Interesting fact
The Drachm - Traianus (98-99) coin from Koinon of Lycia (Lycia et Pamphylia) is interesting because it features an image of the Roman Emperor Trajan, who ruled from 98 to 117 AD, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Athena on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Roman Empire was expanding its territories and influence, and it serves as a reminder of the cultural exchange and political alliances that existed between the Roman Empire and the cities of Lycia and Pamphylia.
