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 name "IVLIA TRAD" on the other, which refers to the city of Iulia Traducta in the Roman province of Baetica (present-day Spain). This suggests that the coin was minted specifically for use in this region, and may have been used in everyday transactions or as a symbol of the Roman Empire's influence and power.
