Archaeological Museum of Drama

The museum also has examples of Attic pottery (6th and 5th century BC), a marble bust of Dionysos, which constitutes the earliest evidence of his cult in the wider area, a hoard of coins of Philip II from an excavation at Potami, and other finds from the ancient settlement of Drama (4th century BC).
