Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Myrina (Thracian Islands) features a unique combination of Greek and Thracian elements on its design. On one side, it depicts the head of the Greek goddess Athena, while on the other side, it shows a Thracian warrior riding a horse. This blending of cultures reflects the diverse influences present in the region during that time period.
