Interesting fact
The Denarius - Mutinus Titinus coin features an image of a pegasus on its reverse side, which symbolizes the Roman Empire's conquest of Dacia (modern-day Romania) during the reign of Emperor Trajan. The inclusion of the pegasus on the coin was a way to commemorate the empire's military victory and expansion.
