One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of ancient Roman and Cilbiceni cultures. The Semis coin was a standard circulation coin used in the Roman Empire, but this particular coin was minted in Baicipo, a city located in the region of Cilicia, which was inhabited by the Cilbiceni people. The coin's design reflects a mix of Roman and Cilbiceni influences, making it a fascinating example of cultural exchange and diversity in the ancient world.
