Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Æ Hemilitron coin from Selinos (Sicily) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and letters on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a helmeted head of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, while the reverse side features a dolphin and the Greek letter "ΣΕ" (Sigma) above it. This combination of symbols may have been used to represent the city of Selinos and its connection to the Greek world. Additionally, the use of bronze as the material for the coin suggests that it was a widely circulating coin, as bronze was a more affordable and durable material than other metals used in coinage at the time.
