Interesting fact
The Lokroi Epizephyrioi coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a time of political and social change in ancient Greece. The coin was minted during the period of the Pyrrhic War (281-272 BC), which was a conflict between the city-states of Tarentum and Rome. The coin's design, which features a bull's head on one side and a dolphin on the other, may have been meant to symbolize the strength and power of the city-state of Lokroi Epizephyrioi during this time of conflict.
