Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ22 (CRVSAS) from Assorus (Sicilia), is a rare example of a coin that was minted during the Roman Republic, specifically during the time of Julius Caesar's dictatorship. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a portrait of Caesar, which was a departure from the traditional Roman coinage design that typically featured gods and goddesses. This coin is a tangible piece of history that provides a glimpse into the political and economic landscape of ancient Rome during a time of great change and upheaval.
