Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin from the City of Corduba (Turduli people) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Roman and indigenous influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a Roman goddess, likely Jupiter or Juno, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Turduli warrior, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Roman Republic period.
