Interesting fact

The Æ Teruncius coin from Venusia (Apulia) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a horseman riding a horse in a standing position. This design is known as the "standing horse" motif and was a common feature on coins from the Roman Republic. The use of this motif on the Æ Teruncius coin suggests that it may have been influenced by Roman coinage, highlighting the cultural exchange and influence that existed between the Roman Republic and the cities of Magna Graecia, such as Venusia, during this time period.
