Interesting fact
The Diobol coin from Kebren (Troad) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded hero, possibly Hercules, while the reverse side shows a seated archer, which is a common motif in Persian art. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
