Interesting fact
The Semis coin , which was minted in Carthago Nova (present-day Cartagena, Spain) during the Roman Republic, features an image of a warship on its reverse side. This design was a common motif on coins issued by Roman generals during the period, as it symbolized their military prowess and naval power. The inclusion of this image on the coin highlights the importance of the Roman navy in the region and the influence of Roman military might in the area.
