Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Litra coin from Syracuse (Sicily) is that it features a unique combination of both Greek and Sicilian elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a four-horse chariot, which was a common motif in ancient Sicilian art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural exchange that occurred in the region during the time period.
