Magistrate of Marcus Claudius Serapion
Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ14 - Galba (ΟΠΟΥΝ ΕΠΙ; Locri) (68-69) from Locri (Achaea), is a rare example of a Roman imperial coin that features a provincial mint mark. The " Locri" mint mark on the coin indicates that it was produced at the local mint in Locri, which was a small city in ancient Greece that was under Roman rule at the time. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians who study the Roman Empire's coinage and provincial administration.
