Interesting fact
The Drachm - Basileides coin from Rhodes, which was minted during the reign of Basileides (84 BC - 30 BC), features a unique design on its obverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a deity or a mythological figure, the coin features a portrait of Basileides himself, making it one of the earliest examples of a coin featuring a real person. This design choice was a departure from the traditional coinage designs of the time and signifies the importance of Basileides as a ruler.
