Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin featuring Herennia Etruscilla is notable for its unusual design, as it depicts the empress wearing a distinctive headdress known as a "copchae," which was a type of veil worn by Roman women during certain religious rituals. This design element is rare in Roman coinage and highlights the influence of Roman culture and religion on the empire's currency.
