Interesting fact
The Didrachm from Kuma (Campania) was used as a form of currency in ancient Greece and Italy, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called the "Kuma Lion." This lion was a symbol of the city of Kuma and was believed to have special powers. The coin's design also included an inscription that read "Kuma" in ancient Greek, which helped to identify its origin.
