Interesting fact
The Triens coin was used during a time of significant economic and political change in Rome, with the Roman Republic transitioning from a primarily agricultural society to a more urbanized and commercialized society. The coin's design, featuring the image of a dolphin and a trident, symbolized Rome's growing influence in the Mediterranean and its increasing involvement in trade and commerce.
