Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ19 Hadrian (117-138) from Samosata (Syria) made of Bronze weighing 6.35g, is a rare example of a Roman coin that was minted outside of Rome. The Roman Empire had a vast territory, and coins were minted in many different places, but it's still unusual to find a coin from a city like Samosata, which is now in modern-day Syria. This coin is a reminder of the diverse and widespread nature of the Roman Empire, and how its influence stretched across many different cultures and regions.
