Interesting fact
The Denarius (Anonymous) coin was issued during the Roman Republic, a time when Rome was still a republic and not yet an empire. The coin features a portrait of a Roman goddess, possibly Diana or Venus, on one side, and a mythical creature, possibly a griffin or a horse, on the other side. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The fact that it weighs 3.5 grams suggests that it was a significant amount of silver, making it a valuable and important coin in the Roman economy.
