Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Maroneia (Thrace) featuring Zenon (386 BC - 347 BC) is notable for its unique design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a youthful portrait of Zenon, while the reverse side features a representation of the goddess Athena. This combination of a philosopher's portrait and a deity's image was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage, but the specific design of this coin is particularly striking and has made it a popular collector's item.
