Interesting fact
The Obol coin of Paerisades I (Panticapaeum) from the Bosporan Kingdom (Bosporos) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and barbarian elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the king's head wearing a bashlyk, a traditional Scythian hat, while the reverse side shows a Greek hoplite warrior holding a shield and spear. This fusion of cultures reflects the complex history of the Bosporan Kingdom, which was a Greek colony that was later absorbed into the Persian Empire and eventually became an independent kingdom. This coin is a testament to the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during this time period.
