Interesting fact

The Quadrans coin was used as a means of payment for everyday transactions, and its design featured the image of a mythical creature called a "quadrant," which was a combination of a horse and a dolphin. This unique design was meant to symbolize the connection between the land and sea, and it was a distinctive feature of Roman coinage during that time period.
