Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ25 - Traianus (ΒΕΡΟΙΑΙΩΝΑ; Beroea) (98-117) from Beroea (Syria) made of Copper weighing 9.9 g, is a rare example of a Roman coin that was minted outside of Rome, in a province under Roman rule. The fact that it was minted in Beroea, which is now modern-day Aleppo in Syria, suggests that the Roman Empire had a strong presence in the region and that the city was an important center for trade and commerce.
