Interesting fact
The Stater coin from Terina (Bruttium) was minted during a time of great cultural and artistic achievement in ancient Greece, particularly in the city of Syracuse, which was known for its beautiful coins. The coin's design likely reflects the influence of Syracusan art and culture on the city of Terina.
