Quincunx (Roman coin) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Quincunx (Roman coin)
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 (also called a ''libra''). This value was sometimes symbolized by a pattern 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 was not 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. A coin with the same value was minted in Capua, during the Second Punic War, after the defeat of Cannae. == External links ==
