Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nomos coin from Tarentum is that it features a unique combination of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of a young man, believed to be a representation of the Greek god Apollo, while the reverse side shows a horse and rider, which is a common motif in ancient Italian art. This blending of cultural styles reflects the rich cultural heritage of Tarentum, a city that was founded by Greek colonizers but later became a key center of Italian culture.
