Interesting fact
The Æ coin from Laos (Lucania) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Lucania, which is now modern-day Basilicata, Italy. The coin features the image of a bull on one side and the Greek god Apollo on the other. The use of bronze in the coin's construction was a common practice during this time period, as it was a durable and accessible material for coinage. The coin's weight of 3.64 grams is also notable, as it suggests that it was a relatively small coin, making it easy to handle and transport. Overall, this coin provides a fascinating glimpse into the economic and cultural practices of ancient Greece and its influence on other regions.
