-- Coin information
Euboea, Chalcis (Chalkis). Struck around 320-300 BC
Obverse: Diademed and draped bust of Hera facing, slightly right. Reverse: XAL, eagle flying right, holding serpent in its claws
In ancient Greek religion, Hera is the goddess of marriage, women and family, and the protector of women during childbirth. In Greek mythology, she is queen of the twelve Olympians and Mount Olympus, sister and wife of Zeus, and daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. Her Roman counterpart is Juno.
Chalcis is the chief town of the island of Euboea or Evia in Greece, situated on the Euripus Strait at its narrowest point. The name is preserved from antiquity and is derived from the Greek χαλκός (copper, bronze), though there is no trace of any mines in the area. In the Late Middle Ages, it was known as Negropont(e), an Italian name that has also been applied to the entire island of Euboea.
