Interesting fact
The Triobol coin from Argos (Argolis) minted during the reign of Lydiadas (90 BC - 40 BC) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Persian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a bearded Persian king, possibly representing the Persian emperor Darius I, while the reverse side features a Greek legend and a depiction of the goddess Athena. This fusion of cultural styles reflects the complex political and cultural dynamics of the ancient world, where Greek city-states like Argos interacted with the Persian Empire.
