Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Victory (Victoria) on the reverse side, which was a common motif in Roman coinage during this period. The goddess Victory is depicted standing on the prow of a ship, symbolizing the Roman Empire's military conquests and naval power. This design was used on many coins during the reign of Emperor Maximianus (286-305 AD), who was known for his military campaigns and expansion of the empire's borders.
