Interesting fact
The 1 Sextans coin from Iguvium (Umbria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stylized horse's head with a spiral mane. This design is believed to have been inspired by the ancient Italic people's reverence for horses and their association with strength, speed, and fertility. The coin's design may have also been influenced by the ancient Greek tradition of depicting horses on coins, which was a common motif in ancient Greek numismatics.
