Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Sextans coin from Eustibaikula is that it features a unique blend of ancient Egyptian and Roman influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized bust of a pharaoh, while the reverse side features a image of a Roman goddess, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Roman rule in Egypt.
