Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Phlious (Phliasia) is interesting because it features a unique blend of ancient Greek and Persian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a lion's head, which was a common motif in ancient Persian coinage, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Greek goddess Athena, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
