Interesting fact
The Didrachm - Domitian 13 (93) from Caesarea (Cappadocia) is a rare coin that features a unique blend of Greek and Roman influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Roman emperor Domitian, while the reverse side features a representation of the Greek goddess Artemis. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region where the coin was minted, which was part of the Roman Empire but had previously been inhabited by Greek colonizers.
