Human-faced Crab Carapace on a Greek Drachm from Akragas (Sicily), c. 420 BC.
The obverse shows two eagles perched on the carcass of a hare. This design may have been inspired by the omen presented to Agamemnon and Menelaus in Aeschylos’ Agamemnon, where two eagles, representing the two kings, devoured a pregnant hare, an allusion to the city of Troy. The reverse shows a crab seen from above with the carapace turned into the human face which remarkably resembles the Heikegani Crab, a species native to Japan. Beneath it is a crayfish with a barley-grain and a cicada on either side.

An attack against the police took place right outside the Turkish Consulate in Thessaloniki.
Molotov bombs were used. There was at least one injured and significant property damage.
The anarchist troublemakers then retreated in the campus of the nearby Aristotle University, a known den of lowlifes and degenerates.
A 40 year old foreigner has been arrested. The police has sent reinforcements to the area.
A comment from OP: it is not unlikely that the Turkish want to provoke some sort of incident, something to shift away the attention of the populace from the crumbling Turkish economy. Similar events have happened before. The group behind it could very possibly be serving turkish interests.
