Interesting fact
The Timi Stater coin from Thebes (Boeotia) is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a shield with a gorgon's head, a snake, and a rose. This combination of symbols may have been used to convey a message of protection, strength, and fertility, which were important values in ancient Thebes.
