Interesting fact
The Nomos coin from Metapontion (Lucania) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Metapontion, which was located in the region of Lucania, in southern Italy. The coin features an image of a bull on one side and a dolphin on the other, which symbolized the city's strong maritime and agricultural traditions. The use of these symbols also highlighted the city's connection to the Greek god Poseidon, who was revered as the protector of the sea and earthquakes.
