Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nomos coin from Metapontion (Lucania) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side depicts a helmeted head of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, while the reverse side shows a horseman riding a horse and holding a spear, surrounded by a wreath of olive leaves. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin was used as a form of currency for both military and commercial purposes. Additionally, the use of silver as the material for the coin indicates that it was a valuable and durable form of currency, which was widely accepted in the ancient Greek world.
