Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Didrachm coin from Teanum Sidicinum is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a depiction of the goddess Athena on one side and a horse on the other. This blend of iconography reflects the cultural influences of the Campania region, where Greek and Roman traditions coexisted and intersect
