Interesting fact
The Pythonikos coin features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a mythical creature known as the "Python" - a serpent-like creature with a head of a woman. This design was meant to symbolize the city of Maroneia's connection to the cult of Dionysus, as the Python was associated with the god of wine and fertility. The coin's design serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Thrace and its connections to Greek mythology.
