	(43) Macedon, Demetrios Poliorketes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
		Demetrios was the son of Antigonos Monophthalmos (the One-eyed), who assumed control of Asia after the death of Alexander the Great.
		The invasion ended disastrously and Demetrios was imprisoned by Seleukos; he died in captivity in 283 B.C. On the obverse is a youthful, idealized head of Demetrios with the royal diadem and the horns of a bull, the animal sacred to Demetrios' patron deity, Poseidon.
		On the reverse is Demetrios' patron deity, Poseidon, apparently inspired by the original of the Lateran Poseidon, a statue usually attributed to Lysippos, the court sculptor of Alexander.

		It seems that besides being the Acropolis and a sacred place, the plateau was also inhabited, sparingly of course and surely cultivated because of its rich soil from ancient times.

		He actually began excavations before he was talked out of continuing with it by Egyptian engineers, who predicted that the different sea levels between the Corinthian and the Saronic Gulfs would inundate Aegina and nearby islands with the sea.
