Interesting fact
The Tetradrachm coin from East Noricum (Kingdom of Noricum) was used as a means of payment and exchange during the time of the Roman Empire. It was made of silver and weighed 11.06 grams, making it a substantial coin that could be used for larger transactions. The fact that it was used in the Kingdom of Noricum, which was located in what is now modern-day Austria and Slovenia, highlights the extent of the Roman Empire's influence and trade networks during that time.
