Comment
These coins were originally attributed to Vetulonia, but have been re-attributed to Luca based on where the majority of the coins were found.Interesting fact
The Cerberus coin from Luca (Etruria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting the mythical creature Cerberus, a three-headed dog that guards the entrance to the underworld in Greek mythology. This design was likely chosen to symbolize the city's connection to the ancient Greek world and its cultural influence.
