Interesting fact
The Quincunx coin from Hatria (Picenum) is interesting because it features a unique design, with five dots arranged in a cross pattern on one side, and a lion's head on the other. This design was used to represent the five tribes of the Piceni people who lived in the region. The coin was also made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at that time, and it weighed 216.02 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin of its size.
