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 featured an image of the Greek goddess Athena, who was revered for her wisdom, strength, and strategic thinking. These qualities were highly valued in ancient Greek society, and the coin's design may have been intended to symbolize the city's values and aspirations.
