Interesting fact
The 1 Triens coin from Tuder (Umbria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a stylized dolphin surrounded by waves. This dolphin motif was a common symbol in ancient Umbrian culture, often associated with the goddess Salus, who was revered for her role in protecting the community's health and well-being. The use of this symbol on the coin may suggest that the people of Tuder placed great importance on the idea of safety and prosperity, and saw the dolphin as a symbol of those values.
