Interesting fact
The 10 Litrai coin featuring Hieronymus from Syracuse (Sicily) is notable for its unique design, which depicts a portrait of the ruler on one side and a quadriga (a chariot pulled by four horses) on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional Greek coinage designs that typically featured gods and goddesses. The use of a quadriga on the coin may have been intended to highlight Hieronymus' military prowess and his role as a powerful ruler.
