The obverse side of the coin features a quadriga, a four-horse chariot, symbolizing victory and triumph. This intricate design reflects Syracuse’s military successes and the city’s significant political and cultural development during the period of its minting.
The reverse side showcases the head of Arethousa, surrounded by dolphins, emphasizing her connection to the sea and her role as a patron deity of Syracuse. The myth of Arethousa, a nymph pursued by the river god Alpheus and transformed into a stream by Artemis, symbolizes persistence and transformation—themes that resonated deeply with the people of Syracuse.
This Tetradrachm was created during a flourishing period in Syracuse’s history, when the city-state was expanding its influence and repelling external threats.
