Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nomos coin from Herakleia (Lucania) is that it features a unique combination of Greek and indigenous influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a Greek goddess, possibly Hera or Athena, while the reverse side features a native Lucanian symbol, such as a horseman or a bull. This blending of cultures reflects the diverse cultural heritage of the region and highlights the complex cultural exchange that occurred during the Hellenistic period.
