Interesting fact
The Quincunx coin from Capua features a unique design element - a small crescent moon on the reverse side, which is not commonly found on ancient Roman coins. This crescent moon symbolizes the Roman goddess of the moon, Luna, and may have been included to indicate the coin's connection to the Roman lunar calendar.
