Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nomos - Xenokrates 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 youthful Hercules, while the reverse side features a representation of the Greek goddess Athena. This fusion of cultural influences reflects the rich history of Tarentum, a city in southern Italy that was founded by Greek colonizers in the 8th century BC and later became a major center of Hellenistic culture.
