Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin from the Untikesken gens (Indigetes people) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Roman and indigenous influences in its design. The coin's legend, "e-", is a combination of the Roman letter "E" and the Indigetes people's symbol for "sun", reflecting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during this time period.
