Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ - Trajan (98-117) from Antioch on the Orontes (Syria) made of Bronze weighing 13.81g, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. It's considered a rare coin because it was minted during the reign of Trajan, who was a Roman emperor known for his military conquests and extensive public works projects. The coin's rarity is also due to the fact that it was minted in Antioch, which was an important city in the Roman Empire at the time, but not as many coins were minted there compared to other cities. Additionally, the coin's bronze composition and weight of 13.81g make it stand out among other coins from the same period. All these factors combined make it a highly sought-after coin among collectors and historians.
