Interesting fact
The Isinda (Pisidia) Æ20 coin from 16 BC - 15 BC is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of the Roman goddess Libertas on the obverse (front side), and a representation of the Roman goddess Ceres on the reverse (back side). This coin was issued during the reign of Roman Emperor Augustus, who was known for his efforts to promote Roman culture and trade throughout the empire. The use of Libertas and Ceres on this coin may have been intended to symbolize the ideals of Roman liberty and abundance, which were important themes during Augustus' rule.
