Editor: Here we have a coin from the Leuci people of Tullum, its weight is measured at 2.89 grams. What symbols speak to you from this artifact? Curator: The wear and patina tell a story. This isn't just currency; it's a tangible link to a culture. What images do you see struggling to emerge from the coin's surface? Editor: I think I see a horse on one side. Curator: Indeed. The horse, a potent symbol. What does it evoke for you in this context? Power? Travel? Perhaps something more? Its presence here connects the Leuci to broader Indo-European traditions where the horse held sacred value. Editor: I hadn't thought of that connection. Seeing the coin this way helps me appreciate its cultural memory. Curator: Exactly. Visual symbols carry emotional weight over time.
