Coins of women as personifications of places

Almost every city and country in the centuries before the common era was personified by a patron deity.  Much like modern-day mascots, these figures were symbols for specific localities. Take for example coin #125 and #126, two silver Greek coins showing the heads of the nymphs Larissa and Histiaea.  Taken from the cities of Larissa and Histiaea respectively, these nymphs serve as representations of their hometowns.  Likewise, Rome was represented by the goddess Roma on coinage for centuries, and the city of Constantinople appears personified on #129 for the world to see.
