Interesting fact
The ½ As coin from Tuder (Umbria) was used during a time of great economic and cultural change in ancient Rome. The coin's design, featuring the Roman goddess Libertas on the obverse and a stylized horse on the reverse, symbolized the values of freedom and prosperity that were important to the Roman people during this period. Despite being made of bronze, a relatively inexpensive material, the coin's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item today.
