Interesting fact
The Denarius (Anonymous: Marsic Confederation; Corfinium) (90 BC) coin was part of a series of coins issued during the Roman Republic that featured the goddess Venus on the obverse (front side) and a Roman warship on the reverse (back side). This design was meant to symbolize the Roman Republic's growing naval power and its expansion into the Mediterranean region.
