Interesting fact
The Denarius coin , which was minted in 144 BC during the Roman Republic, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a Roman deity or mythological figure, this coin bears an image of a warship, known as a "quadriga," which was a symbol of Roman military power and dominance. This design was meant to commemorate the Roman victory over Carthage in the First Punic War, which had ended just a few years prior to the coin's minting. The inclusion of this design on the coin serves as a testament to the importance of military power and expansion in Roman culture during this time period.
