Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin, which was issued during the reign of Emperor Aemilianus in 253 AD, features an image of the goddess Nemesis on its reverse side. Nemesis was the goddess of retribution and vengeance in Roman mythology, and her presence on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea of the Roman Empire's power and authority being upheld through the rule of law and justice.
