Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from Thermai Himerensis (Sicily) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a horseman riding a horse in a galloping pose. This design was not commonly seen in ancient Greek coinage, and it's believed to represent the cultural exchange and influence of the ancient Greeks and the indigenous people of Sicily.
