Interesting fact
The Vestini tribe's Standard circulation coin 1 Biunx (275 BC - 225 BC) made of Bronze weighing 74.33 g is an interesting artifact from ancient Central Italy. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Italian and Greek influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a helmeted head of the goddess Athena, while the reverse side features a horseman riding a horse and holding a spear, surrounded by a wreath. This blend of Greek and Italian elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the two civilizations during that time period.
