The
Ultimate Greek Coin

The
designs on coins are often laden with symbolism. Kings,
queens and presidents have used them to express ideas or
to display their own likeness. The ancient Greeks were notorious
for their love of symbolism, and on this coin of the legendary
Greek king and conqueror, 'Alexander the Great,' we find
some of the best ever produced, as he portrays himself as
the Greeks' greatest warrior/god, Hercules. The front of
this coin shows the Greek hero Herakles, who is better known
by the name Hercules, which the Romans gave him.

Maron
was a priest of Apollo who encountered Ulysses in the Odyssey.
He was honored by his name being given to an area lying
on the northern coast of Greece, Maroneia. Bordering the

edged on the west by Macedonia and the waterways connecting
the Aegean with the Baltic Sea. read
