Interesting fact
The Tritetartemorion coin from Argos (Argolis) is interesting because it features a unique design on its obverse side, depicting a hoplite (a heavily armored Greek foot soldier) advancing right, holding a spear and shield. This design was a common motif on ancient Greek coins, but the Tritetartemorion coin's rendition of the hoplite is particularly detailed and well-preserved, making it a valuable artifact for historians and collectors.
