BC-AD

A Greek coin was found with the date CCCVLI BC. I think it would be 346 BC !!!
Some people think the coin is false because the nickel/silver alloy is an alloy not commonly used by the Greeks at the time. The face of Alexander (The Great) of Macedonia is also in doubt as he didn't succeeed to the throne until 336 BC ten years after the date of the coin!
Some other are suspicious because it is using Roman numerals!
But many think the coin is authentic because it was found in Greece!
So far even though I made up this tale I haven't made up my mind. can you believe that?
