Amphipolis Ancient Coin Featuring Hestia - Historical Artifact #2995387 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing replicates a classical Greek silver tetradrachm minted in Amphipolis, featuring the goddess Hestia standing left-facing, draped in a chiton and himation, holding a lit torch in her right hand and a scepter or branch in her left. The surrounding Greek inscription ΑΜΦΙΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ (“of the Amphipolitans”) confirms its origin, while the dotted border and stylized lettering reflect late Classical numismatic conventions. The image captures both religious symbolism and civic identity of the Macedonian colony.

Used on museum collection pages, academic articles on Greek numismatics, or educational sites about ancient religion and city-states; serves users researching Hestia, Amphipolis history, or ancient coinage symbolism.
