Interesting fact
The Drachm coin from Brettii (Bruttium) was used as a form of currency during the 3rd century BC, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called the Chimera. The Chimera was a creature from Greek mythology that had the body of a lion, the head of a goat, and the tail of a serpent. The inclusion of this creature on the coin may have been meant to symbolize the region's connection to Greek culture and mythology.
