Interesting fact
The Æ20 coin from Sillyon (Pamphylia) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of the goddess Athena on one side and a horseman on the other. This design was likely inspired by the city's close ties to the ancient Greek city-state of Athens, and it showcases the blending of Greek and local Pamphylian artistic traditions.
