Interesting fact
The Æ13 coin from Neapolis (Campania) was used during a time of great cultural and economic significance for the city. Neapolis was a major center of trade and commerce in the ancient Greek world, and the coin's design reflects this history. The obverse side of the coin features the head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side shows a dolphin, which was a symbol of the city's maritime trade and connections to the sea. The coin's design and the materials used to create it, such as bronze, also reflect the city's wealth and influence during this time period.
