Interesting fact
The Aureus coin , which was minted in 82 BC during the Roman Republic, features an image of Lucius Manlius Torquatus, a Roman consul and military leader, on one side, and an image of L. Sulla, another Roman consul, on the other side. This coin is notable because it was minted during a time of political tension and conflict in Rome, known as the "Sulla's dictatorship," and it may have been used as a way for the ruling elite to demonstrate their power and wealth. Additionally, the coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
