Interesting fact
The Semis coin from Irippo (Baetica) was used as a form of currency during the Roman Republic and features a unique design. On one side, it depicts a bust of a Roman goddess, possibly Ceres or Venus, while the other side shows a stylized image of a grapevine. This coin was minted during the reign of Julius Caesar and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
