Roman coins were first produced in the late 4th century BCE in Italy. and continued to be minted for another eight centuries across the empire. Denominations and values more or less constantly changed but certain types such as the sestertii and denarii would persist and come to rank amongst the most famous coins in history. The leader shown on the head side of each coin represent them because of an important event they lead, where the event is on the tails side. Each and every single one of these events that have occurred has shaped the way Roman society was and why the Roman society was able to purchase goods.
