Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Pheneos (Arkadia) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece during the 4th century BC. The word "obol" comes from the Greek word "obelos," which means "roasting spit." This is because the coin was originally worth enough to buy a small roasting spit, and it was used as a standard unit of exchange in everyday transactions.
