Obverse: Demeter wearing a barley wreath Reverse: Wheat with plow and leaf
Circa 330–280 BCE
Ancient coins from Metapontum, in the Greek region of Lucania (Southern Italy), are famous for their beautiful designs, especially featuring the barley ear, symbolizing the city's agricultural wealth, often paired with deities like Demeter.
Demeter is the ancient Greek Olympian goddess of agriculture, the harvest, fertility, and sacred law, known for teaching humanity farming and grain cultivation, but most famous for her myth with daughter Persephone, whose abduction by Hades plunged the world into winter until her return, linking Demeter to the seasons, death, and the afterlife.
