Because they show exactly what they were ment for - to pay a prostitute. Those coins were called Spintriae. There are 184 different versions of those coins known today.

Prostitution was wide spread in Roman Times. The soldiers of the legions were not allowed to marry for 25 years while serving, so this „solution“ was essential for the functioning of the army.

Later those coins probably were used also as a form of play money and collectibles amongst soldiers. Collecting them and having one from each „design“ was a big thing in the often boring every day life on watch duty out north on the Limes.

And ther is an other important fact. How else would you pay for a prostitute? With a normal coin? Well on those coins one side had always the head of the emperor, a semi-religiously venerated person, and on the other side even a picture of a god/goddess

Hayo ndio Masalia ya eneo la Gbadolite huko Zaire (Congo DR ya sasa) aliyoyaacha Mobutu Sese Seko, Rais wa miaka hiyo.

Palikuwepo na International Airport, midege aina ya Concorde ilikuwa inatua hapo direct kutokea New York.

Sasa wanaishi popo na wanyama mwitu wengine.
