About this audio guide
This guide to the Archaeological Site of Kamiros in Rhodes starts with a tiny silver coin stamped with a single fig leaf, the currency this farming town minted for roughly a century starting near the end of the sixth century BCE. It follows the agora and colonnaded stoa where that coinage changed hands for oil and figs, and the sixth-century reservoir that supplied hundreds of families. Walking the ruins today, you're moving through the same stalls and columns where that trade once happened.
