Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Nomos coin from Tarentum is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a youthful male head, likely 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 exchange that occurred in the region during the Hellenistic period.
