In Greek mythology, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, was often depicted adorned with roses. As Rhodos was known for its devotion to Aphrodite and its temple dedicated to her, the rose became closely linked with the island. On ancient coins of Rhodos, the rose frequently appears as a symbol, serving as a visual representation of the island's mythological connection to Aphrodite. Beyond its mythological significance, the rose also symbolizes beauty, love, and prosperity, reflecting the island's natural splendor and flourishing economy. In essence, the rose on coins of Rhodos serves as a potent emblem, encapsulating both the island's mythological heritage and its attributes of beauty, fertility, and abundance.
