Interesting fact
The Dupondius coin , issued during the reign of Tiberius (14-37 AD), features an interesting reverse design. The reverse of the coin depicts a scene of a Roman warship, known as a "trireme," which was a symbol of Roman naval power and military might. This design was commonly used on coins during the Roman Empire as a way to showcase the empire's military prowess and dominance over the seas.
