Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD), who was known for his extensive travels throughout the Roman Empire and his efforts to promote Greek culture and architecture. The coin's design, featuring the image of a Roman emperor on one side and a goddess on the other, reflects the blending of Roman and Greek cultural influences that occurred during this period.
