Ancient Aspendus was located in modern day Turkey, specifically the city of Belkis in the Antalya district. Judging from the sporting events displayed on this coin (wrestlers on one side and a slinger on the other), it will come as no surprise that there was a huge amphitheater which hosted among other things, sporting events. Athletes competed entirely in the nude in ancient times to pay tribute to the god Zeus, as well as to show off their bodies and possibly intimidate other competitors. The symbol of a triskeles (three legs) is there as well. It was used predominantly as a emblem in the coinage of Syracuse but is used on coins outside of Sicily such as Aspendus as well.
