Comment
Three pieces known according to ACIP# 2633, page 518.Interesting fact
The Semis coin from Lacipo (Turduli people) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange in the region. It's fascinating to think that this coin could have been used to purchase goods or services from merchants who traveled along the ancient trade routes that connected civilizations across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
