Obverse: Head of “Arethusa” wearing olive-wreath, earring and necklace, framed
within a circle and surrounded by four dolphins swimming clockwise.
Arethusa means "the waterer". In Greek mythology, she was a
nymph and daughter of Nereus (making her a Nereid), and later
became a fountain on the island
of Ortygia in Syracuse, Sicily.
Syracuse is
mentioned in the Bible in the Acts of the Apostles book at
28:12 as Paul stayed there. During Demeter's search for
her daughter Persephone,
Arethusa entreated Demeter to discontinue her punishment of Sicily for her
daughter's disappearance. She told the goddess that while traveling in her
stream below the earth, she saw her daughter looking sad as the queen
of Hades.
Arethusa occasionally appeared on coins as a
young girl with a net in her hair and dolphins around her head. These
coins were common around Ortygia, the location in which she ends up after
fleeing from Alpheus.

Sovereign reformer, anxious to religious
orthodoxy and culture, it protects the art and literature and is
the source of the “Carolingian Renaissance.” His political work immediately,
the empire did not long survive him, however. Conforming to custom estate
Germanic Charlemagne from 806 provides sharing of the Empire between his three
sons. After many adventures, the empire finally split in 843between

The feudal disintegration of the centuries
