Interesting fact
The Nomos coin from Nola (Campania) is interesting because it features a unique combination of symbols on its obverse side, including a helmeted head of Athena, a griffin, and a Nike (Victory) standing on a prow, which suggests that the coin may have been minted to commemorate a military victory or to promote the city's maritime trade.
