Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Ambracia (Epeiros) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Illyrian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a horned helmet, which is a common motif in Illyrian art, while the reverse side features the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred in the region during that time.
