Comment
The first letter of the city's ethnic name is Beta, an archaic spelling used in Byzantion: Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Byzantion (Thrace) was used as a form of currency during the 4th century BC, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called the Griffin. The Griffin was a symbol of protection and strength, and its depiction on the coin was meant to convey the power and prosperity of the Byzantine Empire.
