Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nomos coin from Tarentum is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a helmeted head of Athena on one side and a horseman on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in ancient Greece, and its design reflects the blending of Greek and indigenous Italian influences.
