Interesting fact
The coin features the image of a horse on its obverse side, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. Horses were not only a symbol of strength and power but also played an important role in ancient Greek mythology. In fact, the horse was associated with the goddess Athena, who was often depicted with a horse's head on coins. The use of the horse on this coin from Cales (Campania) highlights the cultural and artistic influences that ancient Greek cities had on each other.
