Interesting fact
The Diok stater from Thebes (Boeotia) was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in ancient Greece, particularly in the city of Thebes. The coin features an image of a mythical creature called the "dioskouri," which were twin brothers who were believed to have been born to the god Zeus. The coin's design was likely meant to symbolize the power and strength of the city of Thebes and its connection to the gods.
