Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Victoriatus coin is that it was used as a means of propaganda by the Roman Republic. The coin's reverse side features the letters "ROMA" and a depiction of a she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. This imagery was used to promote the idea of Roman supremacy and to reinforce the idea that the Roman Republic was a powerful and prosperous state.
