Rumor has it that I have an octopus tattoo that is ALMOST as majestic as this guy right here.

This beautiful tetradrachm was struck at the city of Eretria on Euboea.
The detail on the octopus is incredible with its sinuous tentacles, suckers and intelligent-looking head. Whilst the octopus was a civic emblem for Eretria, it was also important for it to be decorative & bold.
