Story
Maroneia, Thrace was located in what is now northern Greece. Maroneia was one of Thrace's most important cities due to extensive and rich territory and to the port situated on commercial trade routes.
It was famous for wine production and horse breeding. Hence horses and grapes are common themes on the coinage of the area.
