Interesting fact
The Denarius coin is interesting because it features a rare image of a Roman consul, L. Sentius, on one side, and a jug on the other. The jug is believed to represent the Roman goddess of plenty, Abundantia, and symbolizes the prosperity and wealth of the Roman Republic during that time.
