Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nomos coin from Tarentum is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a helmeted head of Athena on the obverse and a horseman on the reverse, which reflects the city's cultural and historical ties to ancient Greece and its emphasis on maritime trade and commerce.
