OK.  But I have sent the prototype thracian....  easy to add them again
after commit of the others.

Thanks!  And here I spent the best part of yesterday downloading and
compiling inkspace, and looking up illyrian coins for eagle examples. :-)

Some.  Lots and lots of conflicts will be inevitable, as the histories
called things "illyrian" all the way up into Silesia!

And among my current favorites, where the illyrian settlement Pitve was
invaded by greeks and renamed (or built over by) Pharos (distinguished
from Paros), and reinvaded by illyrians, then by romans, et alia:
Pharia|Fara|Hvar.  Conflict resolved by using the most ancient.

Before commit, we may have to wait for a decision on how this is handled
in the Egyptian city thread.
