Silver triobol

Greek, Argos

Not on view

Coins of Greek city-states depicted unique images or symbols that represented their particular city. Argos began issuing coins at the beginning of the 5th century B.C. with the forepart of a wolf on the obverse and an "A" on the reverse. The wolf was the symbol of Apollo Lykios (Wolf-god), who was worshipped in Argos and had a sanctuary dedicated to him near the agora.
