Interesting fact
The Semis coin from Copia (Lucania) was used as a form of currency during the Roman Republic and features a unique design. On one side, it depicts a bust of the Roman goddess Roma, while the other side shows a mythical creature called a "kentaur," which is a half-human, half-horse creature. This coin is significant because it highlights the cultural exchange and influence of Greek mythology on Roman art and architecture during that time period.
