Interesting fact
The Denarius coin features a portrait of Junia, who was a Roman noblewoman and the daughter of Caius Junius Caii Filius. This coin is significant because it is one of the earliest examples of a Roman coin that features a woman's portrait. It was minted during the Roman Republic, a time when women were not yet considered equal to men and did not hold many political or social rights. The fact that Junia's portrait was featured on a coin suggests that she was a prominent figure in Roman society and that her family had a certain level of influence and power.
