Comment
The gens Livineia was a plebeian family.
Interesting fact
The Denarius coin was used as a means of payment for Roman soldiers during the Roman Republic. It was a silver coin that was valued at 10 asses, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The coin was introduced during the reign of Julius Caesar and was used until the fall of the Roman Republic. It's interesting to note that the coin's design featured the image of a Roman warrior, which symbolized the power and strength of the Roman military.
