Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Hemiobol coin from Aspendos (Pamphylia) is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a lion's head, which is a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, while the reverse side features a Persian-style altar with a fire burning on top of it. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region, which was conquered by the Persian Empire in the 6th century BC and later became a part of the Greek world.
