Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Alexandreia (Troad) was minted during the reign of King Antiochus III, who ruled the Seleucid Empire from 223 BC to 187 BC. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the goddess Athena on the other, signifying the city's cultural and political ties to both the Seleucid Empire and ancient Greece.
