Interesting fact
The Agathokles Stater coin features a unique combination of two different animal symbols on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side depicts a quadriga, a four-horse chariot, while the reverse side features a dolphin. This combination of land and sea creatures may have been intended to represent the dual nature of Syracuse's economy, which was heavily reliant on both agriculture and maritime trade.
