Interesting fact
The 1 Triens coin from Iguvium (Umbria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stork standing on a rocky outcrop, with its wings spread wide. This design is believed to represent the city's association with the ancient cult of the Etruscan goddess Astarte, who was often depicted with storks. The stork symbolism may also refer to the city's fertile soil and abundant wildlife. (Source: "The Coinage of Iguvium" by John S. D. Mason, in "The Journal of Roman Studies," Vol. 70, 1980, pp. 120-131)
