Ancient Roman coins with cex scenes were used in ancient Rome to request and pay for different “services” in brothels and from prostit*tes on the street. Since there were a lot of foreigners coming to the city that did not speak the language and most of the prostit*tes were slaves captured from other places the coins made the transactions easy and efficient. One side of these coins showed what the buyer wanted and the other showed the amount of money to be paid for the act.
