Interesting fact
The Hemilitron coin from Enna (Sicily) has a unique design feature - it has a rectangular hole in the center, which was used to thread a cord or string through, allowing the coin to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This suggests that the coin served both as a medium of exchange and as a symbol of status or protection.
