Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of influences from both the Indigetes people and the Roman Republic. The coin's design includes a combination of traditional Indigetes symbols and motifs, such as the legend "eba XV" (meaning "good luck" in the Indigetes language), alongside Roman elements like the use of bronze and the standard circulation coin design. This blending of cultures reflects the complex history of the region and the interactions between different civilizations during that time period.
