Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of a goddess, possibly Laelia, on the other. This coin was minted during Augustus' reign, which marked the beginning of the Roman Empire and the end of the Roman Republic. The coin's design reflects the shift in power and the new imperial system that was established during this time.
