This episode explores the moment money stopped being questioned.

After the reign of Alyattes of Lydia, coins were no longer just stamped metal.
They became legal truth.

For the first time in history, value was no longer negotiated by weight, purity, or trust between traders.
It was enforced by authority.

This film examines how post-Alyattes Lydia transformed coinage into a political instrument—
where money no longer lied, because it no longer needed to convince.

This is not a story about wealth.
It is a story about obedience, legitimacy, and the birth of economic law.
