Interesting fact
The Aegeae (Cilicia) Æ25 coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD), and it features an image of the emperor on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts a sacrificial scene with a bull and a priest. This coin was part of a series of coins minted by Claudius to promote the Roman Empire's expansion into the eastern provinces, and it's a great example of the cultural exchange that occurred between the Roman Empire and the ancient civilizations of Asia Minor.
