Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Pax (Irene) on the reverse, which is a symbol of peace and prosperity. This is fitting, as Commodus' reign was marked by a period of relative peace and stability within the Roman Empire, known as the Pax Romana.
