Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin from Vetulonia (Etruria) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic significance for the Etruscan civilization. The coin features an image of a mythical creature, possibly a Griffin, on one side and a wheel on the other, symbolizing the connection between the Etruscans and the Greek world. The coin's design and imagery reflect the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Etruscans, who were known for their advanced engineering, art, and trade networks.
