Interesting fact
The Larinum (Frentani) Æ20 coin from 268 BC - 250 BC is notable for its unique design, which features a helmeted head of the goddess Athena on the obverse (front side), and a horse's head on the reverse (back side). This design was likely chosen to symbolize the city's military prowess and its connection to the goddess of wisdom and warfare.
