Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Komama (Pisidia) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded king wearing a Persian-style crown, while the reverse side shows a Greek-style owl perched on a branch. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the region, which was influenced by both Greek and Persian empires at different times.
