Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Italian influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Greek goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a scene of a man riding a dolphin, which is a common motif in ancient Italian art. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich cultural heritage of Tarentum, which was a Greek city in southern Italy.
