Interesting fact
The Dodekadrachm coin from Derrones (Thraco-macedonian region) is significant because it features a unique blend of Thracian and Macedonian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and theater, while the reverse side features a horse and rider, which is a common motif in Thracian art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural diversity of the region during that time period.
