Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Justinian I, who was known for his ambitious military campaigns and his efforts to reconquer lost territories from the Roman Empire. Despite the challenges he faced, including the Plague of Justinian, which ravaged the empire during his reign, Justinian was able to maintain the empire's stability and secure its borders. This coin, which was minted in Carthage, is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Byzantine Empire and its influence on the Mediterranean world.
