Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Biunx coin from Larinum (Frentani) is that it features a unique combination of symbols and imagery on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a helmeted head of the goddess Roma, while the reverse side shows a horseman riding a horse and holding a spear. This imagery suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of military currency, or that it was intended to promote the power and prestige of the Roman military. Additionally, the use of bronze as the material for the coin suggests that it may have been widely circulated among the general population, as bronze was a more affordable and accessible material than other metals at the time.
