much of its importance owing to the substitution of the lot for election: the chance that the lot would at the particular crisis of 483 BCE fall on Themistocles was obviously remote: and the Athenaion Politeia is generally wrong about Themistocles.
