Interesting fact

The coin features a portrait of the Roman general and statesman, Pompey the Great, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Roma on the other. This coin was minted during Pompey's campaigns in the eastern provinces of the Roman Republic, and its design reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
