Interesting fact
The Æ14 coin from Amblada (Pisidia) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stork standing on a rocky outcrop, with its wings outstretched and a snake in its beak. This design is believed to symbolize the city's association with the god Apollo, who was often depicted with a stork as his companion animal. The inclusion of the snake may also represent the city's connection to the nearby river, which was home to a variety of snakes. This design is a distinctive feature of coins from Amblada and sets them apart from other coins of the same era.
