| Aanvullende informatie |
Apollon Hylatas — "Apollo of the Woodland" — was worshipped at his sanctuary near Kourion on Cyprus's southern coast for over a thousand years, from at least the 8th century BC into the Roman imperial period. The cult was distinctly Cypriot: devotees who accidentally touched the altar were thrown from the adjacent cliff into the sea, a ritual peculiarity noted by ancient sources. The sanctuary was excavated extensively by the University of Pennsylvania in the mid-20th century, with finds now split between Nicosia and the Penn Museum.
Cyprus has issued silver collector pieces in this format since the early 2000s, generally tied to UNESCO-listed archaeological sites.
