Interesting fact
The Marcus Aurelius coin is a rare example of a Roman coin that was minted outside of the Roman Empire's capital city, Rome. It was minted in Olbia, a city located in the Northern Black Sea region, which was a distant province of the Roman Empire at the time. This coin is a testament to the far-reaching influence of the Roman Empire and its trade networks, as well as the importance of Olbia as a center of commerce and trade in the region.
