Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Roman and indigenous designs. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the image of a Roman Emperor, likely Augustus or Tiberius, while the reverse (back) side features a stylized image of a Turdetani warrior, highlighting the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Roman occupation of the region.
