Interesting fact
The Semis (jug) coin from the Untikesken gens (Indigetes people) is interesting because it features a unique design that reflects the cultural and religious beliefs of the Indigetes people. The coin depicts a jug, which was a sacred symbol in Indigetes culture, representing fertility and abundance. The coin's design also includes a stylized image of a grapevine, which was a significant crop for the Indigetes people and represented their connection to the land and their agricultural traditions. The coin's bronze material and 8g weight also provide insight into the technological and economic developments of the time.
