Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Greek goddess, likely Arethusa, 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 culture, such as the use of the Latin alphabet and the inclusion of the name of the city of Tarentum, where the coin was minted. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and cultural exchange that occurred in the region during this time period.
