Everything about Quincunx Coin totally explained
The
quincunx was an
Ancient Roman bronze coin produced during the
Roman Republic. The word
quincunx comes from Latin "quinque" which means "five" and "uncia" which means "one twelfth", because the coin was valued at five-twelfths of an
as (a libra or 5 unciae). This value was sometimes symbolized by a patterns of five dots arranged like the points of a die, so this pattern also came to be called
quincunx.
It was only produced during the
Second Punic War (
218 to
204 BC). It wasn't part of the standard Roman monetary system and was produced by mints at
Luceria (mod. Lucera),
Teate (mod. Chieti),
Larinum (mod. Larino), and northern
Apulia.
