Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of Greek and Roman elements. The obverse side bears the Greek inscription "ΑΝΤΙΠ ΛΕΠΙ" (Antipolis), indicating the city of Antipolis in Gallia Narbonensis, while the reverse side features a Roman-style portrait of a woman, possibly representing the Roman goddess Libertas. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the region and the coin's role in facilitating trade and commerce between different civilizations.
