Interesting fact

The Hemilitron coin from Ziz (Punic Sicily) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and Carthaginian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a helmeted head of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a Phoenician inscription and a depiction of a horse, which was a symbol of the Carthaginian Empire. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of Sicily during the time period, where Greek and Carthaginian civilizations coexisted and interacted with one another.
