Interesting fact
The Quadrans (rooster) coin from the Untikesken gens (Indigetes people) is interesting because it features a unique design that showcases the cultural and artistic traditions of the Indigetes people, who were a tribe that lived in what is now modern-day Turkey. The coin's design includes a rooster, which was a symbol of fertility and prosperity in ancient Indigetes culture. Additionally, the coin's bronze material and 3.5g weight make it a valuable and rare artifact that provides insight into the economic and trade practices of the time.
