Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Julia Domna, who was a powerful and influential Roman empress during the reign of her husband, Septimius Severus. She was known for her intelligence, political savvy, and her efforts to promote the cult of the Roman gods. The coin's design, which includes the image of Julia Domna and the inscription "GENIO COLON ANTIOCH," suggests that she was held in high esteem by the people of Antioch of Pisidia, who were proud to have her as their patron.
