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 a depiction of the god Apollo on the other. This coin was minted during Nero's reign and was likely used for everyday transactions in the ancient city of Antioch on the Orontes, which is now located in modern-day Syria.
