Interesting fact
The Quincunx was a coin used in ancient Rome, and it was the first coin to feature the image of a Roman consul. The coin , which was produced in Ariminum (now known as Rimini) in Umbria, features the image of a consul on one side and the Roman goddess Roma on the other. This coin was used during a time of great expansion and growth for the Roman Republic, and it played an important role in the economy of the time.
