Interesting fact
The Semis coin , which features Augustus (C V T) and was minted in Tarraco (Tarraconensis) between 4-14 AD, is considered a rare and valuable coin among collectors. It's one of the few coins from the Roman Empire that was made of bronze, rather than the more common silver or gold, and its relatively small weight of 4.95 grams makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
