Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, on one side, and a depiction of the goddess Segobriga on the other. Segobriga was a local goddess worshipped in the region where the coin was minted, and her image on the coin highlights the blending of Roman and indigenous cultures that occurred during the Roman Empire.
