Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin from the Roman Republic (509 BC - 27 BC) has an interesting fact that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a Roman leader, in this case, the anonymous ROMA. This was a departure from the traditional depiction of gods and goddesses on coins and signified the growing power and influence of the Roman Republic.
