Interesting fact
The Uncia coin was used in the ancient Roman Empire, and its name "Uncia" actually means "one-twelfth" in Latin, referring to the fact that it was equal to one-twelfth of a Roman pound. This coin was used widely throughout the empire and was an important part of everyday transactions. It's also worth noting that the Uncia coin was made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at that time. The use of bronze for coins was practical because it was durable, resistant to corrosion, and relatively inexpensive compared to other metals. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
