Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Miletos (Ionia) featuring Epikrates and Krateros (170 BC - 160 BC) is notable for its unique design. On one side, it features the heads of the two rulers, Epikrates and Krateros, facing each other in a rare example of a "double portrait" design. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the time and makes it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians.
