Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Greek goddess, likely Hera or Athena, while the reverse side features a Roman-style wreath surrounding the letters "IRNTHI", which is an early form of the name "Campania". This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the coin's place in the broader context of ancient trade and commerce.
