Interesting fact
The Uncia coin was used in ancient Rome and was equivalent to 1/12 of a Roman pound. It was made of bronze and had a distinctive left-turning spiral design on the reverse side, which was a common feature of ancient Italian coins. The coin was issued during the Roman Republic, specifically between 301 BC and 201 BC, and was used for everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the Uncia was an important part of the Roman economy and was widely used throughout the empire.
