Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare and unique design, with the portrait of C. Antius Restio on one side and a jug and lituus on the other. The jug and lituus are symbols of the Roman state and are often associated with the goddess Venus, who was revered as the protector of the Roman state. This coin is a rare example of a Roman coin that features a real person, rather than a deity or a mythological figure, and it provides valuable insight into the political and social climate of Rome during the late Republic period.
