Interesting fact
The Quinarius was the first Roman coin to feature the image of a deity, with the goddess Roma depicted on the obverse (front side) of the coin. This was a significant departure from earlier Roman coins, which had typically featured images of animals or abstract symbols. The inclusion of a deity on the Quinarius coin reflects the growing influence of religion in Roman society during this time period.
