Æ 288 BC - 279 BC

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols and letters that reflect the cultural and political influences of the time. The obverse side of the coin depicts a helmeted head of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, while the reverse side shows a hoplite (a heavily armored Greek foot soldier) and a dolphin, which was a symbol of the sea and the patron deity of the city of Lokroi. The use of these symbols and letters on the coin highlights the cultural exchange and political alliances between the Greek city-states and the indigenous populations of southern Italy during the 4th century BC.
