Interesting fact
The Hemilitron coin from Himera (Sicily) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Greek and indigenous Sicilian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Greek-style head of the goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a Sicilian-style image of a crab, which was a symbol of the city of Himera. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural diversity of Sicily during the ancient Greek period.
