Interesting fact
The Oktobol coin from Selymbria (Thrace) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Thracian elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Thracian goddess Bendis, while the reverse side features a traditional Greek motif of a racing quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses). This fusion of cultural influences reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the region and highlights the exchange of artistic and cultural ideas between ancient civilizations.
