Drachma (pl. drachmae)
was the main currency used in Greece and in Ptolemaic Egypt.
History
5th century BCE
During the 5th century BCE the drachma was the agreed currency recognized and used throughout Greece, stamped with the eagle of the god Zeus, whether for services or materials or steeds. Notably, Sparta eschewed the use of drachmae, in order to discourage the hoarding of wealth.[1]
1st century BCE
In the 1st century BCE, under the rule of the Greek pharaoh Ptolemy XIII, the Egypt had also adopted the use of drachmae. The Medjay-become-Hidden One Bayek of Siwa could buy anything from gear to steeds with and exchange animal goods for drachmae.[2]
