Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tetras coin from Thermai Himerensis (Sicily) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery, including a helmeted head of Athena on one side and a horseman on the other. This coin was issued during a time of great cultural and political change in the region, and its design reflects the blending of Greek and indigenous influences.
