Interesting fact
The Adada (Pisidia) bronze coin Æ12 (100 BC - 1 BC) features a unique combination of symbols and imagery that reflects the cultural and historical context of its time. On one side, the coin bears the image of a mythical creature, possibly a Griffin, which was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek mythology. On the other side, the coin features a stylized representation of a tree, which may represent the importance of agriculture and fertility in the region. The combination of these symbols suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in a trade network that spanned across different cultures and regions.
