Interesting fact
The Triens coin was used in ancient Rome and was equivalent to one-third of a Roman As, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The Triens was made of bronze and had a distinctive design featuring dots or pellets below the central image, which is why it's sometimes referred to as the "Dots below" Triens. Despite its relatively small value, the Triens was an important coin in ancient Rome, as it was widely used for everyday transactions and was a key part of the Roman economy.
