Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 AD, on one side, and the Greek goddess Tyche, who was the patron deity of the city of Thyatira, on the other side. This coin was minted during Nero's reign and was likely used for everyday transactions in the city of Thyatira, which was an important center of trade and commerce in the Roman Empire.
