Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Nomos coin from Neapolis (Campania) 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, while the reverse side shows a dolphin jumping out of the water, surrounded by a wreath of olive leaves. This combination of symbols suggests that the coin was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Neapolis, and that it was valued for its association with wisdom, strength, and the sea.
