Α significant part of the Archaeological Museum of Amfissa’s collection is dedicated to the history of transactions and coinage, from pre-monetary currency ‒ i.e. inanimate or living goods that, due to their recognized value, served as currency substitutes ‒ to the euro.
It is particularly fitting that the building housing the Museum nowadays once served as the National Bank of Greece. It is a typical two-storey urban residence with a garden from the early 20th century, one of few that still remain in the city.
The world of women holds a special place in the exhibition, among others, as examples of a collection of some 800 small heads of female terracotta figurines from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC found in Amfissa are on display, depicting various types of ancient Greek hairstyles; the most popular was the so-called “melon” hairstyle, which ends in a bun at the back of the head, held in place with bronze or gold hair rings.
