Interesting fact
The Triens coin features the image of a mythical creature called a "Triton," which is a half-human, half-fish creature that was believed to inhabit the sea. The Triton is depicted on the coin with a human body and a fish tail, and it is surrounded by seaweed and other marine elements. This imagery was likely chosen to symbolize the Roman Republic's connection to the sea and its role as a major maritime power.
