Interesting fact
The Julia Mamaea coin was issued during the reign of Emperor Alexander Severus, who ruled the Roman Empire from 222 to 235 AD. The coin's inscription, "COL FL PAC DEVLT," stands for "Colonia Flavia Pacensis Deultensium," which indicates that it was issued by the Roman colony of Deultum in the province of Thracia (now modern-day Bulgaria). This coin is a rare example of a provincial issue from this time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
