Interesting fact
The 1 Sextans coin from Vetulonia (Etruria) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Etruscan and Roman elements. The coin's design includes a depiction of a helmeted head, which is a common motif in Etruscan art, but it also includes the Roman numeral "I" on the reverse side, indicating that it was issued during the Roman Republic. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between the Etruscans and the Romans.
