Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which was issued during the reign of Emperor Nerva (250-251 AD), features an image of the Roman goddess Salus on the reverse side. Salus was the goddess of safety, security, and well-being, and her depiction on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea of the Roman Empire's commitment to protecting and preserving the welfare of its citizens.
