Interesting fact
The Dupondius coin featuring Augustus (AVGVSTVS DIVI F) from Gades (Baetica) is interesting because it was made of bronze, a material that was commonly used for coins during that time period, but it weighed 19.2g, which is slightly heavier than the standard weight for a Dupondius coin, which was typically around 18-19g. This slight variation in weight could indicate that the coin was minted using a different process or with different materials, making it a unique and interesting piece of history.
