Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin from Firmum (Picenum) was used as a form of payment for everyday transactions, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called a "griffin." The griffin was a symbol of protection and strength in ancient Greek and Roman mythology, and its presence on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea that the coin was a reliable and trustworthy form of currency.
