Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Kephaloidion (Sicily) was used as a form of currency during the Hellenistic period, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called the "Kepalos", which was a half-human, half-goat figure. This unique design was a symbol of the city's cultural identity and was used to distinguish its currency from other cities in the region.
