Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Thourioi (Lucania) was used as a form of currency in the ancient Greek city of Thourioi, which was located in the region of Lucania, in southern Italy. The coin features an image of the Greek goddess Athena on one side and an image of a bull on the other side. The use of these coins as currency in Thourioi during the 3rd century BC suggests that the city was actively engaged in trade and commerce during that time period.
