Interesting fact
The Maroneia (Thrace) Æ22 coin from 100 BC - 1 AD is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater, on one side, and a grapevine on the other. This design was likely chosen to reflect the region's strong agricultural tradition and its reputation for producing high-quality wine.
