Emona or Aemona (short for Colonia Iulia Aemona) was a Roman castrum, settled by colonists from northern part of the ancient Roman province of Italy. It was the seat of a bishopric which has had intensive contacts with the ecclesiastical circle of Milan, reflected in the architecture of the early Christian complex along the Erjavec Street in present-day Ljubljana.
Slovenian euro coins, first issued for circulation on 1 January 2007, feature a unique design for each coin. The selection process for the coins started in April 2004, involving preliminary discussions with numismatists, designers and experts. The general public was also invited to participate in a public tender concerning proposals of motifs. |
