Interesting fact
The Denarius coin was minted during the Roman Republic, a time when Rome was still a republic and not yet an empire. The coin features the image of Appius Clodius Pulcher, a Roman politician and military leader, on one side, and the letters "T•MANL•AP•CL•Q•VR" on the other, which stand for "Tribune of the Plebeians, Appius Clodius, Son of Appius, Quaestor, Vigintvir" - indicating Clodius' various political and military roles. It's interesting to note that Clodius was a controversial figure in Roman history, known for his populist policies and his efforts to expand the power of the plebeians, or common people, at the expense of the aristocracy. He was also known for his rivalry with Cicero, another famous Roman statesman and orator, who was instrumental in his eventual exile. Overall, this coin provides a fascinating glimpse into the political and social dynamics of ancient Rome during a time of great change and upheaval.
