Senator Lodge explains to President Roosevelt why he got the dates wrong for Hieron II. He had been thinking of Hieron I, but knew he was wrong when Roosevelt, who typically gets dates correct, thought Hiero II had lived a century after Alexander the Great. Lodge also discusses Philistis, the wife of Hieron II, and the coinage on which her head appears. He promises to show it to Roosevelt some time.
