Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ - Augustus (30 BC) from Corinth (Achaea) made of Bronze, features an image of Augustus Caesar on one side and a depiction of the goddess Athena on the other. This coin was part of a series of coins issued by Augustus to promote his image and ideology throughout the Roman Empire. The image of Athena on the coin was likely chosen because Corinth was an important center of worship for the goddess, and Augustus wanted to associate himself with her wisdom and strength.
