1)period of inhabitation of Curium acropolis
2)history of the Theater
3)history of the Stadium
4)history of Apollo sanctuary.
5)trade relations at various periods? E.g., do I deduce correctly that the coins of Hellenistic times [handwritten: were] almost entirely Ptolemaic only?
As to 1) I agree that an analysis of coins from the Acropolis would not be very meaningful since too little has been excavated, but the earliest and latest limits of inhabitation proper would be helpful. As to 2) to 4) these areas have been either completely or largely excavated and [handwritten: their] analyses of their coins might well be significant.
6) Short summary of results of your study of the coins, new attributions, etc. History of the mint of Curium, so far as known? Coins of mint of Curium published elsewhere, dates?
c)Particular:
1)l. 1 : "cite" : for city or site?
"later Episkopi" : yes and no. The village itself occupies none of the ancient sites excavated in the area. Strictly speaking: a number of sites of successive periods attest continuous inhabitation of the area of Episkopi from prehistoric times down to the present.
2)l. 4 : "of perhaps a decade" might be deleted.
3)ll. 6-7: "from west to east" ?
Center of population in Geometric and possibly in Archaic times may have lain in the plain below the east end of the Acropolis of Curium. The Acropolis may have been the center as early as Hellenistic, possibly even in Classical times, and continued to be so through Late Roman times, as far as excavations suggest. Apollo (cf. J. & S. Young) was a sanctuary from ca. 8th century B.C. thru Late Roman.
4) ll. 9-10: I think we may speak of the acropolis of Curium as an entity. It has fortifications exposed at the west end.
