Interesting fact
The Drachm - Phanias coin from Stratonikeia (Caria) was minted during the reign of Phanias, who was a local king of the city-state of Stratonikeia in ancient Caria (present-day Turkey) during the Roman Empire. The coin features an image of Phanias on one side and the goddess Roma on the other, symbolizing the city's allegiance to Rome. Despite being a small regional coin, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
