Interesting fact
The Triens coin was used as a means of payment for Roman soldiers during the Second Punic War, which lasted from 218 to 201 BC. The coin's design featured the image of a warship, known as a trireme, which was a symbol of the Roman navy's power and dominance in the Mediterranean. The use of the Triens coin as a form of payment for soldiers helped to facilitate the Roman army's expansion and military campaigns during this time.
