Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of a three-legged table, known as a "triskele," on the other. The triskele symbol was associated with the Roman goddess Venus, and its inclusion on the coin may have been meant to emphasize Augustus' connection to the goddess and the Roman pantheon. Additionally, the coin's inscription, "L PANSA SEX NIGRO AED C V I," may indicate that it was issued during a specific event or ceremony, such as a wedding or a military victory.
