Interesting fact
The Aulus Caecilius coin, also known as the "Caecilia" coin, was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in ancient Rome. The coin's design features a portrait of Aulus Caecilius, a Roman statesman and military leader, on one side, and the image of a Roman goddess, likely Roma, on the other. The coin's bronze composition and 28g weight were standard for Roman coins of its time. Despite its seemingly ordinary features, the Caecilia coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
