Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetartemorion coin from Mykalessos (Boeotia) is that it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a crescent moon, a star, and a dolphin. These symbols were likely chosen to represent the city's maritime and agricultural connections, as well as its religious beliefs. The coin's design and imagery provide valuable insight into the culture and traditions of ancient Mykalessos and the surrounding region.
