Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Aegeae (Cilicia) was minted during the reign of Mark Antony, who was one of the triumvirs who ruled the Roman Republic after the assassination of Julius Caesar. The coin features an image of Antony on one side and the goddess Athena on the other, indicating the close cultural and political ties between the Roman Republic and the city of Aegeae.
