Interesting fact
The Tressis - Augustus coin from Gades (Baetica) is interesting because it features a unique blend of Roman and indigenous designs. On one side, it depicts the Roman emperor Augustus, while on the other, it shows a representation of the ancient Iberian goddess Tanit, highlighting the cultural exchange and syncretism that occurred during the Roman occupation of the Iberian Peninsula.
