Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Quadrans coin from Iltirta is that it features a unique blend of ancient Illyrian and Roman elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized head of the Illyrian goddess, Delphoi, while the reverse side features a Roman-style wreath surrounding the coin's denomination. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the coin's place in the broader context of ancient European trade and commerce.
