Comment
Prototype coin: cf. Cr. 450/1a; B. (Postumia) 11.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Albinus Bruti coin is that it was created as an imitation of the Denarius coin of the Roman Republic, which was widely used in trade and commerce during that time. Despite being an imitation, the Albinus Bruti coin was still made of silver and had a similar design to the original Denarius, featuring the image of a Roman goddess on one side and a Roman warrior on the other. This imitation coin was created by the Dacian tribes, who lived in what is now modern-day Romania and parts of surrounding countries, and it is believed to have been used for local trade and commerce within the Dacian region.
