Interesting fact
The Trihemiobol coin from Phlious (Phliasia) is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a tripod. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency in a specific trade or commercial context, possibly related to the worship of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare.
