Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Diobol coin from Tarentum is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Greek hero, possibly Alexander the Great, while the reverse side features an image of a dolphin, which was a common symbol in ancient Italian art. This blending of cultural motifs reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the region and highlights the complex cultural exchange that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
