https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinth
In Greek mythology, the Labyrinth (Ancient Greek: λαβύρινθος, romanized: Labúrinthos)[a] is an elaborate, confusing structure designed and built by the mythological artificer Daedalus for King Minos of Crete at Knossos. Its function was to hold the Minotaur, the monster eventually killed by the hero Theseus. Daedalus had so cunningly made the Labyrinth that he could barely escape it after he built it.[1]

The Oklahoma Nero Coin
On September 24, 1976 an ancient coin was found in my hometown of Heavener, Oklahoma by Wilbert Stewart. Imperfectly round, a little smaller than a quarter, the coin appeared to have a Roman profile and a Greek inscription on the obverse. The reverse showed an eagle holding a thunderbolt, a palm branch, and two inscriptions (Fig 11-1).

The Alabama Coin
In June of that same year, while searching through back issues of the Anthropological Journal of Canada, the photograph of a coin hit my consciousness forcefully (Fig 11-3). There was the Arkansas coin in print: the same profile, dolphins, date palm and horse head! The photograph was included in an article by Braithwaite and co-authored by an old friend, Mahan. In fact, it was the symposium paper which I had heard in 1973, rewritten and here illustrated. The coin was identified as having been found in 1957 in Alabama by a little boy.

The Pennsylvania Coin
Fell published Frank's photographs of the coin in his book, Saga America, as an example of an early Carthaginian coin. He showed how, in this coin, the goddess Arethusa had been transformed into a Hellenistic version of the Carthaginian goddess Tanit. The name of Syracuse above her head on this coin was misspelled"SYRAKOSIAN," believed to be the normal Iberian Greek form of the genitive case, meaning "Of the Syracusans."

The Oklahoma Thurium Coins
Two other ancient Mediterranean coins found two of my friends. They are included here because the three of us work together and the coins were discovered in the southern and eastern sections of Oklahoma. The two coins are almost identical and are of about the same time period as the seven Carthaginian coins described above. These coins from ancient Italy have been researched by my colleagues, Dr. Cyclone Covey, of Wake Forest University of North Carolina, and by Totten.
