Interesting fact
The Quadrans coin from the Untikesken gens (Indigetes people) features a unique legend, "iltirarker," which is believed to be a combination of two words: "ilti" meaning "sun" and "arker" meaning "ark" or "boat." This suggests that the coin may have been used as a form of currency for maritime trade or have had some other connection to the sea.
