Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and the image of Composto et Marvillo, two local gods of Osca, on the other side. This coin is a unique example of the blending of Roman and local cultures during the Roman Empire.
