Interesting fact
The Æ16 coin from Alexandreia (Troad) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between ancient civilizations. Its bronze composition and relatively small weight made it a practical and portable medium of exchange for everyday transactions. Despite its age, many of these coins have been well-preserved and can still be found in collections and museums today, offering a glimpse into the economic and social practices of ancient societies.
