Interesting fact
The Triobol coin featuring Philokles from Argos (Argolis) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and social change in ancient Greece. The coin was issued during the reign of Philokles, who was a prominent politician and military leader in Argos during the 1st century BC. This was a period of significant turmoil, as the Roman Republic was expanding its influence and power in the region, leading to conflicts with traditional Greek city-states like Argos. Despite these challenges, the Triobol coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of ancient Greek culture and currency.
