Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Perge (Pamphylia) features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a seated figure of the Persian goddess Anahita, reflecting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
