Comment
Unpublished.Interesting fact
The Stater (Olynthos) coin from the Chalkidean League (Macedon) is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery. On one side, it depicts a youthful male figure, possibly representing the god Apollo, while on the other side, it shows a horse and a dolphin, which are symbols associated with the sea and the god Poseidon. This combination of land and sea symbols may reflect the league's strategic location along the coast of the Aegean Sea and its connection to the sea's bounty and trade routes.
