Interesting fact
The Aelia Flaccilla coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Theodosius I, who was the last emperor to rule over a united Roman Empire. The coin features an image of Aelia Flaccilla, the empress, on the obverse side, and an image of the Roman goddess Salus (health) on the reverse side. The inscription "SALVS REIPVBLICAE" on the reverse side translates to "health of the republic," which was a common motto during Theodosius' reign. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact from a significant period in Roman history.
