Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetradrachm (Ohrlocke Type) coin from the Uncertain Dacian tribes is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Dacian elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Dacian warrior riding a horse. This fusion of Greek and Dacian motifs reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the two civilizations during this time period.
