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 in trade and commerce throughout the empire, and its design and weight were strictly regulated by the Roman government to ensure its authenticity and value.
