Interesting fact
The Drachm - Aristoboulos coin from Rhodes, which was minted during the reign of Aristoboulos II (205-190 BC), features a unique design on its obverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a deity or a mythological figure, the coin bears the image of a rose, which was the symbol of the city of Rhodes. This design choice was likely intended to promote the island's reputation for its beautiful roses and to highlight the city's connection to the natural world.
