Interesting fact
The Aitna (Sicily) Æ14 coin features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a dolphin. This combination of symbols may have been used to represent the city's maritime power and its connection to the goddess Athena, who was revered for her wisdom and strategic thinking.
