Interesting fact
The Denarius coin was minted during the Roman Republic, a time when Rome was still a republic and not yet an empire. The coin features a quadriga, or a chariot pulled by four horses, on the reverse side, which was a common design element on Roman coins during this period. The use of the quadriga on coins was meant to symbolize the power and prestige of Rome, as well as the importance of horse breeding and chariot racing in Roman culture.
