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 Greek inscription on the other, which reads "ΜΕΤΑΠΟΝΤΙΩΝ" (Metapontion). The use of the bull image on the coin may have been a symbol of strength and prosperity for the city, as bulls were considered sacred animals in ancient Greek culture.
