Coinage was invented around 650 BCE in the kingdom of Lydia (in present-day western Turkey), a region rich in gold. Nearby Greek cities soon copied the practice of minting coins, and by 500 BCE the fashion had spread to all parts of Greece and southern Italy. Carefully weighed lumps of gold and silver were stamped with a depiction of the city’s patron deity or another emblem with local significance. The images are often of superb artistic quality, reflecting civic pride.

Obverse: A nude, helmeted horseman astride rearing horse holding shield and spears; he lances with another spear downwards to right. Inscribed below horse: ΣΑ [SA].
