Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius coin is that it features a portrait of Julius Caesar on one side, which was a departure from the traditional Roman coinage design that typically featured gods and goddesses. This was a significant move towards the deification of Caesar, who would eventually become dictator for life and play a crucial role in the fall of the Roman Republic.
