Interesting fact
The Alaisa Archonidea coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the Roman Republic, specifically during the time of the Second Punic War. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of bronze, which was a common material used for coins during that time period, and it weighs 2.01 grams. Additionally, the fact that it's a standard circulation coin suggests that it was widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
