Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Thebes (Boeotia) minted during the reign of Timo (363 BC - 338 BC) is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side. The coin bears the image of a shield with a horseman on top, surrounded by a wreath, which is a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. However, the shield also features a small image of a boar's head, which is a rare and distinctive feature. The boar's head symbolizes the mythical Boeotian hero, Oedipus, who was said to have defeated the Sphinx and saved Thebes from destruction. This coin is a fascinating example of how ancient Greek cities used their coinage to express their cultural and historical heritage.
