Interesting fact
The Perikle Stater from Dynasts of Lycia (Achaemenid Satrapies) is notable for its unique design, which features a lion's head on one side and an inscription in ancient Greek on the other. The inscription reads "ΠΕΡΙΚΛΗΣ ΣΤΑΣΙ," which translates to "Perikles, the leader of the army." This suggests that Perikles was a prominent military leader during the Achaemenid Empire, and the coin may have been used as a form of payment for soldiers or as a symbol of his authority.
