Interesting fact
The Didrachm from Nola (Campania) features a unique combination of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The obverse side bears the image of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a depiction of a dolphin, which was a common symbol in ancient Italian art. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the rich cultural exchange that took place in the ancient Mediterranean world.
