Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denaro ND (1232-1400) coin from the Archbishopric of Ravenna is that it features a unique blend of Christian and classical imagery. On one side, the coin bears the image of the Archbishop's mitre and crozier, symbolizing the authority of the Church. On the other side, it features a depiction of the Roman goddess Fortuna, representing the prosperity and good fortune of the city. This blending of religious and classical themes reflects the cultural and historical context of the time, when the Church and ancient Roman traditions coexisted and influenced each other.
