Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ21 - Trajan (ϹΥΕΔΡΕωΝ) (98-117) from Syedra (Cilicia) made of Bronze weighing 10.99 g, is a rare example of a coin that was minted during the reign of Emperor Trajan, who ruled the Roman Empire from 98 to 117 AD. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted in a province that was not part of the Roman Empire at the time, but was instead part of the Roman client state of Cilicia. This highlights the extent of the Roman Empire's influence and trade networks during that time period.
