Ajax coins were first minted over two thousand years ago in Opus, a burgeoning city on the shores of the Aegean Sea. This is where, according to legend, Ajax departed with 40 ships to fight the epic Trojan War.

The Trojan War is important to the Greeks because it defined who they were as a people. It marked their passage from a loose band of tribes into a powerful civilization that forever changed the world.

And Ajax was a big part of why they won the war.
