Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of Augustus, the first emperor of ancient Rome, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Ceres on the other. Ceres was an important deity in ancient Carthage, and her presence on the coin highlights the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Rome and Carthage during the Roman Republic period.
