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 a significant amount at the time. The coin featured an image of the Roman goddess Roma on one side and the letters "ROMA" on the other. The Denarius was used for over 400 years and was an important symbol of Roman power and influence. I hope you find this information helpful! Is there anything else you would like to know?
