Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and the letters "CASSIO C VALER FENE II VIR" on the other, which stands for "Caius Cassius Valerianus, duumvir for the second time" - indicating that the coin was issued during his tenure as a local magistrate in Caesaraugusta.
