Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Nomos (385 BC - 380 BC) from Tarentum (Calabria) made of Silver weighing 7.99 g is that it features a unique combination of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Greek goddess, likely Hera or Athena, while the reverse side features a depiction of a dolphin, which was a common symbol in ancient Greek coinage. However, the coin's design also incorporates elements of Italian art and culture, such as the use of a distinctive Italic alphabet for the inscription "TARAS" (the ancient name for Tarentum) on the reverse side. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural exchange that occurred in the region during the time period.
