Interesting fact
The Sextans coin was used in ancient Rome as a form of currency, and its name comes from the Latin word "sextans," which means "one-sixth." This is because the coin was originally valued at one-sixth of a Roman denarius, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. Over time, the value of the Sextans coin fluctuated, but it remained an important part of the Roman economy for centuries.
