Answer 1

Ancient Macedonia was a Greek Kingdom and still today the modern region of Macedonia is in Greece. (Do not confuse ancient Greek Macedonia or Macedon with the modern Slavic/Albanian republic of Macedonia as they are not related at all).
As every other Greek state in antiquate the (Greek)Macedonians were using the DRACHMA.
{The name Drachma is derived from the verb (in Greek) "δράττω" (dratto, "to grasp"). Initially a drachma was a fistful (a "grasp") of six "oboloi", sticks of metal used as currency as early as 1100 BC.
Later on the small sticks of metal became small coins}
One Drachma was from silver and the smaller oboloi (or ovoloi or obols) were made form bronze or copper.
The most famous coin was the tetradrachmon (4 drachma coin)
(Famous Greek coins were the Athenian, the Corinthian and the Macedonian tetradrachmon)
So it was :
1 drachma coin (silver) = 6 oboloi (copper)
4 drachmae = a tetradrachmon coin (silver)
(there were also gold Drachma coins mainly 10drachma coin or 2drachma coin but they were not for everyday use)
100 drachmae (plural of Drachma) = 1 mna (or mina) (not a coin)
60 mnae = 1 Athenian Talent (not a coin something like a modern million)
Remember that the drachma was a lot of money! Therefore a newspaper wouldn’t have cost more than ½ of Obolos (half obolos)
Now let’s see about days and months!
Well every Greek state had its own set of names for months. However some of the names were common in most Greek states.
Bellow is a list of the names of the months that were used in the ancient Greek state of Macedonia.
(Remember that the ancient Greek months were synodic Lunar months (i.e. 354 days per year)
Δίος {Dios, moon of October (roughly 15th September till 15th of October)}
Απελλαίος (Apellaios, moon of November, also a common month for all the Dorian Greeks. - Apellaiōn was a Tenian month)
Αυδναίος or Αυδηναίος (Audnaios or Audēnaios, moon of December)
Περίτιος (Peritios, moon of January)
Δύστρος (Dystros, moon of February)
Ξανδικός or Ξανθικός (Xandikos or Xanthikos, moon of March)
Ξανδικός Εμβόλιμος (Xandikos Embolimos, intercalated 6 times over a 19-year cycle)
Αρτεμίσιος or Αρταμίτιος (Artemisios or Artamitios, moon of April, a month dedicated to the Greek Goddess Artemis and was also a Spartan, Rhodian and Epidaurian month - Artemisiōn was an Ionic month)
Δαίσιος (Daisios, moon of May)
Πάνημος or Πάναμος (Panēmos or Panamos, moon of June, also an Epidaurian, Miletian, Samian and Corinthian month)
Λώιος (Lōios, moon of July - Ομολώιος, Homolōios, was an Aetolian, Beotian and Thessalian month)
Γορπιαίος (Gorpiaios, moon of August)
Υπερβερεταίος (Hyperberetaios, moon of September - Hyperberetos was a Cretan month)
Υπερβερεταίος Εμβόλιμος (Hyperberetaios Embolimos, intercalated once over a 19-year cycle)
As for the days the ancient Greeks didn’t have names for their days. They simply used numbers! For example: 1st of Panamos, or 15th of Gorpiaios.
So your newspaper should look like:
Date: 5th of Dios
Price: Half Obol
Hope I’ve helped you!
(Do not confuse ancient Greek Macedonia or Macedon with the modern Slavic/Albanian Republic of Macedonia as they are not related at all. The confusion has started a few years ago because that small state started to use the name “Republic of Macedonia” causing a great confusion with authentic Macedonia of Greece.).

Answer 2

Solly, expensive, you will possibly be suited on the different days, yet Friday is named for Freya as in the Norse goddess, Your definitions re: Venus or Aphrodite completely don't extra healthful with the the remainder of the stuff below Freya. Freya grew to become right into a war goddess, drove a chariot pulled via 2 horse-sized cats (ever tried to herd even ONE cat?), swung a median broadsword, and ought to drink the lads below the table at Valhalla. Now, there's a real goddess, one that merits her day named for her.

Answer 3

The answer above me is totally wrong!! First of all in ancient MACEDONIA they spoke MACEDONIAN!! Not Greek!! The person says about me that the draqma was the money used in this time! But I don't thing that the draqma was even around in this time! I don't even thing that it is still known what the currency was at this ancient time!! MACEDONIA was divided and Greece occupy territory from the country MACEDONIA!! They claim MACEDONIA is Greek but it is not true! They named the region in Northern Greece the province of MACEDONIA in 1988. Anyways as for your answer here are some websites and I hope they are of help. Good Luck!!
