Interesting fact
The Tritartemorion coin from Selymbria (Thrace) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Thracian elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Greek-style head of Apollo, while the reverse side shows a Thracian-style horseman. This fusion of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that occurred between Greek city-states and the neighboring Thracian tribes during that time period.
