Interesting fact
The Hemidrachm coin from Aitna (Sicily) features a unique combination of Greek and indigenous Sicilian elements on its design. On one side, it depicts a classical Greek image of the goddess Athena, while on the other side, it features a Sicilian triskelion, a symbol of the island's indigenous people. This blending of cultures reflects the rich history of Sicily, which was colonized by the Greeks in the 8th century BC and later became a melting pot of various cultures.
