Story
Dated: 200-133 BCE Mysia Pergamon
Pergamon was an ancient city in Mysia (modern Turkey). The city was home to one of the most famous libraries of the ancient world, second only to the Library of Alexandria. The Library of Pergamum contained a vast collection of scrolls and texts, making it a center of learning and knowledge in the Hellenistic world.
Using owl images on coins reinforced Athena's religious and cultural significance in Pergamon.
Owl and Athena The owl was a sacred and significant creature associated with the goddess Athena. The owl embodied wisdom, knowledge, and insight, perfectly reflecting the goddess's qualities as a patroness of various cities and as the goddess of courage, warfare, and wisdom.
